Frequently Asked Questions

An orthodontist is a dental specialist who focuses on diagnosing, preventing, and treating dental and facial irregularities.While dentists manage overall oral health, orthodontists at Griffin Orthodontics specialize in “aligning” your bite and straightening teeth. We use advanced tools like iTero digital scanners and 3D-printed LightForce braces to move teeth into their ideal positions, improving both the function of your jaw and the aesthetics of your smile.

While there may be an initial adjustment period, braces should not significantly interfere with daily activities. Adults can continue to participate in sports, play musical instruments, and engage in other hobbies. It is recommended to wear a mouthguard during contact sports to protect the braces and teeth. Overall, with proper care and adjustments, braces should not hinder an active lifestyle

Absolutely! One of the most exciting parts for kids and teens getting braces is the ability to personalize their smile. We offer a wide variety of colored bands that can be swapped out at every adjustment appointment, typically every 4 to 8 weeks. Whether they want to represent their school colors, match a holiday theme, or just pick their favorite shades, Dr. Griffin and our team love helping patients express their personality through their orthodontic journey.

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a child have their first check-up by age 7. At this stage, we can monitor jaw growth and the transition from baby teeth to permanent teeth. Early evaluation at our Oak Creek or West Allis offices allows us to catch potential issues early, often making future treatment faster and less invasive.

Absolutely. We work with many local Milwaukee schools to find appointment times that minimize time away from the classroom. Many parents prefer starting treatment during a school break so their child has a few days to get used to the feel of braces, but we successfully start new smiles all year round.
