Orthodontic FAQ
Braces are made up of 2 important parts: the bracket and the archwire. We will attach brackets to each of your teeth, and use the archwires throughout your treatment to gently position your teeth into a more preferred position.
While the beginning of your braces treatment can result in some uncomfortableness, it definitely doesn’t hurt! A little bit of over the counter tylenol or ibuprofen will knock any soreness you might have out.
We believe that getting the smile of your dreams shouldn’t result in stress, which is why we offer flexible payment plans. We will go over the cost of treatment in your complimentary consultation!
There are a couple of food restrictions when you have braces. Once you start treatment, Dr. Heinz will review all restrictions with you.

Yes, you definitely do! Your dentist will ensure that your teeth and gums are staying healthy during your orthodontic treatment.
I'm in sales and it matters to have a great smile. I got to meet Jeffrey Heinz personally at the Grand Rapids Office and talked with him and I said I don't care if he costs more! I had such a great experience and it felt like they really cared and cared enough to sit down and hear my desires for my smile. He was able to put together a plan that was a lot less invasive for my grandson too.
