Common Questions About Orthodontic Treatment

When should my child first see an orthodontist?

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an initial orthodontic evaluation by age 7. Early assessment allows Dr. Quan to identify potential issues before they become more complex.

Is orthodontic treatment just for children and teenagers?

Absolutely not! About 25% of orthodontic patients are adults. With options like Invisalign® and ceramic braces, more adults than ever are achieving the straight, healthy smiles they’ve always wanted.

How long does orthodontic treatment take?

Treatment duration varies based on individual needs, typically ranging from 12-30 months. During your consultation, Dr. Quan will provide a personalized timeline for your specific case.

Will orthodontic treatment be painful?

Modern orthodontic techniques have significantly reduced discomfort. Patients typically experience mild soreness for a few days after adjustments, easily managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.

How do I know if I need orthodontic treatment?

Common signs include crowded or crooked teeth, gaps between teeth, difficulty chewing or biting, jaw pain, and breathing issues. Dr. Quan provides thorough evaluations to determine if treatment would be beneficial.
