F.A.Q

Will it hurt?

Most people don’t find orthodontic treatment painful. You might notice some pressure or tenderness when your braces or aligners are first fitted or adjusted, but this usually eases within a few days.

If you have any issues—such as a loose wire, bracket, or aligner concern—our team is available to advise you. We’ll let you know how to manage the problem at home and arrange an appointment if necessary.

Braces do need extra attention, but with the right toothbrushes, floss, and techniques, it quickly becomes second nature. We’ll show you how to keep your teeth and braces clean and healthy throughout treatment.

Invisalign is suitable for many patients, but the best way to know is through an assessment. During your consultation, we’ll check your teeth and bite, then recommend whether Invisalign or another option will achieve the best results.

Braces take a little time to adjust to, but soon become part of your routine. You can carry on with work, socializing, and hobbies with only small changes, such as avoiding certain foods or wearing a mouthguard for sports.

Orthodontic treatment often improves the balance of your features by aligning teeth and jaws, but the most noticeable difference is usually a more confident, straighter smile.

You got Options

Metal Braces

Proven Care from a Team You Can Rely On
Traditional braces have been a cornerstone of orthodontics for generations. As one of the most familiar and time-tested treatments, they continue to deliver reliable, effective results—guided by the expertise of a team you can trust.

Clear Braces

At Athens Orthodontic Center, we proudly offer clear ceramic braces to patients seeking a more discreet way to straighten their teeth. Also referred to as aesthetic, tooth-colored, or clear braces, this option functions just like traditional metal braces—without the noticeable metal look.

Lingual Braces

Lingual braces are a special type of braces that are placed behind your teeth instead of in front, so they stay completely hidden when you smile. They work just like regular braces but give you the benefit of being almost invisible.
