If you are wondering whether braces hurt, most patients experience mild soreness for the first two to three days rather than severe pain.

Think of getting braces like trying a new workout. You feel it most at the beginning.

When braces first start applying pressure, some soreness for the first two to three days is completely expected. As your mouth adjusts, that discomfort typically fades and the teeth begin doing exactly what we want them to do: move.

So, do braces hurt? A little soreness, yes. Severe pain, no.

Have questions about what to expect with braces? Give our office a call or schedule a complimentary consultation today. Keep on Smilin’!

If you are wondering why your child should see an orthodontist around age 7, one of the biggest reasons is that some problems are easier to correct before more space is lost.

In this case, baby teeth were lost prematurely and space was already being lost for the permanent teeth underneath. Because it was identified early, we were able to regain that space and create a better path for the adult teeth to come in.

An evaluation around age 7 does not automatically mean braces. It gives us the chance to watch development closely and step in when timing can truly make a difference.

If your child is around age 7 and has not had an orthodontic evaluation yet, this is a great time to schedule one.

Teeth can look fairly straight from the front and still not fit together the way they should.

If you are wondering whether straight teeth can still have a bite problem, the answer is yes.

When we evaluate a smile, we also look at the bite, jaw growth, available space, and where the permanent teeth are erupting.

Straight teeth matter. A healthy, stable bite matters just as much.

Schedule a complimentary evaluation today. Keep on Smilin'!

There is something special about seeing a familiar last name on the schedule and realizing we once treated their parents or even their grandparents.

LaHaye Orthodontics has had the privilege of caring for generations of families. Some patients now bring in their own children, while others return with stories and memories from their own time in treatment. For families looking for an experienced orthodontist in Thibodaux or Houma, LaHaye Orthodontics has cared for South Louisiana smiles since 1973.

That kind of trust is never something we take for granted. It is a legacy we are proud to carry forward with every new smile that walks through our doors.

Ready to start your family’s next generation of smiles? Give us a call to schedule a complimentary consultation.

Keep on Smilin’!

If you are wondering whether your child needs braces right away, an orthodontic evaluation can help determine whether treatment is needed now or whether growth and permanent tooth eruption should simply be monitored.

An orthodontic evaluation does not always end with braces.

Sometimes a concern needs to be addressed now. Other times, the right answer is to monitor growth, available space, and the eruption of permanent teeth.

Our goal is not to start treatment as soon as possible. It is to recommend the right treatment at the right time.

If you are wondering what your child needs, schedule a complimentary evaluation today!

An underbite is one of the bite problems we do not always want to simply watch as a child grows.

When the lower teeth sit in front of the upper teeth, the lower jaw may continue to outpace the upper jaw as growth continues. In certain cases, addressing that relationship early gives us an opportunity to guide the bite into a better position while a child is still developing.

The goal is not to put every 7 or 8 year old in braces. It is to recognize the cases where timing can make a meaningful difference and potentially help avoid a more complicated correction later.

Have questions about how your child's teeth are developing? Give us a call to schedule a complimentary consultation. Keep on Smilin'!

Braces or clear aligners for your child? The better question is: what does their treatment actually need?

Clear aligners can be a great option for certain tooth movements, but more complex cases may need the added control braces can provide, especially when we are correcting the bite or moving the roots of the teeth.

That is why we do not choose an appliance based on what is most popular. We look at how the teeth are positioned, how the bite fits together, and what needs to change to recommend the treatment option that gives us the best control.

If you are wondering whether braces or Invisalign are the better option for your child, give our office a call today.

Keep on Smilin'!
