You may experience mild discomfort after braces are placed or adjusted, but this is temporary. Over-the-counter pain relievers and orthodontic wax can help alleviate any irritation.
Patients with braces typically visit our Alpharetta office every 6-8 weeks. These visits allow us to monitor your progress and make necessary adjustments.
Good oral hygiene is key to achieving the best results with metal braces. While wearing braces, it’s important to brush after every meal and floss daily to prevent staining or plaque buildup around the brackets. Our team will provide specialized “flossers” and detailed instructions to make this process easy and effective.
