Life with braces is essentially the same as life without braces - with the exception of eating certain foods!
Braces today are a lot more comfortable than they used to be, however, it is normal to have some soreness for a few days after each adjustment appointment.
It's ok to take a pain reliever if needed - whatever you would normally take for a headache will work to reduce the tenderness.
Biting into food (Corn on the cob, Apples, Raw Carrots) - It's ok to eat these foods if you cut them up first.

Invisalign Teen is an increasingly popular treatment option for adolescents.
This is a great option for any patient who may feel self-concious about visibly straightening the teeth with braces.
The barely-visible plastic aligners gradually straighten the teeth from their current position to a beautiful, straight smile.
With Invisalign Teen there are no food restrictions, a major bonus for all popcorn lovers!
Also, because they're removable, brushing/flossing is much easier compared to traditional braces.

For adults who want a straighter smile without the appearance of braces and wires, Invisalign is the ideal option.
These nearly invisible aligners are smooth and removable so they won't interfere with your daily life.
The series of clear plastic aligners are changed every 1-2 weeks to gradually straighten the teeth.
Also, because they're removable, your eating/brushing/flossing routine doesn't have to change.

For some patients, a healthy, balanced smile cannot be obtained with orthodontic treatment alone.
An underlying skeletal discrepancy may necessitate jaw surgery to acheive a stable result.
If this is the case, the pre-surgical orthodontic work-up can generally be done using either braces or Invisalign.
After Dr. Babb and the surgeon determine that the teeth are in an ideal position, the patient may proceed with surgery.
In most cases, braces or Invisalign will be utitlized for an additional 3-12 months for any post-surgical fine tuning that may be needed.
