  • What are the benefits of braces for children and adults?

    Braces improve oral health, align teeth for a better bite, and enhance smiles. At Ortho South, we provide braces for kids, teens, and adults, offering options that fit every stage of life and orthodontic need.

  • Are braces painful?

    While braces can cause mild discomfort during initial placement and adjustments, the sensation usually subsides after a few days. Ortho South provides tips and recommendations to make your experience as comfortable as possible.

  • What foods should I avoid while wearing braces?

  • How do I care for my teeth and braces?

    Brush and floss thoroughly after every meal using a soft-bristle toothbrush and floss threaders. Ortho South recommends using a water flosser or interdental brushes for easier cleaning around brackets and wires.

  • Are ceramic braces as effective as metal braces?

    Yes, ceramic braces are just as effective as metal braces but are less noticeable due to their clear or tooth-colored brackets. Ortho South offers ceramic braces for patients who want a discreet treatment option without compromising effectiveness.

  • How do braces work to straighten teeth?

    Braces use brackets and wires to apply gentle, continuous pressure on teeth, gradually shifting them into the correct position. Ortho South uses advanced orthodontic techniques to ensure safe and effective alignment.

    Yes, you can continue playing sports and instruments with braces. Ortho South recommends using a custom mouthguard for sports to protect your teeth and braces during physical activity.
