THE BIG PICTURE

A plan for your bite.

Metal brackets bonded to each tooth, joined by a wire that is adjusted every few weeks. The wire does the work; the brackets simply give it something to pull against.

IS IT RIGHT FOR YOU?

Let’s find your fit.

Bites that need real rotation, extraction space closed, or teeth moved in more than one direction at once. Also the option when a patient would not wear aligners for 22 hours a day, which is most children.

Your clinician will help you decide at your consultation.

YOUR JOURNEY

From first records to your retainer.

  1. 01

    Records

    A digital scan and photographs. No impression trays.

  2. 02

    Plan

    Your orthodontist walks you through the movement and the cost, in writing.

  3. 03

    Fitting

    Around an hour. Nothing about it hurts; the ache starts the next day and fades.

  4. 04

    Adjustments

    Every four to eight weeks, usually twenty minutes.

  5. 05

    Retention

    The day the braces come off, retention starts. It is not optional.

A LITTLE MORE CLARITY

Your questions.
Answered.

Still wondering about something?

Ask our team ↗
At what age should my child first see an orthodontist?
Around seven, when the first adult molars and incisors are through. Most children who come at that age are told to check back in a year or two, and that is the right answer more often than treatment is.
How long does treatment usually take?
It depends entirely on what is being moved. You get a range in writing at the consultation, and we tell you when the estimate changes rather than letting it drift.
Do braces hurt?
The fitting does not. The ache starts the following day, lasts a few days, and returns briefly after each adjustment. Ordinary painkillers handle it.
