Frequently Asked Questions About Orthodontics
What Does Orthodontics Mean?
Orthodontics is a type of dental care that moves teeth into better positions and corrects how your top and bottom teeth fit together. It helps straighten crooked teeth and fix bite problems that can lead to serious oral health issues.
Straight teeth are simpler to clean with a toothbrush and floss. This lowers your risk of tooth decay and gum problems. A straight smile also helps you feel more confident.
At Midtown Dental Studio in Midtown Toronto, ON, we design a treatment plan that matches your specific needs and lifestyle.
How many times will I need to come in during treatment?
During treatment most patients visit us about once every 6 to 8 weeks. We will look at how your teeth are moving and make slight adjustments as treatment progresses.
Can I play sports while getting my teeth straightened?
Yes, you can! If you wear braces, use a mouthguard to keep your teeth and braces safe. If you have Invisalign clear aligners, remove them before playing contact sports and wear a mouthguard.
What should I not eat while my teeth are being straightened?
Stay away from hard, sticky, or chewy things that could break your braces. If you have Invisalign, you can be more flexible as long as you brush your teeth before putting the aligners back in after your meal.
Will I sound different when I start orthodontic treatment?
Your speech might sound a little different for the first couple of days and you may have a slight lisp. This is normal and will usually go away once your mouth gets used to Invisalign clear aligners.
When should I bring my child in for their first orthodontic evaluation?
We recommend bringing your child in for their first orthodontic evaluation around age 7. At this age, we can spot problems with how their teeth and jaw are growing and help prevent bigger issues and treatments later on.
Can adults get braces or aligners?
Absolutely! There's no age limit for getting a straighter smile. Lots of older teens and adults pick Invisalign treatment since they’re barely noticeable and work well with a busier and active lifestyle.
Does it hurt to straighten teeth?
Your teeth might feel a bit sore for a few days after each visit. This is normal—it just means your teeth are moving. If you feel too uncomfortable, we may recommend you take over-the-counter pain relief medicine from the store.
How long will it take to straighten my teeth?
Invisalign clear aligner treatment can take as little as 6 months. Most treatment usually takes 1 to 2 years. The time needed depends on your unique situation and how much your teeth need to move.
What does orthodontic treatment cost?
The price depends on what treatment you need and how much work is involved. We'll tell you the expected cost after we check your teeth during your first visit. We have payment options and your insurance coverage may help with the treatment cost.
Do I need to wear a retainer after orthodontic treatment?
Yes. Wearing the custom retainer we provide to you after treatment will help you maintain your results from your orthodontic treatment.
