Orthodontic Treatments We Offer
Here is the range of care available, all in one practice.
Braces
Metal and ceramic braces remain the most dependable answer for crowding, spacing, and bite correction. If you are curious how the systems differ mechanically, our post on self-ligating versus traditional braces explains it without the marketing.
Invisalign & Invisalign Teen
Aligners suit patients who want treatment nobody comments on. They require discipline, since teeth only move while the trays are in. Invisalign Teen includes indicators that tell us honestly how wear is going.
Early (Phase 1) Treatment for Kids
Between ages 7 and 10 we can influence how the jaws develop, which is a window that closes. Early work is usually brief, and it often makes later treatment simpler. Can kids get Invisalign? answers a question we hear weekly.
Retainers & Post-Treatment Care
Retention is included in the plan we quote, not sold to you at the end. We fit the retainer, set the wear schedule, and keep an eye on the result at follow-up visits.
Orthodontic Care for Every Age: Children, Teens, and Adults
The right time to start depends on growth, hygiene, and what the bite is doing.
- Kids: braces for kids and interceptive appliances at the point they help most
- Teens: braces for teens or aligners around school and after-school jobs
- Adults: clear aligners for adults and ceramic braces, including relapse retreatment
Whole families are welcome in one visit. Tell the front desk when you book and we will stack the appointments.
What to Expect at Your Free Consultation
Every consultation is free and follows the same clear sequence:
- Arrive and check in. Forms can be finished online in advance.
- Exam and digital scan. A precise 3D record of your bite in minutes.
- Findings explained. On screen, with time for the questions you brought.
- Plan, timeline, and cost. Including exactly what insurance will contribute.
- Optional same-day start. Only when you are ready to move forward.
You leave with a written plan whether you start treatment or not.
Insurance, Financing & Affordability
Orthodontic benefits exist in most major dental plans, and we verify yours and handle the claims. In-house payment plans with low monthly options spread the balance across treatment, HSA and FSA funds are accepted, and the written estimate you receive at the consultation is final. If money is the obstacle, bring it up at the first visit rather than walking away.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I reach your office by public transit from New Carrollton?
Yes. Our Washington office on 13th Street NW is reachable by Metro and bus, and the Glenn Dale office is a short drive or rideshare out Route 450.
How much does an orthodontic consultation cost?
Nothing. The exam, photos, digital scan, and treatment discussion at your first visit are complimentary.
Will I need to see my regular dentist during treatment?
Yes, keep your cleanings on schedule. Braces make plaque harder to remove, so routine hygiene visits matter more during treatment, not less.
What if my child grinds their teeth?
Tell us at the consultation. Grinding affects both the treatment plan and the retainer we choose at the end.
How soon will I notice a difference?
Most patients see visible movement within four to eight weeks. Early changes are often the most dramatic part of the whole case.
