  • Do braces damage teeth?

    The brackets ("braces") are attached to the teeth by a special bonding system and do not harm the teeth or the enamel. Generally speaking, any "damage" done to the teeth, gum tissue, or supporting bone is usually due to the patient's poor oral hygiene (brushing and flossing). In our practice, if we note this issue over several visits, we recommend stopping active treatment and removing the braces. READ MORE

  • Do metal braces work faster?

    Depending on the type of orthodontic corrections you may need, certain orthodontic appliances may be more effective than others.

  • My 9 year old son is getting his permanent teeth, but they are not in order. What should I do?

    My best advice for you and your son is to have a consultation with a reputable orthodontist, preferably one that is Board Certified (by the American Board of Orthodontics). The AAO (American Association of Orthodontists) recommends a first orthodontic consult around age 7, especially if there are any irregularities noted. READ MORE
