Many people get traditional braces when they are young, but adults can wear them too. People choose orthodontics and braces for well-aligned teeth because it:
Results vary per patient depending on their specific issues and dental treatment needs. *On average, patients wear braces for 18-24 months to see the full effect, but straighter teeth are visible throughout the treatment process. However, results vary per patient depending on their dental treatment needs and can take as little as 6 months.

Orthodontics and braces are a common treatment for correcting teeth alignment. Before the procedure, your orthodontist examines your teeth and mouth to create an appropriate and customized treatment plan. Then, an orthodontic assistant takes x-rays, photos, and digital models of your teeth.
At the end of the treatment, your orthodontist will advise you to wear retainers. This is crucial because it ensures that the teeth do not shift with time. The exact timing can vary depending on individual progress and needs.
On average, it takes about two years to see the full orthodontic results. Treatment times vary widely depending upon your individual treatment needs and the complexity of your case. During this time, you will visit the orthodontist at regular intervals for adjustments and checkups. You should also go to your dentist for regular cleanings.
Wearing traditional braces will give you an improved smile and improve your dental health over time. The results can be permanent if you take proper care after the treatment ends. Be sure to wear your retainers as advised by your orthodontist for best results. As with any treatment, results may vary per person.
The exact cost of traditional braces varies depending on a variety of factors like:
Since braces can be medically necessary, dental health insurance may cover some or all of the cost. Either way, if you have dental insurance, our insurance coordinators will check coverage and help maximize your benefits.
