3. Active Treatment Phase

Common FAQs About Orthodontics

At Mantena Dental & Implant Center, we are dedicated to utilizing the latest dental technologies to enhance your care and comfort.

What age should my child see an orthodontist?

We recommend age 7 for a first orthodontic exam. Early care helps guide jaw growth and create space for adult teeth.

How long does orthodontic treatment take?

Most treatments last 12–24 months, depending on the complexity and the chosen method (braces or aligners).

Is Invisalign as effective as braces?

Yes! For many patients, Invisalign is just as effective for correcting alignment issues. We’ll help you determine the best option for your needs.

Do orthodontics hurt?

Some discomfort is normal when adjusting to new braces or aligners, but it typically fades within a few days.

How do I care for my braces or aligners?

Good oral hygiene is essential. Brush and floss regularly, avoid sticky foods, and attend checkups as scheduled.
