How much do braces cost?

Braces at Rodeo Dental typically range from $2,500 to $6,500 depending on complexity and type. We offer $0 down financing, low monthly payments, and accept most major insurance plans including Medicaid.

How long does braces treatment take?

Most patients wear braces for 12-24 months, though treatment time varies based on individual needs. During your free consultation, we'll provide a personalized timeline for your case.

Do you offer payment plans for braces?

Yes! We offer flexible financing with $0 down and low monthly payments. Our team will work with you to find a plan that fits your budget. We also accept Medicaid, CHIP, and most insurance.

What age is best for braces?

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an evaluation by age 7. However, braces work at any age — about 1 in 4 orthodontic patients today are adults. We treat kids, teens, and adults.

Does getting braces hurt?

Getting braces placed doesn't hurt, though you may feel some pressure. After placement and adjustments, mild soreness for a few days is normal. Over-the-counter pain relievers and soft foods help.

What's the difference between braces and clear aligners?

Braces use brackets and wires for precise control, ideal for complex cases. Clear aligners use removable trays for mild to moderate cases and offer more discretion. We'll recommend the best option during your free consult.

Q: Will I need a retainer after braces?

Yes! Retainers are essential to maintain your results. Most patients wear retainers full-time initially, then nightly long-term. Think of it as protecting your investment in a straight smile.

Frequently Asked Questions About Traditional Braces

What foods can't I eat with braces?

Avoid hard foods (ice, hard candy, popcorn kernels), sticky foods (caramel, taffy, gum), and biting into hard items (apples, corn on cob - cut them up instead). These can break brackets and wires.

How often do I need braces adjustments?

Typically every 4-6 weeks. Adjustments take about 15-30 minutes. This is when we tighten wires and make changes to keep your teeth moving toward their final positions.

What if a bracket or wire breaks?

Don't panic! Call us to schedule a repair. In the meantime, use orthodontic wax on poking wires. If a wire is really bothering you, you can carefully clip it with nail clippers as a temporary fix.

Will I need to wear a retainer after braces?

Yes! Retainers are essential to maintain your results. Teeth naturally want to shift back. Most patients wear retainers full-time initially, then nightly long-term. Think of it as protecting your investment.

Can I play sports with braces?

Absolutely! We recommend wearing a mouthguard to protect your braces and mouth. We can provide or recommend orthodontic-friendly mouthguards designed to fit over braces.

What foods can't I eat with braces?

Avoid hard foods (ice, hard candy, popcorn kernels), sticky foods (caramel, taffy, gum), and biting into hard items like apples or corn on the cob — cut them up instead.
