Braces FAQ
How long will my teen need to wear braces?
The duration of treatment varies depending on individual needs, but most teens wear braces for 18 to 24 months. Factors like the complexity of the case and how well the teen follows the orthodontist’s instructions will influence the treatment time.
Can my teen still play sports while wearing braces?
Yes, teens can continue playing sports while wearing braces. However, it’s recommended that they wear a mouthguard to protect their braces, teeth, and gums from injury during contact sports or physical activities.
What foods should my teen avoid while wearing braces?
To protect their braces, teens should avoid sticky, hard, or chewy foods like gum, caramel, popcorn, and hard candy. These foods can damage the brackets and wires, potentially extending treatment time.
Will braces be painful for my teen?
Teens may experience some discomfort, especially after getting braces adjusted, but this is usually temporary. Over-the-counter pain relief and eating softer foods for a few days can help ease the discomfort.
