Why Fix Your Teeth Now?

Many people wait too long to fix their teeth. Here’s why you shouldn’t wait:

  • Eating shouldn’t hurt. If it does, your teeth might need fixing.
  • When you feel good about your smile, you feel better about yourself.
  • Teeth problems often get worse over time, not better.
  • Talking clearly is easier with well-aligned teeth.

 

Signs Your Teeth Need Help

Your mouth tells you when something’s wrong:

  • Pain when you bite or chew food
  • Waking up with a sore jaw
  • Not wanting to smile in pictures
  • Hard-to-clean spaces between crowded teeth

These signs mean it’s time to get help.

 

What Happens When You Get Your Teeth Fixed

 

1. First Visit: Orthodontist Consultation

We look at your teeth, talk about what bothers you, and show you how we can help.

 

2. Making Your Plan 

We create your own orthodontic treatment timeline that shows how we’ll fix your smile.

 

3. Fixing Your Smile

How long your orthodontic treatment timeline takes depends on your teeth:

  • Small fixes: 6-12 months
  • Medium fixes: 12-18 months
  • Big fixes: 18-30 months

 

4. Watching Your Progress

You’ll visit us every 4-8 weeks to check how your teeth are moving.

 

5. Keeping Your New Smile

After your main orthodontic treatment timeline ends, you’ll wear special guards to keep your teeth in place.

 

Two Ways to Fix Your Smile

Clear Aligners (Invisalign)

These clear plastic trays slowly move your teeth. You can take them out when you eat or brush. Most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them.

Invisalign cost: Understanding the investment in your Invisalign treatment involves considering the specifics of your dental needs, the anticipated treatment timeline, and the personalized guidance from our orthodontic specialist.

 

Traditional Braces

Small brackets and wires gently push your teeth into better spots. They work well for all types of teeth problems.

How much do braces cost? We are dedicated to ensuring that orthodontic treatment is within reach. Achieving a healthy and confident smile is possible through our accessible monthly payment plans. Contact us today for detailed payment information.
