What happens during my first consultation?
During your first consultation, we will likely review your health and dental history, examine your teeth and mouth, and sit down to speak with you or your child about your oral health and orthodontic goals. We will provide you with a thorough analysis of what we found during your exam and how we recommend treating your dental condition(s).
-
What age is right to begin orthodontic treatment?
It depends on the patient. We often recommend having your child brought in for the first time between the ages of six and eight. If your child is experiencing any issues, it is important that you do not wait to bring them in for an exam. Additionally, early intervention is often beneficial to diagnose issues and evaluate habits. And don’t forget that a patient is never too old for orthodontic treatment: At Raglin Orthodontics, we treat patients of all ages to help them achieve the smile of their dreams.

We also accept most forms of payment, including major credit cards.

What types of
braces do you offer?
Raglin Orthodontics is proud to offer a variety of options for braces, including metal braces, clear ceramic braces, clear aligners like Invisalign, Damon Smile, and self-litigating braces. Depending on your needs and dental condition, we will recommend which braces might be best for you and help you choose the perfect kind.

How long do I have to wear my braces?
Braces are one of the most common forms of treatment but not all patients are the same. Some patients will go through complete braces treatment in 18-24 months while others will take more or less time. The exact treatment time may change depending on how your teeth respond to treatment. The type of braces you have also impacts the amount of time you must wear them.
