Usually your general dentist can tell you if you need °Ç¸çºÚÁÏ due to a problem in your bite, or due to the malalignment of your teeth. Very often, you yourself can tell if you need °Ç¸çºÚÁÏ or not if you are unhappy with your smile or the crowding of your teeth, or any other reason which might make you feel uncomfortable to smile or show your teeth.

With °Ç¸çºÚÁÏ we definitely can make your teeth straight and your smile beautiful. We always try our best and strive to achieve perfection. However, a perfect smile is not always attainable due to different factors, such as gum disease, receiving treatment at a late age, or some other unforseen reasons.

Orthodontic treatment is just like any other medical treatment - You can never guarantee that a medical treatment will achieve 100% success. However, we always achieve significant improvement on the overwhelming majority of the cases we treat, as we are constantly aiming at producing the best results possible.

During orthodontic treatment, you should avoid eating anything hard, sticky, or crispy, such as chewing gum, hard or sticky candy, popcorn, corn on the cob, nuts of any kind, or chewing on ice.

We move teeth by applying pressure on them. When we first put your °Ç¸çºÚÁÏ on, you will not feel anything except a little pressure. After a few hours, you will start feeling some ache which can be resolved by taking some Tylenol or any other over the counter pain medicine. That discomfort should only last for a few days at most. Children usually adjust to their °Ç¸çºÚÁÏ much faster than adults.

We typically accept most insurance coverage at our office, which usually covers a percentage of the fee, and you will have to pay the remainder. We will of course offer you a payment plan to fit your budget.

Yes. Every patient who undergoes orthodontic treatment has to wear retainers to make sure that their teeth do not move back. At our office, retainers are given to the patient upon removal of the °Ç¸çºÚÁÏ, included in the price of your treatment.
