FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

At what age should my child first see an orthodontist?

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an initial evaluation by age 7. This allows us to identify potential issues early and plan for the ideal treatment timing.

How long does orthodontic treatment typically take?

Treatment duration varies by case, but most patients complete their treatment within 12–24 months. Your orthodontist will provide a personalized timeline during your consultation.

Does Invisalign work as well as braces?

Invisalign is highly effective for a wide range of alignment issues. While traditional braces remain the best option for some complex cases, Invisalign can achieve excellent results for most patients with the advantage of being removable and nearly invisible.

Is orthodontic treatment painful?

You may experience mild discomfort for a few days after adjustments or when starting a new aligner set. This is normal and typically managed with over-the-counter pain relief. Most patients find the discomfort very manageable.

Do I need a referral from my dentist?

No referral is needed. You can schedule a complimentary consultation directly with our practice. We work closely with your general dentist to ensure coordinated care.

How much does orthodontic treatment cost?

Treatment costs vary based on the complexity and duration of care. We offer flexible payment plans and accept most dental insurance. Your consultation includes a full financial breakdown with no surprises.
