How do I get started with orthodontic treatment?

The first step is to schedule a complimentary consultation at one of our three locations. During this initial visit, our orthodontists will evaluate your teeth and jaw, discuss your goals, and recommend treatment options tailored to your specific needs. We also offer virtual assessments if you'd like to get started from the comfort of your home.

Do you treat patients who speak Spanish?

Yes! We have Spanish-speaking team members at our offices to ensure all patients receive clear communication about their treatment options. We're committed to making every patient feel comfortable and well-informed throughout their orthodontic journey.

How much does orthodontic treatment cost?

The cost of treatment depends on your specific needs, including the complexity of your case, treatment type, and expected duration. During your complimentary consultation, we'll provide a detailed estimate tailored to your individual treatment plan. We offer flexible payment options to make orthodontic care accessible to everyone, and many insurance plans provide coverage for orthodontic treatment.

What insurance plans do you accept?

We work with most major insurance providers that include orthodontic benefits. Our team has specialists in place to help you maximize your orthodontic benefits and can perform a complimentary benefits check. We'll verify your coverage before treatment begins and help submit claims on your behalf. For more information, visit our financing and insurance page.

How long does orthodontic treatment typically take?

Treatment time varies based on individual needs and the complexity of your case. On average: Comprehensive orthodontic treatment with braces typically takes 18-24 months; Invisalign® treatment often ranges from 6-18 months, depending on complexity; Early intervention treatment for children varies widely based on specific needs. During your consultation, we'll provide a more accurate estimate of your expected treatment duration.

Can I see before and after photos of your patients?

Yes! We're proud of the results we achieve for our patients. Visit our before and after gallery to see examples of the transformations we've created. These photos showcase various treatment types and orthodontic conditions we've successfully addressed.

What if I have an orthodontic emergency?

If you experience an orthodontic emergency, such as a broken bracket or wire, contact our office promptly. In many cases, we can provide guidance over the phone for temporary relief until you can be seen in our office. For guidance on handling common orthodontic issues, visit our broken braces page.
