Frequently Asked Questions...

Sure, I can help you with that! Here are the top 10 frequently asked questions about orthodontic treatment in North Las Vegas, along with their answers:

1. How long does orthodontic treatment usually take?
Orthodontic treatment duration can vary depending on the complexity of the case. On average, it takes about 18-24 months, but it's best to schedule a consultation with our North Las Vegas Orthodontic Group to get a personalized estimate.

2. What age is best to start orthodontic treatment?
Orthodontic treatment can be beneficial for patients of all ages. However, it's generally recommended to have an initial orthodontic evaluation around the age of 7 or 8 yrs old as some issues are easier to address at an early stage.

3. Will braces or aligners hurt?
It's common to experience some discomfort initially as your teeth and mouth adjust to braces or aligners. However, any discomfort is usually mild and temporary. Our North Las Vegas Orthodontic Group team will provide you with tips and guidance to manage any discomfort.

4. How much does orthodontic treatment cost?
The cost of orthodontic treatment varies depending on the specific needs of each patient. We offer a range of treatment options and flexible payment plans to make orthodontics affordable for everyone. Contact our North Las Vegas Orthodontic Group at (702) 329-3230 for a personalized cost estimate.

5. Can I still play sports or a musical instrument with braces?
Absolutely! While it may take a little adjustment, you can continue playing sports and musical instruments with braces. We can provide you with protective mouthguards if needed to ensure your comfort and safety.

6. Are there alternatives to traditional metal braces?
Yes, we offer a variety of orthodontic treatment options to suit different preferences and needs. These include clear aligners, ceramic braces, clear (invisible) and lingual braces. During your consultation with our North Las Vegas Orthodontic Group, we can discuss which option may be best for you.

7. Will I need to wear retainers after treatment?
Yes, wearing retainers is an essential part of maintaining the results achieved through orthodontic treatment. Retainers help to keep your teeth in their new position and prevent them from shifting. Our North Las Vegas Orthodontic Group will provide specific instructions tailored to your needs.
