Frequently Asked Questions About Orthodontics
What is orthodontics?
Orthodontics is a dental specialty that corrects teeth and jaw alignment issues using devices like braces or retainers. It is not just for teenagers — many adults also seek orthodontic treatment.
Does orthodontic treatment hurt?
While you might feel some discomfort when adjustments are made, most patients adapt quickly. We also provide options for pain management to ensure your comfort throughout the process.

How long does orthodontic treatment take?
Treatment time varies, but on average orthodontic treatment can take between 12 and 36 months. Your treatment time will depend on the severity of your misaligned teeth and bite, the type of treatment you receive and your compliance in following instructions during treatment. Age may also play a factor – for example, younger patients typically require less time as their bones are more pliable and move into position more easily. Regular appointments, typically every four to six weeks, are necessary to monitor progress.
