Orthodontic Treatment Austin

We can say that most treatment begins when all of a patient’s primary teeth have grown in. At Mi Casa Family Dentistry and Orthodontics, we can help both teenagers and adults straighten their smile with braces.

That completely depends on the severity of your case and how much your teeth need to be shifted. During an orthodontic consultation, we’ll give you an estimate of your specific treatment time.

There are a few foods that you should avoid when undergoing orthodontic treatment with braces. Sticky foods such as gum, taffy or caramel should be avoided. It is also a good idea to limit your intake of harder to chew foods such as nuts, chips or bagels. Foods that can easily get stuck between your teeth when you bite down such as apples or corn on the cob can also affect your braces. Talk to one of our professionals at Mi Casa Family Dentistry & Orthodontics if you would like to know more about which foods you should and should not be eating.
