FAQs About Orthodontic Services

What is the best age to start orthodontic treatment?

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an initial evaluation by age seven. However, orthodontic treatment can be effective at any age.

Absolutely! Many adults are choosing orthodontic treatment to improve their smiles. Spark™ Clear Aligners and clear aligners are especially popular among adults seeking discreet options.

Treatment time varies based on individual needs but typically ranges from 12 to 24 months. Dr. DiFranco will provide a personalized timeline during your consultation.

Spark™ Clear Aligners uses removable, nearly invisible aligners to gradually straighten teeth, making it a discreet and flexible option for mild to moderate orthodontic issues. Damon Clear Braces, on the other hand, are fixed appliances with clear, stain-resistant brackets and self-ligating technology. They are effective for both simple and complex cases while requiring fewer adjustments than traditional braces. The choice depends on your specific needs, lifestyle, and preference for removable aligners or fixed braces.

Some discomfort is normal, especially at the beginning of treatment or after adjustments. However, this is temporary and manageable.
