Orthodontist Services Ellicott City, MD

When looking for orthodontist services in Ellicott City, you need to think about experience, technology and patient care. At Level Orthodontics, we believe the best orthodontic care starts with knowing what each patient needs and wants. Our comprehensive approach ensures each patient gets individualized care that gets the best results while keeping them comfortable the whole time.

Orthodontic care is more than just straightening teeth. We do extensive exams that look at jaw alignment, bite patterns and overall oral health to build treatment plans that cover all aspects of orthodontic care. We take impressions, photos and digital scans on the first visit to make accurate treatment models so we can make recommendations.
We’ve changed the way we care for our patients with modern orthodontic technology. With digital imaging we can show patients exactly how their treatment will go and what the end result will look like before they even start. We can also use this technology to monitor progress and make changes to make treatment more effective.

Traditional braces are still great for complex orthodontic problems. Braces today are smaller, more comfortable and work faster than they used to. We choose bracket systems and wire materials that put gentle, steady pressure on teeth to move them into place. Regular checkups ensure treatment is on track and patient is comfortable.

Adults and teens are using clear aligner therapy to keep their treatment private more and more. Many orthodontic problems can be treated well with these removable devices and patients can still eat normally and keep up with their oral hygiene habits. We look at each case to see if clear aligners can get the results we want in the best way.

Some patients have complex problems that require orthodontists and oral surgeons to work together to treat. Surgical orthodontics deals with serious skeletal problems and jaw alignment problems that regular orthodontic treatment can’t fix on its own. This comprehensive approach brings together the knowledge of both fields to make functional and aesthetic improvements that orthodontics alone can’t make. Early intervention is key to stopping more severe orthodontic problems from getting worse. We recommend kids have their first orthodontic checkup by the time they are 7 years old when their permanent teeth start to come in. If we catch problems early we can help the jaw grow and the teeth come in so subsequent treatment may not be necessary.

As more people realize how important it is to have teeth in the right place, adult orthodontic services have grown. We know adults have different worries and lifestyles than younger people. Our treatment options work around busy schedules and professional needs while still getting great results that make you look and feel better.
Retention services ensure the results of orthodontic treatment stay the same after treatment is complete. To keep your teeth from moving back to their original position we make personalized retainers and give you clear instructions on how to wear them. Long term retention care includes regular exams to make sure the retainer fits properly and to make any necessary changes.

Emergency orthodontic services deal with problems that arise during treatment that need to be fixed right away. Problems with your appliance, broken brackets, loose wires or other issues may make you uncomfortable and slow down your treatment. We take care of these situations and give advice on how to handle small problems between appointments.

Families in Ellicott City can get orthodontic care with payment plans and help with insurance. We work with most insurance companies and offer flexible payment options so you can pay for treatment over time. Our administrative staff helps patients understand their benefits and get the most out of their insurance.
Investing in skilled orthodontic services does more than just make your teeth look better. Cleaning teeth that are in the right place is easy which reduces the risk of gum disease and decay. Fixing bite problems can help with jaw pain, headaches and tooth wear that’s not natural and can happen over time if you don’t get treatment.
You need to trust the orthodontist knows what they’re doing and cares about their patients when you choose them. We make sure every patient feels valued and supported throughout their treatment journey while upholding the highest standards of clinical competence.

We also service the following areas, Howard County, Columbia, Catonsville, Pikesville, Woodlawn, Elkridge, Jessup, Laurel, Fulton, Clarksville, Halethorpe and Hanover MD.
