COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers from our team about braces and Invisalign.
At what age should my child see an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an evaluation by age 7. Early assessment allows us to identify potential issues and plan the best timing for treatment.
What’s the difference between Invisalign and braces?
Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners for discreet treatment. Traditional braces use fixed brackets and wires. Both achieve excellent results — the best choice depends on your case and lifestyle.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
Most treatments take 12–24 months, depending on complexity. We’ll give you a personalized timeline during your consultation.
Do you offer payment plans for orthodontics?
Yes. We offer Cherry financing and flexible payment options to make orthodontic treatment accessible.
Can adults get braces or Invisalign?
Absolutely. Orthodontic treatment is effective at any age. Many of our adult patients choose Invisalign for its discretion and convenience.
