How it works here

How an orthodontic plan is made

No treatment is decided before the scan, and no cost is a surprise after it.

  1. A digital scan

    An iTero scan instead of impression trays. You see the projected movement on screen before anything is decided.

  2. A plain answer on timing

    Plenty of seven-year-olds are told to check back in two years. We say so when waiting is the right call.

  3. A clear cost up front

    Benefits are checked before treatment starts, and you get a detailed quote at your consultation.

  4. Retention from day one

    The day the braces come off, retention starts. It is part of the plan, not an afterthought.

Pediatric dentistry at Elite

The pediatric dentist is down the hall

Elite is an orthodontic practice and a pediatric dental practice in one office on Berdan Avenue. For a family, that saves more than a drive.

  • Phase I decisions with the full picture

    For an early treatment decision, the orthodontist can read the x-rays and notes from your child’s pediatric check-ups in the same chart.

  • Cleanings carry on during braces

    Brackets make brushing harder, so regular cleanings matter more during treatment. For a child who is also a pediatric patient here, they happen down the hall.

Before you book

Questions families ask

At what age should my child first see an orthodontist?

Around seven, when the first adult molars and incisors are through. Most children who come at that age are told to check back in a year or two, and that is the right answer more often than treatment is.

How long does treatment usually take?

It depends entirely on what is being moved. You get an estimate at your consultation, and we tell you when the estimate changes rather than letting it drift.

Do braces hurt?

The fitting does not. The ache starts the following day, lasts a few days, and returns briefly after each adjustment. Ordinary painkillers handle it.

Can I have braces as an adult?

Yes. Teeth move at any age. Adult treatment is usually slower because there is no growth to work with, and gums and bone are checked carefully first.

Invisalign or braces?

Aligners suit mild to moderate cases and disciplined wearers. Fixed braces do more, more predictably, and do not depend on anyone remembering to put them back in.

What happens if I lose my retainer?

Call us straight away. Teeth begin to move within days, and replacing a retainer quickly is far cheaper than repeating treatment.
