  • Can you sleep with rubber bands on your braces?

    Yes, wearing rubber bands during sleep is very important and it does not interfere with other activities like talking or eating. READ MORE

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

    Why do you think he is not getting them "in order", did a dentist or dental staff member tell you that. The textbook sequence of getting teeth is based on the general population and there can be exceptions - if the lack of order is due to teeth not forming that is a problem. At age nine a child usually has the four first molars, the upper and lower central and lateral incisors and may have the lower cuspids, upper cuspid usually erupt around 11 or 12 years of age.

  • Can I get braces for my upper teeth only?

    Fair question, sometimes correcting the alignment of the teeth requires an adjustment in the alignment of the opposing teeth. If the position of the upper teeth is changed to correct alignment the lower teeth may need some alteration in position. Additionally, to correct alignment of teeth you may need rubber bands and other auxillary attachments and the lower arch may need to be involved. READ MORE

  • How long does it take for teeth to set with retainers?

    If you promise not to change as you age you will not need retainers. HOWEVER, look at your parents and grandparents - did the color of their hair change, did they need different prescriptions in their eyewear as the aged. Everyone changes with age, can you wear the same clothes you wore when your were five. A retainer holds things static - it retains, you may not need to wear a retainer 24/7 but plan on keeping up with RETENTION. READ MORE
