Signs You May Benefit from Orthodontic Treatment
The earlier crowding or bite issues are addressed, the simpler and often faster treatment can be.
- Crowded, overlapping, or crooked teeth
- Noticeable gaps or spacing between teeth
- An overbite, underbite, or crossbite
- Difficulty biting, chewing, or speaking clearly
- Jaw clicking, popping, or soreness
- Teeth that have shifted with age
- Self-consciousness about your smile in photos or conversations
Types of Orthodontic Treatment We Provide
Every smile is different, which is why we offer more than one path to straighter teeth. Depending on your goals, age, and the complexity of your case, treatment generally falls into one of these categories:
Invisalign clear aligners
A series of custom, virtually invisible aligners that gradually shift teeth into place — popular with teens and adults who want discreet treatment that fits an active lifestyle.
Traditional braces
Metal or ceramic brackets and wires, ideal for more complex bite corrections or cases requiring precise, continuous control of tooth movement.
Early / interceptive orthodontics for kids
Guiding jaw growth and tooth eruption in younger patients can prevent more involved treatment later.
Retainers and post-treatment care
Once your teeth reach their new positions, custom retainers keep them there for the long run.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Will it hurt?
Some pressure or mild soreness for a few days after adjustments or a new set of aligners is normal, but orthodontic treatment is not a painful process day-to-day.
How long does treatment take?
Timelines vary by case — simple alignment can take as little as a few months, while more complex bites may take a year or more. We'll give you a realistic estimate at your consultation.
Clear aligners or braces — which is right for me?
It depends on your bite, lifestyle, and preferences. During your consultation, Dr. Athar will recommend the option best suited to your specific case.
Is orthodontic treatment covered by insurance?
Many plans offer partial coverage for orthodontics. We verify your benefits before treatment begins so you know your costs upfront.
What if I don't have insurance?
We offer flexible financing through Cherry, CareCredit, and HFD, so cost doesn't have to stand between you and a straighter smile.
At what age should my child see an orthodontist?
Most orthodontists, including our team, recommend an initial evaluation by age 7. Early screening helps catch bite and jaw growth issues while they're easiest to guide, even if active treatment doesn't start right away.
