A winning smile makes a good first impression, promotes self-esteem and is helpful in social and career success. Creating beautiful smiles is what we specialize in at King Orthodontics. And today, orthodontic treatment is simple, convenient and affordable for everyone from childhood through retirement — it’s never to late to get the smile you’ve always wanted — and improving your dental health can dramatically improve your overall health.

Teeth in correct alignment are easy to clean. That can make them more resistant to decay and less susceptible to gum disease. Alignment may also prevent teeth and jaw discomfort that can come from uneven wear.

Braces fit easily into today’s active lifestyles. They are comfortable, easy to keep clean and less visible than in the past. New techniques and materials can extend the period between appointments, saving time and expense.

Any age can be the “right age” for orthodontics. Early examination allows us to determine when your child’s problem should be treated for maximum improvement — in the least time and at the lowest cost.

Certain treatment techniques provide significant benefits for patients six to eleven years old. Treatment during these growth stages can achieve results not possible once face and jaw bones have finished growing.

Full orthodontic treatment with braces is generally begun after all of the permanent teeth are in place, usually at twelve or thirteen.

Adults now account for nearly 25 percent of orthodontic patients, and since today’s braces are less visible and treatment plans more convenient, adults of any age can enjoy the health and appearance improvements available through orthodontics.

Plus, most people can choose INVISALIGN treatment — it’s virtually invisible, doesn’t impact what you can eat, and often takes less time than traditional treatment.

Treatment time varies widely, usually between one and three years, depending on age, the patient’s cooperation and the severity of the case. An active partnership between our patient and staff is the best way to ensure quick and permanent success.

The amount of the investment you’ll need to make in your confident new smile depends on the type of treatment required. The good news is that, with or without insurance, King Orthodontics will find a way to make the treatment affordable by offering payment plans that stretch the cost out over the length of the treatment.
