We’re planning to open in mid-2027. Join our email list for opening updates and notification when consultation scheduling becomes available.

Yes. Your initial consultation includes an orthodontic evaluation and any X-rays needed for that initial assessment, at no charge. We’ll discuss our findings, explain potential treatment options, and answer your questions. There is no obligation to begin treatment.

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. This visit allows an orthodontist to assess developing teeth, bite relationships, and jaw growth—even while baby teeth are still present.

No. An early evaluation may show that treatment is not needed yet. Depending on your child’s development, monitoring may be recommended. Early treatment is considered when a specific concern would benefit from being addressed while your child is still growing.

Yes. Adults may be candidates for braces or clear aligners. Your consultation will consider your goals, bite, and the health of your teeth and gums to determine which options may be appropriate.

The right option depends on your bite, the tooth movements needed, and your daily routine. During your consultation, we’ll discuss suitable options and explain their benefits, limitations, and care requirements.

Treatment time varies with the complexity of your case and the goals of treatment. Following an evaluation, we’ll explain your estimated timeline and the factors that may affect it. Progress and treatment timing are reviewed throughout care.

Orthodontic treatment generally ranges from approximately $3,000 to $8,000 before insurance benefits, depending on the type of treatment and the complexity of your case. Some cases may fall outside this range. Your personalized treatment fee will be determined and explained at your complimentary initial consultation.

Orthodontic treatment involves personalized planning, appliances, and ongoing professional care. Your treatment proposal will outline your fee, the services included, and any potential additional charges before you decide to begin.

Details about available payment arrangements will be shared closer to opening. Before starting treatment, you’ll have the opportunity to review your proposed fee, any initial payment requirements, and applicable payment terms.

Some dental plans include orthodontic benefits, while others do not. Coverage and eligibility depend on your policy and may include age restrictions, waiting periods, or lifetime limits. Information about our practice’s insurance participation will be available closer to opening.

HSA or FSA funds can generally be used for eligible orthodontic expenses that are not reimbursed by insurance. Check with your plan administrator to confirm eligibility, payment timing, documentation requirements, and applicable deadlines.

Retainers are an important part of maintaining your results after active treatment. Your orthodontist will recommend a retention plan based on your needs. Your treatment proposal will explain whether an initial set is included and how replacement retainers are handled.

Yes. Orthodontic care and treatment discussions will be available in English and Spanish so you can ask questions and understand your options in the language you prefer.

No. Joining our email list lets you receive practice updates and notification when scheduling becomes available. It does not book an appointment or obligate you to begin treatment.

Both care for your smile, but their training and focus differ. Orthodontists complete additional specialty training after dental school in tooth movement, bite alignment, and jaw development. Your general dentist continues to manage your overall dental health, while your orthodontist focuses on your alignment and bite.

You can request an orthodontic consultation directly, even without a referral from your dentist. If you plan to use insurance benefits, check whether your policy has any referral or authorization requirements.

Not necessarily. An evaluation while baby teeth are still present can help identify concerns with bite development, available space, or the eruption of permanent teeth. An evaluation does not automatically mean treatment is needed.

Phase 1 addresses selected concerns while a child still has a mix of baby and permanent teeth. Phase 2 typically takes place once most permanent teeth have erupted and focuses on overall alignment and bite correction. Not every child needs two phases of treatment.

The recommendation depends on the concern identified, the child’s dental development, and whether addressing it early offers a meaningful benefit. Some concerns warrant early treatment, while others can be monitored until a more appropriate time.

Yes. If you have noticed changes in your tooth alignment or bite since previous treatment, an evaluation can help determine what has changed and whether further treatment is appropriate. Recommendations depend on your current needs and goals.

Appointment frequency depends on your appliances, stage of treatment, and individual needs. Your orthodontist will explain the recommended schedule and adjust it as treatment progresses.

Yes. Orthodontic appointments do not replace dental checkups and cleanings. Your general dentist will recommend a schedule based on your oral health, while your orthodontist monitors tooth movement and bite correction.

In most cases, yes. An orthodontic mouthguard may be recommended for sports, and some instruments may require an adjustment period. Discuss your activities with your orthodontist so you can receive guidance appropriate for your appliances.

Consider specialty training, how clearly treatment recommendations are explained, the follow-up process, and whether the proposed care fits your needs. Ask about alternatives, fees, and what is included. A consultation should help you understand your choices and feel comfortable asking questions.

Not always. The cost depends on your orthodontic needs, the complexity of your case, and the scope of treatment. When both options are suitable, we’ll explain their costs and differences at your initial consultation so you can make an informed decision.

Orthodontic treatment generally ranges from approximately $3,000 to $8,000 before insurance benefits, depending on the type of treatment and the complexity of your case.
