In this guide, we’ll walk you through the pain-free steps involved in orthodontic treatment, making your journey to a beautiful smile a breeze.

Placement of Braces

The placement of braces is a pain-free procedure that typically takes about an hour. The entire process consists of using cheek retractors and thereby protecting the tissues for some surface chemical treatments that need to be performed for the bracket to stick to the teeth with glue. Next, arch wires are threaded through the brackets and secured in place. While you may feel some pressure during this process, it is generally not painful, and any discomfort can be managed with ease.

Routine Adjustments

Throughout your braces journey, you’ll be visiting our office periodically for routine adjustments. During these appointments, Dr. Patel will make small tweaks to your braces to gradually shift your teeth into their desired positions. While you may experience minor discomfort after adjustments, it is typically short-lived and easily managed with over-the-counter pain relievers or orthodontic wax.

Eating soft foods such as mashed potatoes and avoiding chewy, crunchy or sticky foods when a wire is inserted will keep your appliance intact and accelerate your tooth movement by allowing the teeth to stay stable so new bone can form around them.

Enjoying the Benefits

As your treatment progresses, you’ll start to see the exciting changes in your smile! With each passing month, your teeth will gradually align, resulting in a straighter, more confident smile. Best of all, the process is pain-free and well worth the investment in your oral health and self-esteem.
