There is more to orthodontics than just straightening teeth. We fix bite problems, get the jaw in the right place and create smiles that last a lifetime. Our comprehensive approach means each patient gets treatment tailored to their exact needs. We also believe everyone should be able to get good orthodontic care that fits their lifestyle and budget.

There are more options for modern orthodontic treatment than there were in the past. Traditional metal braces are still good for complicated cases and very bad alignments. We also offer clear aligners, ceramic braces and other innovative treatment options. Patients can get the results they want with these options and feel good about themselves during treatment.

Orthodontic treatment has many benefits beyond just making your teeth look better. Cleaning teeth in the right place is easy which reduces the risk of gum disease and tooth decay. Fixing bite problems can also help with jaw pain, stop teeth grinding and stop tooth surfaces from wearing down too quickly. After treatment we often see patients’ speech patterns improve and overall oral health improve.
Early orthodontic assessment is key to finding problems before they get worse. We recommend kids get their first orthodontic checkup by the time they are 7. This early intervention allows us to monitor dental development and fix problems before they get too big. Also fixing problems when you’re a kid usually takes less time and is easier than waiting till you’re an adult.

More and more people are realizing how important it is to take care of their teeth and gums which is why adult orthodontics is becoming more popular. Many of our adult patients want to improve their smile for work or personal reasons. Since the face structures are fully grown treatment for adults may take a little longer than treatment for kids. But the results are just as amazing and life changing for people of all ages. \Our Ellicott City location is the newest and has the latest orthodontic technology and equipment. We use digital imaging, 3D treatment planning and high-tech materials to ensure treatment is accurate and fast. These new technologies allow us to give patients more comfortable treatment and better results in less time.
A full consultation and exam is the first step in the orthodontic treatment process. We take full X-rays, pictures and impressions to get a full picture of how healthy your mouth is. Then we develop a treatment plan just for you that takes into account your concerns and goals. We monitor progress during treatment and make changes as needed to get the best results.

For many families looking for orthodontic care, payment options and insurance coverage are big factors.
