We offer a range of orthodontic options to help ensure patients of all ages can get the treatment they need or want.
In some cases, your dentist recommends treatment to correct bite misalignment, treat TMJ, or reduce tooth wear. In other cases, patients choose orthodontics, such as braces or Invisalign®, to achieve their cosmetic smile goals.
In this blog, we explore the options and discuss a few costs to help you make an informed decision for your orthodontic care.
Getting Started with Orthodontics
The first step is a consultation in our dental clinic. This assessment helps determine the following:
- Whether you’re a candidate for treatment
- How long the treatment will last
- How much the treatment will cost
We also set aside plenty of time to answer any questions you might have.
Your Orthodontic Options Explained
Invisalign® in Avondale is a series of clear aligners worn over the teeth in succession. Typically, you wear your aligners for two weeks before moving to the next set. You can remove your aligners to eat and clean your teeth, so there are no eating restrictions. Invisalign is ideal for teens and adults with mild to moderate orthodontic issues.
Traditional braces are brackets secured to the teeth and threaded with guidewires. Your dentist adjusts these wires periodically to bring your teeth into straighter positions. Braces are ideal for kids with moderate to complex orthodontic issues.
After treatment, we provide a custom retainer to protect your new alignment. Be sure to wear your retainer as directed.
