Does Orthodontics hurt?
How often do I need to have my braces adjusted?
The length of treatment depends upon the severity of the problem. 6 to 30 months is possible.
Many patients experience slight discomfort when their orthodontic appliances or braces are first fitted and again a day or two after each adjustment.
The complimentary brace care kit provided and mild analgesics will normally alleviate any inital problems you may have.

Adjustment visits, once the braces are fitted, are short appointments that occur 6 to 8 weeks apart. Dr. Penny uses the latest generation of wire technology in the practice, which allows fewer adjustments and greater comfort, while achieving superior results in the same or lesser time frame.
How much does the treatment cost?
Will I be able to talk when I have braces?
Yes. Braces should not interfere with the way you speak or the sound of your voice. In certain cases, your mouth may need to adjust if you have an appliance which could get in the way of your tongue. You may then have a little trouble speaking clearly for a day or two. However, your tongue will readjust and you will be able to talk like normal soon after.
Can I eat normally with braces?
Your teeth will feel a little tender for the first few days after treatment and you may wish to eat softer foods. You should be able to eat normally again in a matter of days but should be careful of the types of food you eat.

Do I have to visit my regular dentist during the period of Orthodontic treatment?
Definitely! It is important that you maintain regular check-up appointments with your general dentist during your treatment so that he can check your teeth for cavities and gum disease.
Will I need to have teeth removed?
In some cases teeth may need to be removed, in order to make enough room to fit crowded teeth into position. Fortunately, modern Orthodontics involves a much lower requirement to remove teeth. If you do require teeth removed as part of your treatment you will be given a letter for your dentist giving specific instructions on which teeth to remove.

How long will Orthodontic treatment take?
Early Orthodontic treatment is rarely indicated. In fact recent extensive reliable studies suggest that early or "two-phased" treatments may be more expensive, may prolong the overall treatment time and result in reduced patient co-operation leading to an inferior result.
The American Association of Orthodontics recommends an assessment at the age of 7 or 8 so that the few rare exceptions that do require early treatment can be identified and limited treatment provided to minimise discomfort for the child.
