Who Needs Braces?
Braces are suitable for a variety of orthodontic concerns, including:

- Gaps between teeth
- Overbites, underbites, or crossbites
- Jaw misalignment
We also welcome younger patients through our Children’s Dentistry services, where early intervention can lead to simpler treatments later in life.
The Braces Treatment Process
- Consultation: We begin with a full oral exam, digital X-rays, and a bite analysis to determine your needs.
- Customized Plan: Your dentist will recommend the best type of braces and outline your treatment timeline.
- Application: Braces are carefully applied in our Stone Mountain office during a single visit.
- Adjustments: Periodic visits allow us to monitor progress and make necessary adjustments.
- Retention: Once your teeth are aligned, you’ll receive a retainer to maintain the results.
Technology That Enhances Treatment

FAQs
- How long do I have to wear braces?: Most patients complete treatment within 12 to 24 months, though timing varies based on individual cases and the type of braces used.
- Are braces painful?: Mild soreness is normal during the first few days after braces are applied or adjusted, but it typically subsides quickly.
- What foods should I avoid while wearing braces?: Stay away from sticky, chewy, or hard foods like gum, caramel, and nuts that could damage wires or brackets.
- Can adults get braces at your office?: Yes. We regularly treat adult patients with traditional braces, clear aligners, and Invisalign options designed for discreet correction.
- What makes Fastbraces different?: Fastbraces are designed to move both the crown and root of the tooth at the same time, which can reduce total treatment time significantly—sometimes to under a year.
