Q: How much do you charge for orthodontic services?
A: "We’re essentially in the middle when it comes to price. Our goal is to perform high-quality work, which entails the use of quality products and fair compensation for our staff. That being said, our cost-effective approach to treatment can be a significant factor when it comes to managing your budget."
Q: How long does a typical orthodontic treatment last?
A: "Every case is a little different, but most treatments take between six months and three years. We’ve done our own analysis and found that our time estimation is usually about 80 percent accurate (with a two-month margin of error)."
Q: How often will I need to come in for adjustments?
A: "Adjustments are usually scheduled every six to eight weeks. We also encourage our patients to continue seeing their regular dentists every six months, depending on their particular situations."
Q: What are the advantages of Invisalign® braces over regular braces?
A: "Most of our patients prefer Invisalign braces because they’re less conspicuous and more comfortable than traditional braces. People can eat anything they want, and it’s a lot easier to maintain with brushing and flossing. About 80 percent of the people who come into our offices choose Invisalign."
Q: Why can you offer Invisalign services when other orthodontists can’t?
A: "We have a lot of experience when it comes to Invisalign—we’re a Premier Elite Invisalign provider and we’ve completed more than 1,000 Invisalign treatments since 2000. We understand how to work within the Invisalign system to straighten teeth as effectively as possible."
Q: Will I feel any pain and discomfort from your orthodontic work?
A: "We’re very gentle with our patients and sensitive to their fears and anxieties when it comes to pain. After each procedure, we inform them of what to expect in terms of discomfort and give them thorough instructions on how to handle it. The majority of our patients say they don’t feel any pain, but for those who experience headaches and the like, regular pain medication is usually enough."
