Commonly Asked Questions Concerning Braces

What’s the Difference Between the 3 Mentioned Types of Braces?

Metal braces are the traditional type you’re probably most familiar with. They are also the least expensive option. Ceramic braces are similar, but they use clear or tooth-colored brackets to blend in with teeth better. Lingual braces are braces that go behind your teeth so they can’t be seen when you smile.

What Is the Best Age to Get Braces?

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.

How Long Must I Wear 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.

What Foods Should I Avoid With Braces?

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.
