Stride Custom Braces FAQs
What is the difference between Stride and traditional braces?
Traditional braces are one-size-fits-all. Stride braces are tailor-made for your teeth. As a result, Stride braces are more comfortable and require fewer adjustments.
How long will I have to wear Stride braces?
Teeth move at a certain biological speed, and no special type of braces can change that. But while traditional braces usually include extra, unnecessary movement, Stride braces move the teeth directly from point A to point B. This shortens treatment time nearly in half.
How often will I have to see an orthodontist while wearing Stride braces?
You’ll have appointments about every eight to 10 weeks. To put that in perspective, traditional braces usually require 12 to 14 visits over a 24-month period. With Stride braces, you can skip three to four of those visits, and your treatment time will be shorter.
How much do Stride braces cost?
Our Stride braces cost the same as traditional braces. We can give you a more exact pricing estimate at your consultation.
Do Stride braces work for teens?
Absolutely. With Stride, teens won’t have to miss as much school as they would with traditional braces.
Are there any restrictions on things I can eat while wearing Stride braces?
Will I need retainers after my Stride braces come off?
Yes. Full time retainer wear is essential for the first few months after getting your braces off. After that, you can wear your retainer at night for as long as you want to maintain your results.
