What age should a child go to the orthodontist?

Children should come in for an initial evaluation around the age of 7. Most of the time, treatment isn’t needed at this age, but we’ll simply recommend ongoing monitoring. Other times, an orthodontic intervention can prevent further issues down the road by influencing proper jaw development.

What is airway-focused orthodontics?

In the past, the primary focus of orthodontics was straight teeth; now, we better understand the relationship between jaw position and the airway. Orthodontic care can be used to correct certain airway issues, and airway-focused orthodontists also take great care to ensure that the work they do does not negatively impact the airway.

How much does Invisalign cost?

The cost of Invisalign depends on the number of aligners you need and the duration of your treatment. We’ll provide you with an estimate during your consultation.

Can orthodontists do jaw surgery?

No, orthodontists do not perform jaw surgery, but we work with oral surgeons on treatment plans for patients who need jaw surgery. Typically, you will need braces both before and after your jaw is surgically repositioned.

Do braces change your face?

Yes, braces do change your face—but for the better! You’ll have an improved side profile and better facial symmetry once your orthodontic treatment is complete.

“I'd say the majority of people don't love going to the dentist or orthodontist or any doctor for that matter. But at Signature Orthodontics, I never experienced that with my child. She never put up a fuss about her appointments. Actually, it was just the opposite. With their rewards program, she was excited to show up, on time, and cash in her tokens for something fun.”
