Does Getting Braces or Aligners Hurt?
Getting orthodontic treatment can be a bit intimidating, but the good news is that it’s not as painful as you might think. When you first get braces or a new orthodontic appliance, you might experience some discomfort or soreness as your teeth and mouth adjust. This is completely normal and usually only lasts for a few days. Over-the-counter pain relievers and orthodontic wax can help alleviate any initial discomfort. At Kendrick Orthodontics we have made treatments more comfortable than ever before. Remember, the temporary discomfort is worth it for the long-term benefit of a beautiful, healthy smile.
Transform Your Smile and More
A teen’s smile can play an important role in their self esteem during treatment. That’s the very reason newer technologies, like Invisalign treatment, invisible braces, lingual braces, and ceramic braces were developed to replace the old metal brackets of traditional braces.
Beyond the smile issue, a teen’s oral health is very important. With improved dental care from your teen’s orthodontist, your child will have a perfect smile, improved self confidence, and an improved bite.
