Dentists have used metal braces to treat orthodontic issues for years thanks to their reliable and versatile design.

Invisalign® is an innovative orthodontic solution designed to straighten teeth without sacrificing your smile’s appearance.

If left unchecked, these issues can lead to painful complications. Consult with your dentist to learn if orthodontic treatment is best suited for your needs.
Orthodontic treatment is crucial for teeth and jaw health. Untreated orthodontic issues can result in poor oral hygiene, toothaches, jaw pain, and even difficulty chewing and speaking. Don’t let these problems get in the way of your daily life. Talk to your dentist about orthodontic treatment with braces or Invisalign® to begin the journey to a healthy smile.
It’s normal to experience mild soreness in the first few weeks of orthodontic treatment. Slight discomfort is to be expected as you grow used to your orthodontic appliance. However, if the pain persists or becomes unbearable, it may indicate a problem. Schedule an appointment with your dentist immediately if this is the case.
Insurance coverage for orthodontic appliances depends on your treatment. Most providers will cover a portion of the cost of braces, but treatments like Invisalign may be deemed cosmetic, and won’t be covered. Contact your dental insurance provider to learn more about your plan’s benefits.
