Braces used to be a rite of passage among teenagers, but modern orthodontics can help people of all ages get the healthy smile they desire. Kids should see an orthodontist around age 7 for an evaluation so that they can begin any necessary treatment at the ideal time. We pride ourselves on being a dentist for the whole family. We specialize in kids treatments, but also service our adult patients with expertise.
Experience the joy of smiling now, pay-over-time with Sunbit. Get approved easily with fair rates and no hidden fees. We welcome Medicaid patients in all of our offices and treat all of our patients with the same high level of care.
We also accept cash, credit cards, and CareCredit. We also have a discount dental plan that pays for itself in one visit. Telling your child that they have a consultation with an orthodontist can send them into a panic, so it might help ease that anxiety by explaining what to expect. In many cases, your child can start treatment the same day as the consultation, as long as everybody is comfortable with the plan.
Keeping these appointments is a critical part of the treatment plan because we can identify any issues or make adjustments to keep on track. Typically, orthodontic treatment plans take anywhere from 16 to 24 months. Dental insurance may cover some of the cost of braces, and we accept most plans, including Medicaid. You could also join our discount dental plan to save on orthodontic treatment for your child.
The world of orthodontics has come a long way over the years. Plus, clear aligners have revolutionized orthodontics by creating a nearly invisible, removable treatment option. Your orthodontist can make the best recommendation for your child based on their individual needs. Some kids may also require orthodontic appliances to complete the treatment. Other orthodontic appliances help with teeth grinding, spacing, and jaw alignment.
