Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions About Orthodontic Treatment
What age should my child first see an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an initial orthodontic evaluation by age 7. This allows us to detect early problems and intervene when treatment is most effective. Many children will not need early treatment, but an evaluation ensures we can monitor development and begin at the optimal time.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
Treatment time varies depending on the complexity of your case. Most comprehensive orthodontic treatment takes 12 to 24 months. Simple cases may be completed in less time, while more complex cases may require additional months. Dr. Taylor will provide you with a personalized treatment timeline at your consultation.
What is the difference between braces and clear aligners?
Traditional braces use metal brackets bonded to the teeth with archwires to move teeth into alignment. Clear aligners use a series of clear, removable plastic trays. Both are effective — the best choice depends on your specific orthodontic needs, lifestyle, and aesthetic preferences. Dr. Taylor will help you decide which option is best for you.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes! We believe cost should never stand in the way of receiving the treatment you deserve. We accept several forms of insurance, offer flexible in-house payment plans, and can discuss financing options. We will review your financial options during your complimentary consultation.
Is the initial consultation free?
Yes — your first visit to Suffolk Braces is a complimentary consultation. During this appointment, Dr. Taylor will examine your teeth and jaws, take any necessary diagnostic records, discuss treatment options, and provide a personalized treatment plan with transparent pricing.
Can adults get braces?
Absolutely! More adults are choosing orthodontic treatment than ever before. Adults who straighten their teeth significantly decrease their risk for tooth decay, gum disease, bone loss, and TMJ disorders. We offer clear aligners for adults who prefer a less visible treatment.
What happens after my braces come off?
Once your braces are removed, you will need to wear a retainer to maintain your new smile. Without retention, teeth can shift back to their original positions over time. We offer both bonded (permanent) and removable retainer options and will help you choose what works best for your lifestyle.
Do you offer emergency orthodontic care?
Yes — if you experience a true orthodontic emergency such as severe pain, trauma, or a broken appliance, please contact our office immediately. For common issues like a poking wire or loose bracket, we can often provide guidance over the phone to help you manage until your next appointment.
