Why Orthodontic Treatment Matters
There’s more to orthodontics than straight teeth. Good alignment makes brushing and flossing easier, eases strain on the jaw joints, and helps head off uneven wear or fractures over time. A balanced smile also makes speaking, chewing, and grinning feel more natural.
- Healthier Bite & Jaw Function Even alignment spreads biting forces more evenly and can quiet jaw discomfort.
- Easier Daily Cleaning Straight teeth are simpler to brush and floss, lowering your risk of cavities and gum disease.
- Confidence at Any Age Today’s discreet options help teens and adults feel at ease both during treatment and after.
- Customized Treatment Plans Your timeline, goals, and comfort all shape the orthodontic plan we build.

The short answer
Orthodontics is the area of dentistry that moves teeth into better alignment and improves how the upper and lower teeth come together, treating crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, crossbites and rotated teeth. Treatment begins with an exam of your teeth, bite and jaw position and digital imaging and X-rays, followed by regular visits to adjust appliances and check progress. Good alignment makes brushing and flossing easier, spreads biting forces more evenly and eases strain on the jaw joints.
Orthodontics: Frequently Asked Questions
- What orthodontic problems can you treat?
- Orthodontics can treat crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and teeth that are rotated or out of place. Your dentist looks closely at how your teeth and jaws come together. That way the treatment recommended improves both your smile and your bite.
- How long does orthodontic treatment usually take?
- Most orthodontic treatment runs from several months to a couple of years, though every case is different. The timeline depends on how complex your case is, how your teeth respond, and how closely you keep up with home care and appointments. You’ll get a personalized estimate at your consultation.
- Is orthodontic treatment painful?
- You may feel pressure or mild soreness at the start of orthodontic treatment or after adjustments, and it usually eases within a few days. That pressure is a normal part of teeth being moved. Your dentist will show you simple ways to stay comfortable and tailor your care to keep discomfort to a minimum.
- Am I too old for orthodontics?
- No, you are not too old for orthodontics, and plenty of today’s patients are adults. As long as your teeth and gums are healthy, orthodontics can work at nearly any age. Your dentist will check your oral health and talk through the treatments suited to your needs and lifestyle.
- How much does orthodontic treatment cost?
- The cost of orthodontic treatment depends on the type of treatment and the complexity of your case. At your visit you’ll receive a clear estimate before you begin. Your insurance benefits are reviewed and payment options explained so you know exactly what to expect.
- Will my dental insurance cover orthodontics?
- Some dental plans include orthodontic benefits, often for children and teens and sometimes for adults. The office is in network with Delta Dental and accepts many other plans, and benefits vary from plan to plan. The team will help you review your coverage, submit any needed claims and make the most of your benefits.
- How often will I need to come in for orthodontic visits?
- Most orthodontic patients come in every few weeks. Those visits are used to adjust appliances, check progress and make sure teeth are moving safely. Appointments are kept efficient and set at convenient times so they fit into your routine.
