Orthodontics for Children: Starting Early for Lifelong Benefits

Did you know that children as young as seven can benefit from an orthodontic evaluation? Early care allows us to identify potential concerns and guide your child’s teeth and jaw development for a healthier future. If early treatment is needed, it’s often completed in two phases:

Phase I orthodontic treatment, or early interceptive treatment, is designed to address dental and skeletal concerns in children who still have their baby teeth, typically between the ages of 7 and 10. Unlike comprehensive orthodontic treatment for teens and adults, which focuses on aligning all adult teeth and correcting bite issues, Phase I treatment intervenes early to help guide the proper growth and development of the jaws and teeth. This early approach can prevent more serious orthodontic problems from developing later on.

Starting around age 11, this aligns teeth for a straight, beautiful smile. Phase two focuses entirely on the permanent teeth. After your child loses their last baby tooth and their adult teeth have fully emerged, the orthodontist will assess their teeth to determine the best approach for completing their dental corrections.

Orthodontic Care for Adults: It’s Never Too Late

More and more adults are choosing orthodontic treatment to improve their oral health and boost their confidence. Whether you’re addressing long-standing bite issues or seeking a cosmetic upgrade, we have options to fit your lifestyle and needs.

We offer a variety of discreet and effective options for adults:

Invisalign

Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses clear, custom-made aligners to gradually straighten teeth without the need for traditional metal braces. These aligners are virtually invisible, comfortable, and removable, making it easier to eat, brush, and floss during treatment. Invisalign is a popular choice for both teens and adults looking for a discreet and flexible solution to correct misalignment and achieve a confident, beautiful smile.

Braces

Braces are a time-tested orthodontic treatment that use metal brackets and wires to gradually move teeth into better alignment. Ideal for addressing a variety of dental issues such as crooked teeth, gaps, and bite problems, braces provide a reliable and effective solution. While they are more visible than Invisalign, braces offer precision in correcting complex alignment issues and are suitable for patients of all ages. With consistent care and adjustments, braces help achieve a straighter, healthier smile over time.

Invisalign vs Braces: What’s Right for You?

Invisalign and braces are both effective orthodontic treatments, but they differ in their appearance, comfort, and treatment process.

Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners that gradually shift teeth into place, offering a discreet and comfortable option. They are ideal for patients who want a more subtle treatment and the flexibility to remove them for eating or cleaning.

On the other hand, traditional braces use metal brackets and wires to straighten teeth, providing a reliable solution for more complex dental issues. While braces are less discreet, they are highly effective for severe misalignments and are worn continuously throughout the treatment.

Both options aim to achieve a beautiful, healthy smile, but the choice depends on the patient’s preferences and dental needs.

Invisalign vs Braces: Considering the Cost

The cost of Invisalign and traditional braces can vary based on factors like the complexity and duration of treatment. While traditional braces tend to be more affordable than Invisalign, the price for both options depends on your individual needs.

When considering traditional braces, you can expect a treatment cost between $3,500 and $8,000, depending on length of your treatment, the complexity of your case, and the doctor providing your care.

At Springfield Lorton Dental Group, Invisalign treatment typically ranges from $4900-$8000. These fees can also vary depending on the length of treatment time, complexity of our case, and the doctor providing your care.
