Orthodontic care is designed to fit seamlessly into your life. You’ll slightly adjust a few things, like your oral hygiene routine and some foods to avoid, but overall, you’ll quickly get used to your braces or aligners, and soon they’ll feel like a natural part of your routine. Plus, the results are totally worth it!
Treatment time varies, but most people wear braces or aligners for 12 to 24 months. It depends on your unique needs, and Dr. Eckels will provide a personalized timeline. The good news is that each day brings you closer to the smile you’ve always wanted.
We won’t pretend this part of orthodontic care isn’t a little annoying. While clear aligners cause no food restrictions since you remove them to eat, having braces means you’ll need to avoid sticky or hard foods and a few other things including jerky, popcorn, and nuts. If all else fails, eat ice cream. Once your treatment is over, you’ll be able to enjoy your meals without restrictions.
Yes, absolutely! Braces can make oral hygiene a little trickier, so regular visits to your general dentist are important for maintaining overall oral health. Your dentist will continue to check for cavities, clean your teeth, and address any other dental needs, while Dr. Eckels focuses on straightening your smile.
