Our Process

Comprehensive Smile Assessment

Your journey to straighter teeth begins with a thorough examination at our Bellevue office. We’ll use advanced imaging techniques to get a detailed view of your teeth and jaw structure, discussing your smile goals and any concerns you may have. This in-depth patient consultation allows us to understand your unique needs and explain how braces can benefit your specific case.

Crafting Your Custom Plan

Based on your smile assessment, we’ll develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your individual needs. This plan outlines the type of braces best suited for you, estimated treatment duration, and any additional procedures that may enhance your results. We’ll walk you through each step, ensuring you understand the process and feel confident in your decision to proceed with this treatment.

Precise Placement

Once you’re ready to start, we’ll carefully place your braces, ensuring proper positioning for optimal results. Whether you’ve chosen traditional, ceramic ones, or another option, our skilled orthodontist will apply them with precision and care. We’ll provide detailed instructions on how to care for your braces and what to expect in the coming weeks.

Ongoing Care and Adjustments

Throughout your treatment, you’ll have regular appointments for adjustments and progress checks. These visits allow us to monitor your teeth movement, make necessary adjustments, and ensure your treatment stays on track. We’ll also address any questions or concerns you may have, providing tips and support to make your orthodontic experience as comfortable as possible.

Celebrating Your New Smile

After your braces are removed, we’ll fit you with a custom retainer to maintain your newly aligned smile. We’ll schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your retainer. Our commitment to your care extends beyond the active phase of your treatment, as we work together to preserve your beautiful results for years to come.

FAQs About Braces in Bellevue

How long will I need to wear braces?

Your treatment timeline is as unique as your smile. Most patients wear braces for 18 to 24 months, but your specific treatment duration will depend on factors like the complexity of your case and how your teeth respond to treatment. At Washington Orthodontics, we use advanced techniques to optimize your treatment time while ensuring the best possible results for your smile.

How will braces affect my daily routine?

Every smile is different, so your treatment timeline will be too. Most of our Bellevue patients wear braces for 18 to 24 months, but it really depends on how complex your case is and how your teeth respond. At Washington Orthodontics, we use advanced technology and treatment planning to keep things efficient—so you can get great results without unnecessary delays.

Are braces suitable for adults, or are they just for teenagers?

Adjusting to braces is easier than you might think. While you’ll need to steer clear of a few foods and stay on top of brushing and flossing, most of our patients—from students to professionals working in downtown Bellevue or nearby tech campuses—find these habits easy to stick to. We’ll walk you through everything so you’re fully prepared from day one.

How often will I need to visit Washington Orthodontics during my treatment?

Expect a visit every 4–6 weeks for adjustments. Our office is conveniently located for patients commuting around the Eastside—whether you’re based in Redmond, Kirkland, Sammamish, or Issaquah. We offer flexible scheduling so it’s easy to swing by before or after work, on a lunch break, or even between meetings. We’re here to make your treatment fit into your life, not the other way around.

What happens after my braces are removed?

Once your braces come off, the journey isn’t quite over yet. You’ll enter the retention phase to lock in your results. That means wearing a custom retainer as directed and visiting our Bellevue office for occasional check-ups. Whether you’re based in Lake Hills, Newport Hills, Factoria, or nearby Eastside neighborhoods, we’re here to make post-treatment care easy and convenient. Our goal is to help your new smile stay aligned, healthy, and confidently yours for years to come.
