Traditional Braces FAQ

  • What are the benefits of getting braces at Escott Orthodontics?

    At Escott Orthodontics, we use advanced technology such as SureSmile and iTero digital impressions to provide precise, comfortable, and efficient orthodontic treatment. Our expert team of orthodontists offers personalized care to ensure optimal results and a beautiful smile.

  • How do braces work to straighten teeth?

    Braces apply continuous pressure over time to slowly move teeth into their proper positions. This process involves brackets bonded to the teeth and connected by wires, which are periodically adjusted to guide teeth into alignment.

  • What types of braces are available at Escott Orthodontics?

    We offer a variety of braces options, including traditional metal braces, ceramic braces, Damon braces, and lingual braces. Each type is designed to meet specific aesthetic and treatment needs, providing effective results for patients of all ages.

  • Are braces painful?

    While there may be some initial discomfort or soreness when braces are first applied and after adjustments, this typically subsides within a few days. Over-the-counter pain relievers and orthodontic wax can help alleviate any discomfort.

  • How long does orthodontic treatment with braces take?

    The duration of treatment varies depending on the complexity of each case. On average, treatment with braces can take anywhere from 12 to 24 months. During your consultation, Dr. Escott will provide a personalized treatment plan and timeline.

  • What foods should I avoid while wearing braces?

    To prevent damage to your braces, avoid hard, sticky, and sugary foods such as nuts, popcorn, chewing gum, and candy. It’s also important to cut fruits and vegetables into smaller pieces and avoid biting directly into hard foods like apples and carrots.

  • How do I care for my braces and maintain good oral hygiene?

    Brush your teeth after every meal and floss daily using special orthodontic tools like floss threaders or water flossers. Regular dental check-ups and cleanings are also essential to maintaining oral health during orthodontic treatment.

  • Can adults get braces at Escott Orthodontics?

    Yes, we offer orthodontic treatment for adults, including traditional braces, ceramic braces, and Invisalign. Our personalized treatment plans ensure that adult patients achieve a healthy, beautiful smile.

  • What is the cost of braces at Escott Orthodontics?

    The cost of braces varies depending on the type of treatment and the complexity of each case. During your consultation, we will provide a detailed breakdown of costs and discuss flexible financing options to make treatment affordable.

  • What is the difference between metal braces and ceramic braces?

    Metal braces are made of high-grade stainless steel and are the most common type of braces. Ceramic braces are made of clear or tooth-colored materials and are less noticeable, making them a popular choice for patients concerned about aesthetics. Both types are effective in straightening teeth.

  • How often do I need to visit the orthodontist for adjustments?

    Patients typically visit our office every 6 to 8 weeks for adjustments. These appointments are crucial for monitoring progress and making necessary adjustments to ensure the teeth are moving correctly.

  • Can I play sports or musical instruments with braces?

    Yes, you can continue to play sports and musical instruments while wearing braces. It’s recommended to wear a mouthguard during sports to protect your braces and teeth from injury. With practice, most patients adapt to playing musical instruments with braces.

  • What are the signs that my child might need braces?

    Signs that your child might need braces include crowded or crooked teeth, difficulty chewing or biting, mouth breathing, thumb sucking, and teeth that meet abnormally or not at all. An early orthodontic evaluation can help determine if and when treatment is needed.

  • What is the best age to get braces for children?

    The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. Early assessment can identify potential issues and determine the best time to start treatment, which often begins between ages 10 and 14 when most permanent teeth have erupted.

  • What are the benefits of Invisalign compared to traditional braces?

    Invisalign aligners are clear, removable, and comfortable, making them a discreet option for straightening teeth. They allow for easy cleaning and eating without dietary restrictions. Invisalign is a popular choice for adults and teens who want an effective yet less noticeable orthodontic treatment.
