Age is not a factor for tooth straightening- both pediatric and adult patients can benefit from orthodontic treatment. However, factors including oral and overall health, bone density, and specific misalignment issues are taken into consideration. Your eligibility is determined through a comprehensive examination including imaging.
Teeth straightening is an investment in your appearance and oral and overall health and well-being. Some of these benefits include:
The process of teeth straightening depends on the needs of the patient and will be tailored to meet those needs. However, the first step in the process is the initial consultation which consists of a thorough examination including imaging as well as a discussion regarding the patient’s expectations.
On average, traditional braces range from around $3,000 to $7,000, while Invisalign ranges from around $4,000 to $8,000.
