WHAT OUR PATIENTS ARE SAYING

I had such an awesome experience at this orthodontic office! From the moment I walked in, everyone was super friendly and made me feel totally comfortable. The TC was great really nice and explained everything in a way that made sense and the doctor was amazing! So easy to talk to, super knowledgeable, and just overall made the whole experience stress-free. I never felt rushed or pressured, which is rare these days. You can tell the whole team really cares about their patients. I’m so glad I chose this place 5/5 for sure!

WHAT OUR PATIENTS ARE SAYING

My son had his consultation appointment here today and he thoroughly enjoyed his visit. He was so nervous about the idea of getting braces but Dr. Park and Jasmine helped put his mind at ease. The office is so clean and beautiful and the staff is so kind and friendly. Just an all around great atmosphere and excellent customer service. He will be getting braces in February and will require visits every 4-6 weeks for a year and so a great atmosphere and great customer service is always a plus when you have to have frequent appointments.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I decide if braces or clear aligners are right choice for me?

Deciding between braces and clear aligners depends on several factors, including the complexity of your bite, the alignment of your teeth, and your personal preferences. Braces are often recommended for more complex cases or when precise tooth movement is needed, while clear aligners are ideal for mild to moderate alignment corrections and offer the benefit of being nearly invisible and removable. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your smile and discuss the advantages of each option so you can make an informed choice that works best for your lifestyle and treatment goals.

How long does orthodontic treatment usually take?

Treatment times vary, but most patients complete their course in 12–24 months. The exact duration depends on the type of treatment and how closely you follow the plan.

Are clear aligners as effective as braces?

Clear aligners are very effective for mild to moderate cases, while braces may be better for more complex alignment issues. We’ll help you determine which option fits your smile goals and needs.

What is the cost of treatment?

Costs vary based on treatment type and case complexity. We provide personalized estimates during your consultation and work with many insurance carriers to help make treatment more affordable.

Do braces or aligners hurt?

Some mild soreness is normal when treatment begins or after adjustments, but this usually fades within a few days. We’ll provide tips to keep you comfortable throughout your care.

How often will I need appointments?

Braces typically require visits every 4–8 weeks, while aligner check-ins may be slightly less frequent. These appointments allow us to monitor your progress and adjust treatment as needed.

Can I eat normally with braces or aligners?

Braces require avoiding sticky, hard, or chewy foods, but aligners are removable, allowing you to eat normally. Proper care ensures the best results for either option.

Will treatment affect my speech?

Most patients adjust quickly. Braces usually have minimal impact, while aligners may cause a slight temporary lisp that resolves within a few days.

How do I take care of my braces or aligners?

Good oral hygiene is essential. Braces need careful brushing and flossing, while aligners must be cleaned daily and worn consistently to be effective.

Do you treat patients of all ages?

Yes! We offer orthodontic treatment for kids, teens, and adults. Every plan is customized to your needs, ensuring effective and comfortable care.
