What is Orthodontics?
Orthodontics includes various types of treatments that focus on moving teeth into better positions and improving how your bite fits together. People often seek treatment due to overcrowding in the mouth, tooth spaces or gaps, uneven tooth wear, or misalignment of the jaw and teeth, making eating and chewing difficult.
Find Your Best Option
| Concern | Often a Good Fit |
|---|---|
| Teeth look crowded or overlap | Traditional braces |
| You prefer a less noticeable option | Clear aligners |
| Gaps between teeth | Orthodontic spacing treatment |
| Bite feels uneven when you chew | Bite correction with braces or aligners |
| Teeth have shifted over time | Short-term alignment treatment |
Your Treatment Journey
- Consultation and evaluation. We discuss how you want to improve your smile, perform a thorough exam, checking for tooth alignment, growth, spacing, and overall tooth health. X-rays are taken to view what is below the gumline.
- Personalized treatment plan. A detailed description of all phases of your orthodontic therapy including duration, alternatives/options available at each phase, and what to expect at each point throughout the process.
- Treatment. The use of either traditional braces or clear aligners to direct your teeth into the proper position with regular follow-ups to monitor your overall progress.
- Follow-up. Once active orthodontic treatment has concluded, a retainer will be used to maintain your teeth in the newly corrected positions.
Costs and Coverage
Orthodontic treatment fees depend on the type of treatment you choose as well as the duration of your treatment. Insurance will typically pay for a portion of orthodontic services. Our office team will compare your coverage to the treatment needed and provide you with a coverage and out of pocket estimate prior to beginning treatment. We will also give you information on financing options.
