Advanced Technology for Every Smile
We love using advanced technology to make your experience customized and comfortable.
- Traditional Metal Braces: Forget what you’ve seen in old movies. Our high-grade stainless steel braces feature a dynamic design that is smaller, smoother, and much more comfortable.

Quick Fixes for Your Appliance
If a wire pokes out or a bracket feels loose, you’ve got this. You can often use a clean pair of tweezers or even the back of a pencil eraser to gently push a wire back into place. Cover any bothersome spots with wax and give us a call so we can get you back on track.
Starting your journey to a brand-new smile is so exciting! While there are a few changes to get used to, we’re going to be right there with you every step of the way. Think of this as a fun new adventure: once you get the hang of it, you’ll be a pro in no time.
Your New Favorite Foods
For the first few days, your teeth might feel a little sensitive, so it’s the perfect time to treat yourself to some soft, delicious foods. We’re talking about creamy smoothies, fluffy scrambled eggs, warm soup, and even pasta. It’s a great excuse to get creative with your snacks while your smile is hard at work!
Strategic Snacking
To keep your treatment moving fast and your braces safe, we’ll want to avoid anything that could pop a bracket or bend a wire. Don’t worry, it’s only temporary.
- Sticky Stuff: Skip the caramel and taffy for now.
- The Big Crunch: Avoid chewing on ice or hard chips.
- Tough Treats: Instead of biting into a whole apple or corn on the cob, slice them up. You can still enjoy your favorites with a little extra intention.
Feeling at Ease
It’s totally normal to feel some general soreness for the first few days. It just means your teeth are starting to move into their new positions! To feel better fast, try a warm salt water rinse or an over-the-counter pain reliever.
Pro tip: If anything feels like it’s rubbing, just use a little bit of our dental wax to smooth things over.
What’s Up With Loose Teeth
Don’t be surprised if your teeth feel a little "wiggly," that’s actually the braces at work. For your teeth to find their new position, they have to move. They’ll settle in and feel stable again soon.
Braces Reviews
I have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Jones and his staff at Roanoke Valley Orthodontics. Every single person I encountered from the front desk to billing to everyone that touched my child’s mouth was genuine, professional, and knowledgeable of their specialty. Putting braces on your child is an investment that shouldn’t be taken lightly, but the care and service provided to us was worth every penny. I highly recommend!
Dr. Jones and his team have made this new braces thing a great experience so far!! I really value the friendliness and professionalism of both he and his team as well. If I have questions or issues with my braces they're quick to get me in and fix it and address any questions or concerns I've got. I still have questions with it being a new experience for me, but I know they will be there and help me through the whole time!! I can't wait to see the end result!!
Highly recommend Roanoke Valley Orthodontics! The orthodontist and the entire staff treated me incredibly well throughout my braces journey. They are highly professional, welcoming, and made sure I was comfortable at every single appointment. If you are looking for orthodontic care in the Roanoke area, this is the place to go!
