FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Everything you need to know about orthodontics
At what age should orthodontic treatment start?
A first evaluation is recommended at age 7, when the first permanent teeth are already present. Interceptive orthodontics at this stage can prevent bigger problems. Full treatment usually begins between ages 11 and 14. Adults can also be treated at any age.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
Duration varies with the complexity of the case. In general, treatments range from 12 to 30 months. Simple cases with aligners can be resolved in less time, while skeletal corrections or complex cases may require more.
Does orthodontic treatment hurt?
It is normal to feel discomfort or pressure during the first days after each adjustment. This feeling usually disappears in 2 or 3 days and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. Over time the body adapts and discomfort decreases noticeably.
Can I get orthodontic treatment as an adult?
Absolutely! There is no age limit for orthodontics. More and more adults are choosing to align their smile. Clear aligners are especially popular among adults for their discretion and comfort. The most important thing is to have healthy gums and bone.
When are retainers necessary?
Retainers are essential at the end of any orthodontic treatment. They keep the teeth in their new position while the bone consolidates. Initially they are worn continuously and later only at night. Correct use prevents relapse.
Are financing options available?
Yes. We offer personalized payment plans that adapt to your budget. Our team will advise you on the available options during your evaluation consultation.
