These are some of the questions families ask most often when they begin orthodontic treatment planning with Stellar Orthodontics.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an evaluation around age 7. Treatment isn't always needed that early, but a check-up lets your orthodontist spot bite or growth concerns while there's still time to guide them simply.
Invisalign and clear aligners work for most mild to moderate cases, including many adults. Complex bite issues, severe crowding, or cases requiring detailed tooth rotation may still respond better to fixed braces. Your free consultation answers this for your specific case.
Yes. More than one in four orthodontic patients today is an adult. Many choose Invisalign for discretion, clear ceramic braces for a softer look, or traditional braces for complex cases.
Most braces cases finish in 18 to 30 months. Invisalign for adults often finishes in 6 to 18 months. Your treatment plan, presented at your free consultation, gives you a realistic timeline before you commit.
Yes. Clear ceramic braces use tooth-colored brackets that blend in with your smile, while traditional braces use metal. Both are equally effective - the right choice depends on your priorities for aesthetics and budget.
