The most obvious benefit of orthodontic treatment is that of an improved smile and self-esteem, but the real benefits are so much more important. Orthodontic treatment can help improve the function of your teeth, better oral hygiene, improved health in the long-term, reduced risk of injury, and reduced self-consciousness.

There are several signs that indicate whether phase one or phase two orthodontic treatment is necessary. This includes bucked teeth, an overbite or underbite, crowded or crooked teeth, poor alignment, difficulty chewing, teeth that wear oddly, excessive spacing between teeth, and thumb sucking that continued through an older age (six or seven).

Orthodontic treatment can really start at any age, however, if early treatment (phase one) is needed that must start between the ages of six and ten. Early treatment can prevent the need for jaw surgery and complications.

Placement of braces doesnt hurt, however, when theyre connected with archwires your teeth might feel achy for a couple of days. Additionally, surrounding tissues like your cheeks and lips could need some time to get used to the feeling of braces.

You will wear your aligners nearly all of the time, with the exception of about two hours per day. Invisalign treatments are different for everyone, but most patients can achieve their ideal smiles within one to two years. During that time, you can expect to make occasional dental visits to monitor your progress.

Following your treatment, you will no longer need to wear Invisalign trays. However, you will need to wear a retainer each day to help protect your new smile. It is also important to continue visiting your dentist for routine check-ups and twice-yearly cleaning.

I was hoping this office would be different from the other office we left (Western Dental) but it is proving to have the same downfalls. The wait times are anywhere from 30-45 minutes, and this is with an appointment. The last technician we got was not friendly or asked if I had any questions or concerns. The doctor had the same attitude. And to make matters worst one of the rubber bands from my sons braces popped off and now we have to wait who knows how long to have someone see him to fix their mistake.

I grinded my teeth when I had braces and I never noticed and neither did Happy Braces. When I got my braces off, I felt that my teeth weren't perfectly straight but I thought it wasn't that big of a deal. After a few months I went back for a check up and complained that my retainers didn't fit right and so my front teeth were shifting and I was told that my teeth were the same. It been almost a year now and I still constantly wear my retainers, but my teeth have shifted so much. Before I got braces my main concern was my two front teeth, and now the top four front teeth are my concern.
