How long does orthodontic treatment take?

Treatment time varies by case complexity, your goals, and how consistently you follow instructions. Your dentist can give a personalized estimate after an evaluation.

Do I still need dental cleanings during braces?

Yes. Routine dental visits remain important during orthodontic treatment to keep gums healthy and catch problems early.

Treatments we can discuss

Explore the treatments in this category, what they are commonly used for, and when your dentist may recommend them.

Orthodontic Braces
Braces use gentle, controlled forces to align teeth and improve how your bite fits together. Your dentist evaluates gums, bone support, crowding, and jaw relationship before recommending whether braces or clear aligners suit you.
Often helpful for
- Crowded or spaced teeth
- Bite discomfort or uneven wear you want evaluated
- Teeth that have shifted after past orthodontic care
Your dentist will confirm whether this option fits your needs after an exam.
Retainers
Retainers hold teeth in position after active orthodontic treatment. Wearing them as directed helps protect the time and investment you put into straightening, because teeth can shift if retainers are skipped.
Often helpful for
- You recently finished braces or aligners
- You notice minor shifting and want guidance
- You lost or damaged a retainer and need a replacement evaluated
Your dentist will confirm whether this option fits your needs after an exam.
