How long does it take to get braces?

Typically, the actual process of sitting in the chair and having the braces put on your teeth is completed in 35 minutes. Afterwards, we will spend quite a bit of time with you explaining how to care for them, how to clean them.

So, the appointment that we schedule for you is longer than 45 minutes, but part of that is coaching you and explaining what is happening during the process. And although we are not in a hurry, the actual visit is shorter than you anticipate. Orthodontist hwy 280

What Are Braces?

Let’s say you have some crooked teeth, and you’ve heard of these things called braces. What are braces? We apply a device termed dental braces and wires with an adhesive to your teeth which repositions them into a more favorable position. This creates an aesthetic smile by having teeth properly aligned.

Your teeth will fit and function better in the posterior of your mouth better too. Teeth that function and fit together well will survive together well. Common issues like the ability to keep your teeth clean, or their ability to withstand wear from chewing & possibly grinding, etc. can be improved by having your teeth properly aligned.
