Got questions? We’ve got answers! Here are some of the most common inquiries our patients have. Click each question below to learn more.
For traditional braces, you’ll typically visit every 4-8 weeks. If you use clear aligners, you might need fewer check-ins. We’ll design the schedule that matches your treatment plan and make it easy for patients in and around Dyer.
We recommend a custom mouthguard designed to fit your braces and protect your teeth during sports. You can get it right here in Dyer at JH Family Orthodontics, which helps reduce the risk of damage or injury.
Sometimes, yes. If your teeth are progressing well and you’re a good candidate for aligners, Dr. Hedger may approve a transition. A quick evaluation determines whether switching is possible and safe.
Most people adjust within a day or two. Aligners may cause a slight lisp at first, and braces may feel bulky, but your speech quickly returns to normal as your mouth adapts.
Most patients say aligners feel gentler than braces because they don’t have wires or brackets. However, any orthodontic adjustment can cause light pressure or soreness that fades within a day or two.
