Straight teeth contribute to healthy oral hygiene and may alleviate or prevent physical health problems. An attractive smile is a wonderful asset to have.

For some patients, Invisalign^® is an appropriate alternative to braces. Many patients enjoy the convenience of the removable aligners, which allow patients to continue enjoying their favorite foods and social activities.

Braces gradually align teeth with gentle forces that are applied to them with an interaction of brackets, archwires, and elastics.

The cost of orthodontic treatment depends on the type of treatments needed. To help you arrange payment for your orthodontics, Dr. Ewing will help you formulate a payment plan that will work for you.

The length of treatment varies, depending on the complexity of the orthodontics problem, generally ranging from 18 to 24 months.

You can prevent tooth decay and staining with proper oral hygiene throughout treatment. We recommend regular dental checkups with your general dentist every six months.

While orthodontic treatment takes some getting used to, you can still participate in your normal daily activities. However special orthodontic mouth guards are recommended for contact sports.

The results of your orthodontic treatment can last for years. Wearing your retainer as directed is crucial to keeping your smile for life.
