  • How long does discomfort from braces last?

    Hello!!! Thank you for sharing your question. Your teeth are moving in your bone. This process requires your bone to become inflamed. Discomfort happens usually right after they are placed and any time they are adjusted, but can last up to 4 days. You can consider biting on something to produce pressure like a thick straw to help relieve the pain. This signals your pressure nerves to be activated to mask the activation of your pain nerves. Chamomile also helps reduce inflammation. It comes in the form of tea, dissolvable tablets, and granules. Make yourself some tea and relax. You are doing great! Be proud of yourself that you decided to go through orthodontic care. Good luck! Wishing you a good health :) READ MORE

  • Should underbite be corrected?

    What a great question! An underbite is considered a Class 3 jaw classification. It generally means that the top jaw that holds the upper teeth has not grown far enough forward. This can cause issues with breathing and sleep. Starting early treatment with orthodontics/orthopedics can help guide growth. You can look for a provider at Foundation for Airway Health:https://foundationforairwayhealth45.wildapricot.org/directory - I highly recommend finding a dentist/orthodontist/pediatric dentist on this website to do an evaluation. Early treatment can consist of an embrace appliance and/or an expander. This page is also a great resource to read before going in to see someone: https://airwayhealth.org/p/Getting-Help-p35751.asp.Manifesting that you find the right care for your family. Sending you love :) READ MORE
