Advanced Orthodontics FAQs
- How do I know if I need advanced orthodontic treatment?
- You may benefit from advanced orthodontics if you have crowding, spacing, bite problems, or notice that your teeth do not fit together comfortably when you chew or speak. During your visit at Mint Dental Loft, we will examine your teeth, bite, and jaw and talk through whether orthodontic care could improve your comfort, function, or confidence.
- What is the difference between advanced orthodontics and traditional braces?
- Traditional braces use brackets and wires to move teeth, which can still be a helpful option in some cases. Advanced orthodontics adds modern planning tools and options—such as clear aligners, phased treatment, and customized retention—to create more precise, tailored, and often more discreet solutions.
- Are clear aligners an option for every patient?
- Clear aligners work well for many teens and adults, especially in mild to moderate cases of crowding or spacing. Some complex situations may still be better served with other orthodontic techniques. We will review your goals and your bite to recommend the approach that makes the most sense for your specific needs.
- How long does advanced orthodontic treatment usually take?
- Treatment time depends on your starting alignment, bite, and the type of plan recommended. Some patients see significant improvement in several months, while others need a longer timeline for safe, predictable tooth movement. Before beginning, we will share a realistic estimate and what you can do to help keep treatment on schedule.
- Will orthodontic treatment be uncomfortable?
- It is normal to feel some pressure or tenderness when teeth first start moving or when aligners are changed, but this usually fades after a few days. We design your plan to move teeth gradually and will offer tips to help manage any temporary soreness so you can stay as comfortable as possible.
- Can advanced orthodontics help with jaw discomfort or tooth wear?
- In some cases, improving the way your teeth fit together can reduce uneven wear and may help with certain types of jaw discomfort. During your evaluation, we will look at your bite and wear patterns and discuss whether orthodontic treatment could support your comfort and long-term tooth protection.
- Will insurance cover advanced orthodontic treatment?
- Some dental insurance plans include orthodontic benefits, especially for younger patients, and certain plans may also provide coverage for adult orthodontics. Our team can review your individual plan, estimate your out-of-pocket costs, and discuss payment or financing options before treatment begins.
- What if I had braces before and my teeth have shifted?
- It is very common for teeth to shift over time if retainers are lost or not worn consistently. Advanced orthodontic options, including clear aligners, can often be used to correct relapse and restore your smile. We will evaluate your current alignment and recommend a plan that focuses on both correction and better long-term retention.
