FAQ

Questions, answered

What age should my child have their first orthodontic evaluation?
The Canadian Association of Orthodontists recommends children have their first orthodontic assessment by age 7. Early evaluation allows us to identify potential issues and determine the optimal timing for treatment, though not all children will need immediate intervention.
How long does orthodontic treatment typically take?
Treatment duration varies based on individual needs, but most cases range from 12 to 24 months. Factors include the complexity of your case, the type of treatment chosen, and how well you follow care instructions. We'll provide a personalized timeline during your consultation.
Do you offer payment plans for orthodontic treatment?
Yes, we offer flexible payment plans to make orthodontic care affordable for every family. We accept insurance, provide direct billing, and offer interest-free financing options. Our treatment coordinator will work with you to create a payment plan that fits your budget.
What's the difference between braces and Invisalign?
Traditional braces use brackets and wires to move teeth and are highly effective for complex cases. Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners that are nearly invisible and allow you to eat and brush normally. Both are excellent options—we'll recommend the best choice based on your specific orthodontic needs and lifestyle.
How often will I need to come in for appointments?
Most patients visit us every 6-8 weeks for adjustments and progress checks. These appointments typically take 15-30 minutes. We schedule appointments at times convenient for your family, including after-school hours and select Saturdays.
Will braces or Invisalign hurt?
You may experience mild discomfort for a few days after getting braces or starting new Invisalign aligners as your teeth begin to move. This is normal and manageable with over-the-counter pain relief. Most patients adjust quickly, and any discomfort is temporary and well worth the beautiful results.
