Frequently Asked Questions
Why might orthodontic treatment be necessary for my overall health?
Braces and aligners enhance facial aesthetics, but they also serve a critical health function. They correct complex bite issues (like overbites, underbites, and crossbites), improve chewing and speaking functions, and prevent long-term dental problems such as uneven tooth wear and decay. Learn more about the overall health benefits of orthodontics in Salem, Oregon.
How do braces work to straighten teeth?
Braces work by bonding small brackets to the surface of each tooth and connecting them via a thin metal wire called an archwire. Through manual adjustments over time, the wire places gentle pressure on the teeth and jaw to gradually guide them into proper alignment. Discover the various bracket styles we offer on our page detailing types of braces.
Is orthodontic treatment at Castilla Orthodontics painful?
Placing appliances is completely painless. You may experience mild soreness or pressure for a few days after initial installation or tightening appointments, but over-the-counter anti-inflammatories are generally sufficient. Read our guide on tips for braces pain relief for practical comfort steps.
Do I need a referral from a dentist to book a consultation at Castilla Orthodontics?
No, a dental referral is not required! You can schedule an appointment directly with our team whenever you are ready to explore alignment options. You can prepare for your initial evaluation by reading our first orthodontic consultation guide.
