For Teens

Hearing “YOU NEED BRACES!” might initially seem daunting, but there’s no need to worry. Modern braces are more comfortable, stylish, and versatile than ever, coming in various styles, materials, and colors that can match your lifestyle and fashion sense.

The duration of wearing braces varies per individual and depends on several factors. The timing of treatment is crucial, as early intervention can allow for adjustments as your jaw grows. The specific corrections your teeth need and your cooperation in wearing your appliances as prescribed play significant roles in how quickly you see results. Treatment could be as short as 12 months or extend to about 24 months, but with our range of options from ceramic to invisible braces and even traditional metal braces, you’re covered every step of the way.

Regarding your diet, while braces might require some adjustments, you won’t have to give up all your favorites. It’s best to avoid chewy, crunchy, sticky, and hard foods that could damage your braces. Instead, opt for softer foods like dairy products, soft bread, tender meats, and steamed vegetables. Enjoying a variety of brace-friendly foods can make your orthodontic journey a smoother and more enjoyable experience.

Don’t forget to schedule your next checkup with us to ensure your treatment is on track and to discuss any concerns you might have about your braces or your diet.
