It's more important than ever to brush and floss regularly when you have braces, so the teeth and gums are healthy during orthodontic treatment. Patients who do not keep their teeth clean may require more frequent visits to the dentist for a professional cleaning. Adults who have a history of gum disease should also see a periodontist during orthodontic treatment. Watch the two videos below on the proper care of braces during orthodontic treatment.
What can you eat? Let's talk about what you shouldn't eat! For the first day or so, stick to soft foods. Avoid tough meats, hard breads, and raw vegetables. Before long, you'll be able to bite a cucumber again. But you'll need to protect your orthodontic appliances when you eat for as long as you're wearing braces.
When you get your braces on, you may feel general soreness in your mouth and teeth may be tender to biting pressures for 3 -- 5 days. Take Tylenol or whatever you normally take for headache or discomfort. The lips, cheeks and tongue may also become irritated for one to two weeks as they toughen and become accustomed to the braces. We will supply wax to put on the braces in irritated areas to lessen discomfort.
This is to be expected throughout treatment. Don't worry! It's normal. Teeth must loosen first so they can move. The teeth will firm up in their new --- corrected --- positions after treatment is completed.
To successfully complete orthodontic treatment, the patient must work together with the orthodontist. The teeth and jaws can only move toward their corrected positions if the patient consistently wears the rubber bands or other appliances as prescribed. Lack of cooperation following instructions and damaged appliances lengthen the treatment time... so please ... follow instructions.

Love it there! Staff is awesome, they are quick and efficient. I can sign on to Wi-Fi and continue working while my daughter is getting her appointment done. Also easy to get her right in for concerns and for the money we get even more than we pay for.

Extremely friendly staff. When they said doctor will be in shortly, that's exactly what happened. So much better than previous orthodontist! Glad we decided to get second opinion here.

They always bring us back promptly. Cole said Heather was the best! He said he wishes he could have her every time, she was gentle in his mouth & cautious when moving cords around him! He got his Turbos off & he said she explained everything that she was doing to him. Thanks Heather for a great appointment! -Cole G.

I had braces for 7 years of my life and they made that experience as efficient and painless as possible. I get compliments on my teeth and I know it's all thanks to them! Plus, the kid-friendly environment eases anxiety for first timers.
