  • Will I ever need to get new post braces retainers?

    Yes, you may need to get new post-braces retainers over time. Retainers can wear out, become loose, or get lost. Additionally, if your teeth shift slightly, a new retainer may be needed to maintain alignment. 


    It's important to check your retainer regularly and replace it if it no longer fits properly or shows signs of wear. Your orthodontist can assess when a replacement is necessary. Call us for more information on braces for adults.

  • How often will I need to visit during treatment?

    Typically, patients visit every four to eight weeks for adjustments and progress checks. Call us to learn more about treatment for adult and childrens braces.

    Treatment time at Crystal Clear Orthodontics varies but typically lasts between 12 and 36 months, depending on the complexity of the case. For more information on braces for adults, call us today!

  • What are the benefits of orthodontic treatment?

    Benefits of using Invisalign and other orthodontic treatments include straighter teeth, improved bite, better oral hygiene, enhanced confidence, and reduced risk of dental problems.

  • At what age should my child see an orthodontist?

    The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an initial visit by age seven to assess potential alignment issues early. Contact us for more information on childrens braces.

  • How much does orthodontic treatment cost?

    Costs vary based on treatment type and complexity. Crystal Clear Orthodontics offers flexible payment plans for braces for adults and can discuss financing options during your visit.

  • Can adults get orthodontic treatment?

  • Can I still eat my favorite foods with braces?

    Some foods, like sticky, hard, or chewy items, should be avoided to prevent damage to braces. This is the case for braces for adults and for children!
