Yes. Your initial visit includes photos, a 3-D scan, and a personalized treatment estimate—no strings attached.
Do I need a referral from my dentist to book?
No. While we love collaborating with local dentists, you may contact us directly at any time.
What payment options do you offer?
We accept all major credit cards, provide in-house, no-interest monthly plans, and will file insurance claims on your behalf. Ask about family or pay-in-full discounts, too.
Will my insurance cover orthodontic treatment?
Most dental plans include a lifetime orthodontic benefit. At your consult we’ll verify coverage, explain any out-of-pocket costs, and submit claims electronically.
How long does treatment usually take?
Typical cases range from 6–24 months, depending on complexity and patient compliance. You’ll receive a precise timeline after your exam.
How often are appointments?
Braces adjustments are every 4-8 weeks; clear-aligner check-ins are usually every 6-10 weeks. Each visit lasts about 15-30 minutes.
What if a bracket breaks or my aligner cracks?
Call us at 613-123-4567. We reserve same-day “comfort visits” for urgent repairs and can often guide minor fixes over the phone.
Do you treat adults, too?
Absolutely. Nearly 40 % of our patients are adults seeking discreet options like clear aligners or ceramic brackets.
Will orthodontic treatment hurt?
Expect mild pressure or soreness for a day or two after adjustments or new aligners. Over-the-counter pain relievers and a soft-food diet usually do the trick.
What happens after treatment ends?
You’ll receive a custom retainer plan—typically full-time wear for a few months, then nights only—to keep your smile straight for life.
