FAQs About Braces in Southport
How long do braces take?
Typical averages: ~8 months for Ice Braces and ~12–14 months for Invisalign® — but your timeline depends on tooth movements, bite and goals. Correct case selection is crucial.
Do braces hurt?
You might feel pressure and tenderness for a few days after fitting or adjustments.
Which braces are the most discreet?
Clear aligners (Invisalign®/Spark) are removable and nearly invisible. Ice Braces use translucent brackets that blend with your teeth for a low-visibility fixed option.
How often will I need appointments?
With our Digital Monitoring approach, many patients attend fewer in-person visits — we’ll tailor your schedule to your treatment and lifestyle.
What happens after treatment?
You’ll receive both fixed and removable retainers to keep your result stable. We’ll advise on wear times and ongoing oral health routines.
