I forgot my retainer for 2.5 weeks will it still fit?
Possibly depending on how long you have gone thru treatment but some small changes or settling is normal. Try it and if its a bit tight wear it full time for a few weeks and see it the fit is good. If not get to your ortho asap. READ MORE
Braces
No. It will feel a bit intimidating to hear the pops but rest assured its safe and fast. Congrats!. READ MORE
Can I get braces for my upper teeth only?
Possibly only for esthetic alignment if there isn't anything major interfering with your bite. However the overall fees may not make a big difference. A lot of patients are under the impression that fees are based on the work and its not. Most Ortho's dont charge for consult go get checked!. READ MORE

My 9 year old son is getting his permanent teeth, but they are not in order. What should I do?
Its a good to take for an orthodontic evaluation. We see as early as 7 but Treatment is not always necessary unless its severe. However a lot of kids benefit greatly by Phase 1 or growth modification treatment. But dont worry the at this age crooked teeth is not a big deal. Its the overall growth and alignment that is important. READ MORE
numbness in lip
Hi You should go and see your orthodontist. Numbness wouldn't be a permanent thing based on what you are saying but it may just need to be seen to evaluate properly. Dont worry its not serious but dont ignore. good luck. READ MORE
I wear my retainer, so why are my teeth still shifting?
Either the retainer is not fitting or it may be worn off. We recommend new retainers every 1-2 yrs if they are clear types. The old plastic-with-wire retainers last longer, but they are not as effective preventing teeth from rotation. READ MORE
