Frequently Asked Questions
At what age should my child start seeing an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends all children be evaluated by age 7. Berkeley Family Orthodontics typically evaluates patients when 6-year molars emerge (ages 6–8)
Why should I check my kids’ teeth with an orthodontist in Berkeley, CA?
Starting kids on early orthodontics helps identify bite problems and jaw development issues before they become more severe. Consult with Asana Ortho today to get clarity on your kids’ oral hygiene
Is there an age limit for orthodontic treatment in Berkeley?
It is never too late to get started on braces or clear aligners. Whether it’s braces for your kids or adult orthodontics, you can always take better care of your teeth, and an Orthodontist like Dr. Nourah can help with that
How long will my first orthodontic visit take?
Typically 30–60 minutes, depending on your needs. At Asana Ortho we take care to go through with a thorough consultation before suggesting any treatment.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
Most patients wear braces or aligners for 1-3 years (6-30 months).
Will getting braces hurt?
Getting braces placed is generally painless, but you may feel soreness for a few days after placement or adjustments.
If the soreness persists, please give us a call, or mail us at [email protected]
How often do I need to visit my orthodontist during treatment?
Typically every 4-10 weeks (most commonly every 6-10 weeks).
Can Invisalign fix overbites, underbites, and other bite problems?
Yes, Invisalign can help with bite correction, since symptoms like overbites, underbites, and crossbites happen due to misalignment. Invisalign helps correct this, by rectifying spacing, and crowding issues.
Will Invisalign affect my speech?
Yes, Invisalign can cause a slight lisp or change in speech at the beginning, but for most people it’s mild and improves within a few days as your tongue adapts.
If the soreness persists, please give us a call, or mail us at [email protected].
Can I eat and drink while wearing Invisalign?
It is generally a good practice to remove your clear aligners when eating and when drinking anything other than water.
How often do I need to visit my Invisalign provider?
At Asana Ortho, most Invisalign patients are seen roughly every 6–8 weeks so we can check progress. In some cases, Dr. Nourah may adjust this schedule slightly or use virtual check‑ins to keep your visits as convenient as possible.
What is Invisalign and how does it work?
Invisalign uses clear aligners to gradually move teeth into ideal positions, discreetly correcting misalignment without metal braces.
Is Invisalign effective for adults?
Adult Invisalign is increasingly common, and very effective for adults. With options designed for adults including clear aligners and ceramic braces, you can confidently wear them outside and fit them around your lifestyle.
How long does Invisalign treatment take in Berkeley?
Most Invisalign cases take 12-18 months.
How much does Invisalign cost in Berkeley?
Invisalign providers in Berkeley commonly charge between $4,000 and $10,000, depending on case complexity, treatment length, and insurance coverage. For a more accurate cost customized to your oral hygiene, contact Asana Ortho today.
At $4,000 you can receive purely aesthetic corrections. Functional changes that affect chewing, joint pain, airway and breath require more comprehensive treatment and typically costs more.
The cost of treatment is not tied to the number of aligners, and depends purely based on clinician proficiency, case complexity, and insurance coverage.
Does Berkeley have orthodontists with affordable braces payment plans?
Asana Ortho has flexible payment plans that work for everyone. We’re just 10 minutes away from Berkeley, and offer some of the most affordable orthodontic help without sacrificing on quality healthcare that you deserve.
Do I need to wear a retainer after braces or Invisalign?
Yes, retainers help keep the teeth in shape even after you remove your braces or aligners. This is to prevent your teeth from moving back to their original position over time, which can tend to happen in certain cases.
What foods should I avoid with braces?
Avoid very hard, sticky, or chewy foods that could damage the braces. Berkeley cuisine typically involves a lot of seafood, so we’d advise to be wary of stray bones or shells. Flaky fish, soft shrimps, steamed crabs – all very good options. Crab legs straight from the shell? Not a very good recommendation.
Can I play sports with braces or Invisalign?
You can most definitely wear braces or aligners or Invisalign while playing sports. Modern orthodontic treatment is built to work around your lifestyle. Asana Ortho excels at this, making sure that your life and your child’s schedule comes first.
