Things you might be wondering

Conventional braces gradually shift teeth in a desired direction by applying constant pressure over time. Your orthodontist will tighten the wire connecting the brackets to the teeth on a regular basis in order to realign the teeth.

Just like with Invisalign, how long braces take to work depends on how complicated the case is. Braces are typically worn for three years to eighteen months. To track development, follow-ups on a regular basis are crucial.

Braces require extra attention and patience when flossing. For easier access to the wires and brackets, use a floss threader and waxed floss. Flossing on a daily basis is essential to maintaining good dental hygiene when wearing braces.

Braces and other orthodontic procedures are covered by many dental insurance plans. It is advisable to check with your insurance carrier as coverage details may differ.
