While many patients welcome braces as a way to make their teeth straight and beautiful, they naturally want the treatment to go as quickly as possible. This is yet another advantage of today’s orthodontic innovations, since many of the materials used today result in far less mouth irritation and soreness. In years past, this resulted in prolonged treatment plans, forcing patients to endure additional discomfort. However, by focusing instead on patient comfort, modern orthodontics can be a much quicker process.
