While you can still eat most of the foods you enjoy with braces, there are a few things you should avoid, such as hard or sticky foods that can damage your braces.

Braces are typically worn for 1-3 years depending on the complexity of the case and the age of the patient. However, the length of treatment can vary and will be determined by your orthodontist.

Invisalign is a type of orthodontic treatment that uses clear aligners to straighten your teeth. The aligners are virtually invisible and can be removed for eating and cleaning.

The length of Invisalign treatment varies depending on the individual case. Most people complete treatment within 12 to 18 months, but some cases may take longer.

Retainers are custom-made devices that are worn after orthodontic treatment to help keep your teeth in their new position. There are several types of retainers, including removable and fixed options.

There are three main types of retainers: removable, fixed, and clear. Removable retainers are made of plastic and can be easily removed for eating and brushing. Fixed retainers are a thin wire that is bonded to the back of your teeth. Clear retainers are similar to Invisalign aligners and are custom-made to fit your teeth.

Teeth whitening treatments use a bleaching agent to remove stains and discoloration from the teeth. This can be done through in-office treatments or with take-home kits that you can use on your own time.

Teeth whitening can last up to two years, but it depends on your lifestyle habits like drinking coffee, tea, or red wine, and smoking. You can maintain your results by avoiding stain-causing foods and drinks and practicing good oral hygiene.
