Orthodontic Treatment FAQ

What is early orthodontic treatment?

Early treatment, also known as Phase I, typically begins between the ages of 7 and 10 and focuses on correcting jaw growth, bite alignment, or crowding before all adult teeth have erupted. This approach can simplify later treatment or sometimes eliminate the need for it.

What is adolescent treatment?

Adolescent treatment usually begins once most permanent teeth have erupted, between ages of 11 and 16. At this stage, we can more easily correct bite issues and misaligned teeth. With options like clear braces and Invisalign®, teens can feel confident throughout the process. ​

What types of braces do you offer?

We provide a variety of orthodontic braces options to suit different needs and lifestyles, including:

  • Traditional metal braces
  • Ceramic (clear) braces
  • Invisalign® clear aligners​

Each option is tailored to ensure a comfortable and effective treatment.

Is orthodontic treatment available for adults?

Absolutely! Many adults choose to enhance their smiles with our discreet adult orthodontic options, including ceramic braces or Invisalign. It’s never too late to achieve the smile you’ve always wanted. ​

How does Invisalign® work?

Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, clear aligners to gradually move teeth into the desired position. The aligners are removable, making eating and oral hygiene more convenient. ​

What happens after my braces are removed?

After treatment, you’ll receive a custom retainer to help maintain your new smile. Wearing your retainer as instructed is crucial to prevent your teeth from shifting back. ​

Do you have programs to make treatment more engaging for kids?

Yes! Our incentive program rewards children for good oral hygiene and appliance care with tokens that can be exchanged for fun prizes. It’s our way of making orthodontic care enjoyable and motivating. ​
