How long will treatment take?
Every person has individual needs. And every person's teeth move at a different rate, making it difficult to give you a firm answer. Typically, treatment is 18-24 months. However, after your initial evaluation, Dr. Prices can discuss a schedule with you.

How often will I need to return for check-ups and adjustments?
Generally speaking, you can expect to come back every six to eight weeks.

How much does it cost?
Again, the cost varies depending on the extent of the treatment, but we should be able to provide you with an accurate estimate after your evaluation.

Do you treat TMJ?
Some cases of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders can be corrected with braces. We can determine the effectiveness of treatment after an initial exam.

Does a child need to have his/her permanent teeth before receiving treatment?
