Dr. Steven A. Fischman is a dentist and has answered some common questions that Bizymoms visitors have about Braces.
Q. Can one be too old for braces?
A. No, we treat patients of all ages. Anyone who wants to look and feel better is a candidate for braces.
Q. How much do braces cost?
A. Treatment cost varies widely depending on the treatment plan that is recommended. Each patient is assessed individually and fees will be based on their treatment needs.
Q. When will one begin to see changes in his or her teeth after the braces are put on?
A. Changes will occur almost immediately, but treatment takes many months to complete in most cases. The average patient is in treatment for approximately two years.
Q. Will one need to have teeth extracted for braces?
A. Extraction of teeth is indicated in certain cases, however, it is not as common as it used to be and Dr. Fischman tries very hard not to have to remove teeth.
Q. How long will it take to complete the treatment?
A. Each patient is assessed individually and treatment will be based on their treatment needs. Treatment duration varies widely depending on the treatment plan that is recommended.
Q. Can a person wear braces even though that person may have crowns and missing teeth?
A. Yes, patients with existing dental work or missing teeth can be treated as easily as patients without any dental work.
Q. How can I prevent my child from being embarrassed by wearing braces?
A. This is not a problem for most children, as braces are very common. We have a variety of choices in colors and style that make children enjoy the look of their braces.
