Questions people ask us
Am I too old for braces?
No. Teeth move at any age as long as the gums and bone are healthy, and we treat adults as well as children.
How often are the adjustment visits?
About once a month, and each one usually takes 15 to 20 minutes.
Will I need a retainer?
Yes. Teeth tend to drift back after braces come off, and a retainer holds them in their new position. Dr. Ed will tell you how long to wear it.
Dr. Ed has cared for my family for about 25 years. Whether it has been emergency care, cosmetic work or braces, the quality of his work is outstanding.
