Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. Ideal for teens and adults seeking aesthetic solutions, treatment duration varies based on complexity. SmartTrack material ensures comfort and precise tooth movement.
Metal Braces
Durable stainless steel brackets and wires correct misalignments effectively. Suitable for complex cases, with average treatment times ranging from 18-24 months. Regular adjustments maintain progress toward optimal alignment.
Early Orthodontic Care
Monitors jaw development and addresses bite issues in children aged 7-9. Early intervention prevents future extractions or surgery. Corrects habits like thumb sucking and guides permanent teeth eruption.
Emergency Orthodontic Care
Urgent adjustments for broken wires, loose brackets, or discomfort outside regular appointments. Available for all patients undergoing active treatment. Timely solutions ensure uninterrupted progress toward ideal alignment.
iTero Digital Scanning
Non-invasive digital impressions capture precise tooth and gum contours. Eliminates traditional putty molds for treatment planning. Enhances accuracy in creating customized braces and aligners for optimal results.

Questions
What orthodontic treatments are available for adults?
We offer clear braces, Invisalign aligners, and traditional metal braces tailored to adult needs. Treatments address jaw alignment, spacing, and bite issues while prioritizing aesthetics and comfort.
How does early orthodontic intervention benefit children?
Early treatment (ages 7-9) guides jaw growth, reduces future extraction needs, and corrects harmful habits like thumb sucking. Phase One ensures proper permanent teeth eruption and facial symmetry.
What emergency orthodontic services do you provide?
We address broken brackets, wire irritations, and loose appliances promptly. Call our office for urgent issues during or after regular hours to schedule immediate care.
Can I schedule a free orthodontic consultation?
Yes, we offer complimentary initial consultations for all patients. This includes a comprehensive exam, diagnostic imaging, and personalized treatment recommendations from Dr. Betancur.
How does Invisalign treatment compare to traditional braces?
Invisalign offers removable, nearly invisible aligners with fewer office visits. Braces provide fixed, precise movement for complex cases. Treatment duration varies but averages 12-24 months for both.
Do you accept orthodontic insurance?
Yes, we work with most major orthodontic insurance providers. Our team assists with claims processing and offers flexible payment plans to maximize coverage benefits.
