Henderson Orthodontists FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions...

Here are the top 10 frequently asked questions about orthodontic treatment in Henderson, along with their answers:

1. How long does orthodontic treatment usually take?
Orthodontic treatment duration varies depending on the individual case, but on average, it can range from 12 to 36 months. Our experienced orthodontists at Henderson Orthodontic Group will assess your specific needs and provide a more accurate estimate during your consultation.

2. What age is best to start orthodontic treatment?
Orthodontic treatment can be beneficial at any age, but the ideal time to start is usually during the early teenage years when most permanent teeth have erupted. However, we also offer orthodontic solutions for adults who wish to improve their smile.

3. Will orthodontic treatment be painful?
While you may experience some discomfort or soreness when braces or aligners are first applied or adjusted, it is usually temporary and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. Our team will provide you with tips and guidance to minimize any potential discomfort.

4. Are there alternatives to traditional metal braces?
Absolutely! At Henderson Orthodontic Group, we offer a variety of orthodontic treatment options, including clear aligners like Invisalign®, clear (invisible), lingual, and ceramic braces. These alternatives provide more discreet options for those who prefer a less noticeable appearance during treatment.

5. How much does orthodontic treatment cost?
The cost of orthodontic treatment depends on several factors, such as the complexity of your case and the chosen treatment option. During your initial consultation, we will provide you with a comprehensive treatment plan and a breakdown of the associated costs. We also offer flexible payment plans to make orthodontic care more affordable.

6. Can I still play sports or musical instruments with braces?
Yes, you can! While braces may require a short adjustment period, most patients can continue their regular activities with minimal disruption. We can provide you with protective mouthguards if you participate in contact sports to ensure your braces and teeth stay safe.

7. How often do I need to visit the orthodontist during treatment?
Typically, you will need to visit our office every 4 to 8 weeks for adjustments and progress checks. These visits are crucial for ensuring your treatment is progressing as planned and making any necessary adjustments to your braces or aligners.

8. Will I need to wear retainers after treatment?
Yes, wearing retainers after orthodontic treatment is essential to maintain the results achieved. Initially, you may need to wear them full-time, gradually transitioning to only nighttime wear. Our orthodontists will guide you on the recommended retainer usage to preserve your beautiful smile.

9. Can orthodontic treatment fix my bite issues?
Yes, orthodontic treatment can address various bite issues, such as overbites, underbites, and crossbites. Our skilled orthodontists will evaluate your specific case and recommend the most suitable treatment plan to correct your bite alignment.
