At Kita Orthodontics, we are dedicated to providing the best orthodontic care for you and your family in a friendly, fun and comfortable environment. It is our goal to make each and every visit with us a pleasant and happy experience. We value our patients and their decision to choose our office, and strive to exceed their expectations. As a dedicated team, our goal is to treat patients with respect and integrity while implementing the most current and advanced techniques.
Its 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? Lets talk about what you shouldnt eat! For the first day or so, stick to soft foods. Avoid tough meats, hard breads, and raw vegetables. Before long, youll be able to bite a cucumber again. But youll need to protect your orthodontic appliances when you eat for as long as youre 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.
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.

I was very insecure about my teeth before Kita Orthodontics, Dr. Kita suggested invisalign, so I did it. For the last year i've worn them, and i've loved the results. My teeth look amazing, very thankful.

We have used Dr Kita and his team for two of my kids. One for Invisalign and one for classic braces. They are wonderful from the introduction process to removal of braces. They educated us regarding what to expect from every step along the way. They were responsive when we had questions or concerns. I highly recommend that you reach out to them if you need orthodontic care!

Dr. Kita is personable (but not like over the top, annoying) and professional. There were other options closer to home but after reading reviews we thought it was worth the drive; so far, we're right.

I absolutely love Dr. Kita, Sarah, and Amy!! If I could give more than 5 stars I would. The staff is small and family oriented. Even if they have a bad day like any normal human, you would never be able to tell. I couldn't recommend this office enough. They are super attentive and amazing people.
