Nervous about braces? No need to fear; braces aren’t nearly as scary or unattractive as you may think. Advances in technology allow today’s braces for teens to come in many different styles and colors, which makes life with braces much more tolerable, more comfortable, and even more stylish than in the past. Our office offers metals as well as nearly invisible clear braces. In addition, you may even be a candidate for Invisalign Teen®, which uses a series of invisible, removable aligners to straighten your smile.
How long will I be in braces for?
This is what all patients want to know! The amount of time you are in braces really depends on the following:
- What needs to be corrected – Each patient presents with a unique set of problems. Your treatment depends largely on how severe your bite is and how well you respond to treatment. Treatment times can also vary depending on how quickly your body responds to treatment and based on your cooperation throughout treatment.
- YOU! – You are the most important factor in getting your braces off on time so you can begin showing the life changing smile you deserve! Your cooperation with the orthodontic appliances Dr. Bret has given you, play a key role in the length of time it takes to complete treatment!
