Is functional appliances only for cosmetic reasons?
No. Orthodontic care can greatly improve the appearance of your smile, but it also supports better function and oral health over time.
How long will orthodontic treatment take?
Treatment length varies, but your orthodontic team will provide a clear estimate before you begin.
Is orthodontic treatment painful?
You may feel some pressure or soreness after adjustments or new aligners, but this is usually mild and temporary.
