Braces, retainers, and everything else that you want to know about orthodontics!
You've just heard the three words that every teen dreads: “YOU NEED BRACES!”
Braces! What now?
Don't worry! Braces aren't nearly as scary as you may think. In fact, braces today come in a variety of styles, materials, and colors, making life with braces much easier, more comfortable, and even more stylish than in the past.
How Long Will I Have to Wear Braces?
The amount of time it takes to treat your smile with braces depends on three key factors:
- Early treatment — Early treatment allows orthodontists to monitor the growth of the jaw and recommend further orthodontic treatment if it becomes necessary. Not everybody receives early orthodontic treatment, and in some cases it may be recommended that a patient wait until they are older to receive treatment.
- What needs correction — The amount of treatment needed to correct a problem will determine how long the process takes. Different patients react to treatments differently, so while it may take one patient only 12 months to complete their treatment, it may take another patient 24 months. Treatment times can vary depending on how quickly your body responds and how much work is needed to give you the show-stopping smile you expect.
- YOU! — Your willingness to use the appliances your orthodontist gives you plays a major role in the length of time it takes to complete your treatment. Always remember to take care of your braces and appliances; this truly will help make your treatment shorter!

I love the energy and they make you feel like family!
Excellent experience! They made us feel welcome from the moment I called. My son now has braces and we couldn’t be happier with how well everything was explained and how knowledgeable the staff is.
Update. Received a follow up call and managed to get a better understanding of the process. They work really hard to maintain customer satisfaction and good service as well. I’m happy to say Dr. Mcmillian has a great team and I’ll keep smiling big because of them!
I loved this orthodontist a lot! They helped improve my babies smile and they have never failed us. I recommend them to everyone. 10/10
Very nice and professional!
