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.
