Frequently asked questions
Helpful answers before your visit.
These answers are general information. Your treatment options and expected outcome depend on an examination and individual diagnosis.
What age should a child have an orthodontic assessment?
Timing depends on development and the concern. An earlier assessment may be useful when there are bite, eruption or jaw-growth concerns.
Can adults have braces?
Many adults can receive orthodontic treatment. Gum health, bone support, existing dental work and treatment goals are considered during planning.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
Duration varies with the type and complexity of movement, the treatment method and how consistently instructions are followed.
