FAQ MAKING SMILES

Orthodontic treatment enhances not only the appearance of your smile but also the functionality of your teeth and jaws. It contributes to improved oral health and overall well-being for both you and your loved ones.

The optimal time for orthodontic treatment varies, but an initial assessment is recommended around the age of 7. Early detection allows us to address potential issues more effectively.

While discomfort is common initially, it is typically mild and short-lived. Adjusting to the braces may take some time, but the results are well worth it.

Watch for signs like difficulty chewing, speech issues, or jaw pain. If you notice any of these, it’s advisable to schedule a consultation with Dr. Sydney Simpson to assess potential bite problems.

The duration of treatment varies based on individual needs. On average, it may take anywhere from several months to a few years to achieve optimal results.

Regular appointments are essential for adjustments. Typically, patients visit Making Smiles Orthodontics every 4-8 weeks to ensure progress and make necessary adjustments.
