Overlapping teeth can trap plaque and bacteria, increasing the risk of cavities and gum disease.

Excess space can cause shifting over time and lead to bite misalignment.

When the upper teeth extend too far over the lower teeth, it can cause jaw strain and uneven wear.

A lower jaw that protrudes can make chewing and speaking more difficult.

Misalignment of upper and lower teeth can lead to abnormal tooth wear and potential gum recession.

When front teeth don’t touch, eating and speaking may become challenging.

The most common and durable option, metal braces efficiently correct even the most complex orthodontic cases.

Made from tooth-colored materials, these braces blend with your teeth for a more subtle appearance.

Designed to reduce friction and discomfort, these braces often require fewer adjustments and may shorten treatment time.

Led by Dr. Lindsey, our practice combines years of expertise with a commitment to individualized treatment.

We use the latest orthodontic techniques and innovations to ensure efficient, comfortable, and precise results.

Every smile is unique, which is why we create customized treatment solutions tailored to each patient’s needs.

As a trusted part of the Locust Grove community, we focus on delivering patient-centered care in a warm, welcoming environment.

We believe that affordable orthodontic care should be accessible to everyone, offering payment plans to fit your budget.

With short wait times, easy scheduling, and a caring staff, we make the braces journey smooth and stress-free.

Braces are most commonly recommended between the ages of 10 and 14, when permanent teeth have grown in, and the jaw is still developing. However, orthodontic treatment can be successful at any age, and many adults also benefit from braces.

The length of braces treatment varies based on the complexity of the case. On average, most patients wear braces for 12 to 24 months, but some cases may require a shorter or longer duration.

Braces don’t typically hurt, but you may experience mild discomfort after initial placement and adjustments. This usually fades within a few days and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers and soft foods.

The cost of braces depends on the type of braces chosen, the complexity of treatment, and the length of care. At Lindsey Orthodontics, we offer flexible payment plans and financing options to make treatment accessible.

Certain foods can damage braces or make cleaning difficult. Avoid sticky, chewy, or hard foods like caramel, gum, popcorn, and nuts. Opt for softer foods, especially after adjustments.

Brushing after every meal, flossing daily with orthodontic tools, and using an antimicrobial mouthwash can help keep braces and teeth clean. Regular checkups at Lindsey Orthodontics ensure that your treatment stays on track.

If a bracket becomes loose or a wire is poking, contact Lindsey Orthodontics as soon as possible for guidance or an appointment. Minor discomfort can often be managed at home with orthodontic wax until your visit.
