Frequently asked

Questions, answered.

When should my child first see an orthodontist?
Around age 7. Most kids won’t need treatment yet, but it’s the best time for a screening.
Am I too old for braces or aligners?
No. Healthy teeth and gums can be moved at any age. Many of our patients are in their 30s, 40s, and beyond.
Do you accept my insurance?
We accept most major insurance plans and will help you understand your coverage. If you’re unsure, give us a call.
How much does treatment cost?
It depends on the complexity of your case. We provide a clear estimate at your consultation and offer interest-free monthly payment plans.
How long does treatment take?
Most cases finish in 12–24 months. Some aligner cases finish sooner, and complex cases may take longer.
How often will I have appointments?
Roughly every 6–8 weeks for braces and aligner cases. Visits are short — most take 15–30 minutes.
Can I switch from braces to Invisalign mid-treatment?
In some cases, yes. We’ll review what’s right for your bite before recommending a switch.
