Frequently Asked Questions

Do metal braces hurt?

Getting them on does not hurt. Teeth can feel sore for a few days after fitting and adjustments, which soft foods and mild pain relief ease.

How long do metal braces take?

Usually 12 to 24 months, depending on the case. Dr. Kotak gives an estimate at the consultation.

Can I choose the colours?

Yes. The elastic bands come in many colours and can be changed at each visit, which kids and teens enjoy.

Help Your Child Feel at Ease

If your child dreads the dentist, sedation can change that. Call us to talk through the options, often with a same-week appointment.
