Q: How much will it cost and do you take my insurance?
A: We offer affordable treatment in the form of a low initial payment and low monthly payments. In most cases we do take your insurance. In our initial phone conversation we can let you know if your insurance is accepted in our office.

Q: How long will it take?
A: We won't know that until we do the initial exam and see what needs to be accomplished. In most normal cases you are looking at 24-27 months of active treatment, followed with retention.

Q: Will it hurt?
A: There are no shots and, in general our patients fly through treatment. After some appointments that include wire changes you might experience some soreness or discomfort. Aspirin or Tylenol or any other mild analgesic is all that is usually needed.

Q: Can my teeth be cleaned with braces?
A: Yes. We will show you the proper way to care for your teeth and new braces. You will, also, go back to your general dentist twice a year for regular cleanings and check ups. We will be sending a progress report to your general dentist twice a year to let him know of your progress.

Q: I work and my children go to school; what about appointments?
A: Many of our patients have the same problem. We have early 6:30 AM appointments and after school times. Most of the long appointments will need to be done in the morning or early afternoon. The short working appointments can normally be done in the later afternoon. Our scheduling coordinator will work with you to try to work appointments into both our schedules.
