Frequently asked questions
Orthodontics — Common Questions
What is the difference between braces and Invisalign?
Traditional braces use metal brackets and wires to move teeth and are fixed in place. Invisalign uses a series of clear removable plastic aligners. Braces are generally more effective for complex cases; Invisalign offers more discretion and removability for mild to moderate alignment issues.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
Treatment time varies widely. Minor corrections with clear aligners may take 6–12 months. Full braces treatment typically takes 18–36 months depending on the severity of the case.
At what age should children see an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first evaluation by age 7. Early treatment (Phase 1) can guide jaw development; most comprehensive treatment begins between ages 11–14 after most permanent teeth have erupted.
Does insurance cover orthodontics?
Many dental insurance plans include an orthodontic benefit, typically $1,000–$2,000 lifetime maximum, often restricted to patients under 18. Adult orthodontics is sometimes covered but at lower rates.
