Services
Invisalign
Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. This treatment is ideal for adults and teens seeking a nearly invisible alternative to traditional braces. Aligners are custom-made using SmartTrack material for comfort and precision, allowing patients to maintain oral hygiene and eat freely while achieving a healthier smile.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces blend with natural teeth for a subtle appearance. They function like metal braces but use tooth-colored brackets and wires to reduce visibility. This option suits teens and adults prioritizing aesthetics while requiring effective treatment for misalignment, overcrowding, or bite issues.
Self-Ligating Braces
Self-ligating braces use advanced bracket technology to straighten teeth efficiently. These braces eliminate the need for elastic ties, reducing friction and discomfort. They are durable, cost-effective, and ideal for correcting complex alignment issues in children, teens, and adults.
Early Orthodontics
Early orthodontic intervention addresses developmental issues in children aged 711. This phase guides jaw growth, corrects bite problems, and creates space for permanent teeth. Treatments like palatal expanders and interceptive therapy prevent severe issues and reduce future treatment complexity.
iTero Scanner
The iTero Scanner creates digital impressions for precise treatment planning. This technology eliminates messy molds, offering real-time 3D images of teeth and gums. It enhances accuracy in Invisalign and braces fitting, ensuring optimal results with minimal adjustments.

Questions
At what age should my child see an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an initial evaluation by age 7 to identify early issues and plan timely interventions.
How long does orthodontic treatment usually last?
Treatment typically lasts 18–24 months, depending on case complexity and patient compliance with aligner wear or brace adjustments.
Will my teen need teeth removed for braces?
Not always. Extractions depend on space availability and alignment issues. Dr. Anand evaluates each case individually to minimize invasive steps.
Does insurance cover orthodontic treatment?
Many plans cover part of the cost. Orthodontic Excellence works with insurers and offers financing to make treatment affordable for families.
Can I play sports with braces?
Yes, but wear a mouthguard to protect your teeth and braces during contact activities. Removable aligners should be stored safely during play.
What payment options are available?
We offer no-interest financing, CareCredit, Capital One, and major credit card payments to accommodate diverse budgets.
