FAQ
What do orthodontists do?
Why should I (or my loved ones) get orthodontic treatment?
There are two good reasons: aesthetics and function. Having an attractive smile not only changes the way people see you — it enhances your own self-image as well. Orthodontic treatment also allows your teeth to function better and makes it easier to keep them clean, which can improve your overall health.
When should orthodontic treatment be started?
You’re never too old to begin orthodontic treatment — but if you start at an earlier age, your problems may be easier to treat. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that a child who may need orthodontic treatment should come in for a first visit around age 7.
How can I recognize a potential bite problem?
Does getting braces hurt? What about wearing them?
How long will treatment take?
It’s different for each person, but generally the active stage of treatment (that is, wearing braces or other appliances) may take from 6-30 months. After that, a retainer is worn.
Invisalign®
Invisalign and Invisalign Teen are systems of virtually invisible aligners that can correct a variety of bite problems without traditional braces. Dr. Wilhite is a certified Premier Provider of Invisalign®, so you can rest assured that you are in capable hands while in her care!
