Learn MoreStill have some questions or concerns? Get them answered before you take the next step and make an appointment with Hinsdale Ortho. Here are some common questions that patients have about orthodontics.
A: While an orthodontic visit can be helpful at any age, consider scheduling a visit when your child is around 7 years old. This is a good age because most kids have lost a few baby teeth by this time, yet they haven’t grown in many adult teeth. They are also growing in their first set of adult molars behind any remaining baby teeth. Since there are both baby teeth and adult teeth present, it gives the orthodontist a good indication of how the adult teeth will grow in once the baby teeth have been lost.
A: The most common types of braces include traditional metal braces, clear braces, ceramic braces, and self-ligating braces (Damon braces). Clear aligners like Invisalign and Spark may also be an option.
A: The treatment period will vary from person to person. For minor cases, six months may be enough. For complex cases, expect to wear your braces for 2-3 years. Your Hinsdale orthodontist can give you a better idea of what to expect.
A: Braces can be hard to get used to at first, but after a few days, you should be able to acclimate just fine. Playing a sport or instrument may feel a little weird at first, but it should not stop you from living your life. Mouthguards can be used to protect your mouth when playing sports.
