How Does Treatment Work?
Your individual problem requires a customized treatment plan based on a complete diagnosis of your case. That involves x-rays, dental impressions, and photographs. Orthodontic appliances can be made of clear material (plastic or ceramic), metal, or both. All corrective appliances have one goal: to use gentle pressure to move teeth into proper alignment.
Treatment Time
Treatment time varies widely, usually between one and three years, depending on age, the patient's cooperation, and the severity of the case. An active partnership between you and our staff-and your child if he or she is the patient-ensures the best results.
Costs
Costs vary depending on the type of treatment required. Many insurance plans cover a portion of the fees. When considering the cost of orthodontics, keep in mind the many benefits of a beautiful, healthy smile!
No one will deny the importance of a winning smile. It makes a pleasing appearance, promotes self-esteem, and is valuable to social and career success. Creating a beautiful smile is what orthodontics is all about. And today, orthodontic treatment is so simple, convenient, and affordable that individuals from childhood through retirement can reap its important benefits.
