Frequently Asked Questions

What types of orthodontic treatments do you offer?

We provide a variety of orthodontic treatments including traditional braces, Invisalign for both adults and teens, early orthodontics for children, and cosmetic dentistry options to enhance your smile.

How can I determine if my child needs early orthodontic treatment?

Early orthodontic evaluations are crucial. Signs that may indicate the need for early treatment include difficulty chewing or biting, thumb sucking beyond age 5, and noticeable gaps between teeth. We recommend scheduling an evaluation by age 7 for a comprehensive assessment.

Is Invisalign suitable for all ages?

Yes, Invisalign is designed for both adults and teens. Our Invisalign Teen option includes features specifically tailored for younger patients, ensuring effective treatment while accommodating their unique dental needs as they grow.

What should I expect during my first orthodontic consultation?

During your initial consultation, we will conduct a thorough examination of your teeth and jaw alignment, discuss your concerns and goals, and create a personalized treatment plan. This visit typically includes digital imaging and may take about an hour.

How often will I need to come in for adjustments during treatment?

For most orthodontic treatments, appointments for adjustments are scheduled every 4 to 8 weeks. However, this frequency may vary based on your specific treatment plan and progress. We’ll keep you informed throughout the process!
