Questions We'll Answer

At your consultation

Can my problem be treated with orthodontics?

We'll examine your teeth, bite and jaw and explain exactly what we see, what can be improved, and how.

Should treatment start now or later?

Some problems are best treated early while a child is growing. Others are better treated once all adult teeth are in. If it's not time yet, we'll monitor growth for free.

Which type of braces is right for me?

We'll walk you through metal, clear and self-ligating braces and Invisalign®, and recommend the best fit for your case and lifestyle.

How long will treatment take?

Most comprehensive treatment takes 12 to 30 months. You'll get a personal estimate at your visit.

What will it cost, and will insurance help?

You'll receive a clear, itemized estimate. We'll check your orthodontic benefits and explain payment plan options. Learn about cost and financing.
