Do you do orthodontics for teenagers and children or just adults?

We prefer that children and teenagers under the age of 16 be treated by the excellent orthodontic specialists in our area because treatment of the growing dental arches is more complex and should be comprehensive. We offer limited treatment to adults over 16 that want their visible front teeth to look straight but are not looking for lengthy comprehensive treatment including movement of molars etc.

How long does cosmetic orthodontic treatment take?

The duration of orthodontic treatment can vary depending on the severity of the dental issues, the individual's age, and the type of treatment used. On average, treatment takes 4 to 9 months.

Can orthodontic treatment be covered by insurance?

Many dental insurances have an orthodontic benefit, even for limited treatment of adults. We would be happy to check your plan for you to find out!

What is orthodontic treatment?

Orthodontic treatment involves the use of specialized dental appliances to gradually move teeth into their desired positions. The goal of orthodontic treatment is to correct dental issues such as overbites, underbites, crossbites, and crowded or gapped teeth. By doing so, orthodontic treatment improves the function and appearance of your teeth, making it easier to maintain good oral hygiene and reducing the risk of future dental problems.
Is orthodontic treatment painful?

It is common to experience some discomfort or soreness initially and after adjustments during orthodontic treatment. However, the level of pain is typically manageable and can be relieved with over-the-counter pain medication if needed. Any severe or persistent pain should be reported to the dentist.
What are clear aligners made of?

Clear aligners are made of a comfortable and durable medical-grade plastic that is custom-formed for your individual treatment.
