Frequently Asked Questions
Orthodontics FAQs
Orthodontic treatment creates straighter, healthier smiles while improving function and confidence. At Canyon Rim Dental, you’ll discover modern solutions that make achieving your perfect smile more comfortable and convenient than ever.
What orthodontic problems can be treated?
Orthodontics can correct numerous issues including crooked or crowded teeth, gaps between teeth, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites. These treatments not only improve your smile’s appearance but also enhance chewing function, speech clarity, and oral health. Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean and less prone to decay and gum disease.
Am I too old for orthodontic treatment?
You’re never too old for orthodontics! While many people associate braces with teenagers, adult orthodontic treatment is increasingly common and highly successful. Adult teeth can be moved at any age as long as your gums and supporting bone are healthy. Modern treatment options are also more discreet and comfortable than traditional methods.
What orthodontic options do you offer?
Canyon Rim Dental offers SureSmile® clear aligners as our primary orthodontic solution, providing a discreet and comfortable alternative to traditional braces. These custom-made aligners gradually move your teeth into proper position without metal brackets or wires. We’ll evaluate your specific needs to determine if you’re a good candidate for this innovative treatment.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
Treatment time varies depending on the complexity of your case, but most patients complete orthodontic treatment in 12-24 months. Simple cases may be finished in as little as 6-8 months, while more complex situations might take longer. SureSmile® technology often reduces treatment time compared to traditional methods through precise treatment planning and efficient tooth movement.
Will orthodontic treatment be painful?
Modern orthodontic treatment is much more comfortable than in the past. You may experience some initial discomfort or pressure when starting treatment or making adjustments, but this typically subsides within a few days. Clear aligners like SureSmile® tend to be more comfortable than traditional braces since there are no brackets or wires to irritate your mouth.
How much does orthodontic treatment cost?
Orthodontic costs vary based on the complexity of your case and type of treatment chosen. Many dental insurance plans provide partial coverage for orthodontics, and we offer flexible payment plans to make treatment affordable. During your consultation, we’ll provide detailed cost information and discuss financing options that fit your budget.
What are the benefits of straighter teeth?
Beyond the obvious aesthetic improvements, straighter teeth offer numerous health benefits. Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean effectively, reducing your risk of cavities and gum disease. Correct bite alignment can also relieve jaw pain, reduce excessive tooth wear, and improve speech and chewing function. Many patients also experience increased confidence and self-esteem.
How do I care for my teeth during orthodontic treatment?
Maintaining excellent oral hygiene during orthodontic treatment is crucial for healthy results. With clear aligners, you can remove them for eating and cleaning, making hygiene easier. Brush and floss regularly, clean your aligners as directed, and attend all scheduled appointments. We’ll provide specific care instructions based on your treatment type.
Can orthodontics fix my bite problems?
Yes! Orthodontics can correct various bite problems including overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites. These corrections not only improve your smile’s appearance but also enhance jaw function and reduce strain on your temporomandibular joints. Proper bite alignment can alleviate headaches, jaw pain, and excessive tooth wear.
What happens after my orthodontic treatment is complete?
After completing active treatment, you’ll need to wear retainers to maintain your new tooth positions. Initially, you may need to wear retainers full-time, then transition to nighttime-only wear. Retainers are crucial because teeth tend to shift back toward their original positions without proper retention. We’ll provide detailed instructions for retainer care and wear schedules.

After having a Tooth Extraction on the weekend, I returned later in the week for a note from the doctor for work release. I had realized that there are two Dental Businesses working within the facility, & contacting Weekend Dental wasn’t so straight forward. Kim, who was sitting at the front desk helped me immensely, as I was worried about if I’d receive a doctor’s note on time to return to work in a couple of hours. However, Kim went above & beyond to help, she used the knowledge & connections she has to get me in touch with the staff, to receive my doctors note in time to return to work. She is kind, & caring, after meeting Kim at Canyon Rim Dental im left only to believe that her team must share the same sentiment as her, to help people who come looking for it here. So thank you Kim, it made my day.
