A straighter, healthier bite is possible with our traditional braces in Davie. Whether you’re an adult finally ready for your own perfect smile or a parent researching options for your teen, we know the process can seem like a lot of brackets and questions. At Grosman Orthodontics & Pediatric Dentistry, we take the confusion out of your orthodontic journey. Our team—including Dr. G, Dr. Maria, and Dr. Lizzy—starts every patient off with the info and support they need to feel confident about their next steps. Clear guidance. Real answers. Let’s dive into your top questions about braces, so you can focus on a future with a smile you love.
What Are Traditional Braces?
Traditional braces use a system of small brackets attached to each tooth, connected by a metal archwire, adjusted over time to guide teeth into place. Made from durable stainless steel, traditional braces are designed to treat mild crowding to complex bite concerns. For kids, teens, and adults in Davie, these braces remain the gold standard for reliable, effective tooth movement—you can count on consistent progress. At every stage, you’ll see changes, sometimes faster than you expect. Colorful bands for the kids or classic silver for adults—whatever your style, braces can work for you. We’ll review everything during your first appointment and answer every “what if?” along the way.
How Long Does Treatment With Traditional Braces in Davie Last?
Everyone asks this one. Our treatment with traditional braces in Davie usually takes anywhere from 18 to 36 months, depending on how much movement your teeth need. During your initial visit, Dr. G checks your bite and maps out a custom timeline for you or your child. Some patients see their new smile in less than two years, while others—especially those with more complicated bites—might need a bit longer. Keep in mind, visiting on time and following care instructions keeps treatment moving. Lost bracket? Broken wire? Life happens—just let us know so we can help keep your progress on track.
What Can I Expect During My Visits?
Routine visits for traditional braces are straightforward. At each appointment, Dr. G and our team will check your progress, make small adjustments to your archwire, and answer any new questions. These check-ins usually occur every 4-8 weeks and last about 20-30 minutes. Sometimes you’ll need X-rays or photos to track your results. You can expect:
- Gentle, precise adjustments to keep teeth moving
- Helpful tips for brushing around brackets
- Updates on your progress (and encouragement when you need it)
We work around school and work schedules—many of our patients from the Davie and Southwest Ranches area appreciate the flexibility.
Do Braces Hurt? What About Adjusting?
The big question: will it hurt? Most patients feel some soreness after getting braces or after an adjustment. Usually, it’s a dull ache or mild tightness for a few days, not sharp pain. Over-the-counter pain relief, soft foods, and a little patience go a long way. Kids bounce back quickly, and adults often say it’s less disruptive than they feared. Wax can help if the brackets irritate your cheeks. And remember, discomfort means teeth are moving—that’s progress! We’ll check in at every visit and keep you comfortable. If something feels off, a quick call keeps you on the right track.
Can Both Kids and Adults Get Braces in Davie?
Absolutely! Traditional braces are a proven solution for both children and adults in Davie and neighboring Southwest Ranches. Kids can start orthodontic treatment around age seven if Dr. G or our pediatric dentists spot early concerns, but plenty of adults get started later and achieve excellent results. It’s never “too late” to improve your smile—treatment is tailored to your age, needs, and goals. Adults often care about visibility and convenience; we respect your life outside our office and help you plan visits around work or family. Whatever your age, you’ll find understanding experts and flexible options here. All smiles are welcome.
