FAQs About Washington Orthodontics
How do I know if I need orthodontic treatment?
Common signs include crooked or crowded teeth, gaps between teeth, or jaw misalignment affecting your functional bite. If you’re experiencing difficulty chewing, speaking, or feeling self-conscious about your smile, it’s worth scheduling an orthodontic consultation. Our orthodontist can assess your needs and recommend appropriate orthodontic solutions.
What's the difference between traditional braces and clear aligners?
Traditional braces employ metal brackets and wires to gradually move teeth to their ideal position, while clear aligners are made of removable plastic trays. Braces are typically more effective for complex cases, while aligners offer a more discreet appearance and easier maintenance. Our orthodontist will help you choose the best orthodontic appliances based on your specific needs and lifestyle.
How can I maintain my orthodontic appliances and ensure the best results?
Proper oral hygiene is crucial – brush and floss regularly, and use special tools we provide for cleaning around braces or aligners. Avoid hard, sticky, or sugary foods that can damage your orthodontic appliances or promote tooth decay. Attend all scheduled appointments for adjustments and progress checks to keep your treatment on track and achieve a successful treatment outcome.
Does Washington Orthodontics offer payment plans or accept insurance?
Yes, we offer flexible payment plans to make orthodontic treatment more accessible. We accept most major insurance plans and can help you understand your coverage for orthodontic care. Our team will work with you to create a financial arrangement that fits your budget, ensuring you can achieve your dream smile without undue financial stress.
What should I expect during my first orthodontic appointment?
Your initial visit will include a comprehensive oral examination and discussion of your concerns and smile goals. Our orthodontist may take X-rays or digital scans to assess your teeth and jaw structure, helping us develop a personalized treatment plan. Based on this evaluation, we’ll explain your orthodontic treatment options, estimated timeline, and costs, allowing you to make an informed decision about your orthodontic care and start your journey towards a healthier, more beautiful smile.

Invisalign
Invisalign offers a modern approach to teeth straightening without traditional braces. These clear, removable aligners are custom-made for your teeth, effectively shifting them into proper position. Washington Orthodontics’ experienced orthodontist will assess if Invisalign is the right solution for your unique dental alignment needs.
Your Invisalign treatment begins with a precise digital scan of your teeth. We use this to create a series of custom aligners, each worn for about two weeks. You’ll visit us periodically so we can check your progress and provide new sets of aligners. Most patients achieve their desired results in 12 to 18 months, but treatment times vary based on individual needs.

Clear Aligners for Kids and Adults
Clear aligners offer a discreet teeth-straightening option for both children and grown-ups. These custom-made trays gradually shift teeth into proper alignment without the visibility of traditional braces. Our expert orthodontist at Washington Orthodontics can determine if clear aligners for kids and adults are suitable for your family’s dental needs.
We start by creating a 3D model of your teeth to design your personalized set of aligners. You’ll wear each tray for about two weeks before switching to the next in the series. Regular check-ups with our orthodontist will allow us to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments.

Retainers
Retainers are vital tools for maintaining your newly aligned teeth. These custom devices prevent shifting after you’ve completed braces or aligner treatment. At Washington Orthodontics, our experienced orthodontist designs retainers tailored to each patient’s specific dental structure.
We provide multiple retainer types to accommodate different preferences. Following your primary orthodontic treatment, we’ll create accurate impressions of your teeth. These serve as the blueprint for your personalized retainer. You’ll receive detailed care and usage instructions. We also set up periodic appointments to monitor your teeth’s stability. Regular retainer use significantly increases the longevity of your orthodontic results.

Phase I Treatment
Kids’ smiles change fast, and sometimes they need extra help. Phase I treatment catches and fixes orthodontic issues early, usually when children are 6 to 10 years old. At Washington Orthodontics, our expert orthodontist spots potential problems before they become more complicated.
We start by taking a close look at your child’s teeth, jaw, and face shape. If we think phase I treatment will help, we’ll suggest a plan just for them. This might mean wearing partial braces or using special tools to guide tooth growth. We’ll see your child regularly to track how things are going and tweak the treatment as needed. By stepping in early, we often make future orthodontic work simpler and more effective.
