Services
Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign treatment uses custom-made, virtually invisible aligners to gradually straighten teeth without traditional braces. Our certified providers create personalized treatment plans using advanced 3D imaging technology. Patients benefit from removable aligners that allow normal eating and oral hygiene routines while achieving significant smile improvements.
Early Orthodontic Treatment
Early intervention for children aged 7-10 addresses developing bite issues and jaw alignment problems. This proactive approach creates space for permanent teeth and guides facial development. Treatment typically lasts 12-18 months with periodic monitoring until all permanent teeth erupt.
Braces
Modern metal braces offer efficient tooth movement with smaller, more comfortable brackets. Treatment includes regular adjustments every 4-8 weeks and comprehensive care guidance. Ideal for complex cases requiring precise tooth positioning and bite correction.
Adult Orthodontics
Specialized treatment plans address adult-specific concerns like periodontal health and existing dental work. Options include discreet clear braces and accelerated treatment protocols. Our team coordinates with general dentists to ensure comprehensive oral health during orthodontic care.
Emergency Orthodontic Care
Urgent care for broken brackets, poking wires, and other appliance issues. Our team provides immediate guidance via phone and same-day appointments when needed. Patients receive detailed instructions for temporary problem management until professional repair can be completed.

Questions
What orthodontic services do you offer for adults?
We provide comprehensive adult orthodontic care including traditional braces, clear braces, and Invisalign clear aligners. Our specialists create customized treatment plans considering existing dental work and periodontal health.
How does Invisalign treatment work?

What should I do if my braces cause discomfort?
Mild soreness is normal. Use orthodontic wax for irritation and rinse with warm salt water. Take acetaminophen for pain relief. Contact us if issues persist beyond 48 hours.
Do you offer financing options?
Yes, we provide flexible payment plans and accept major credit cards. Our team helps maximize insurance benefits and offers interest-free financing for qualified patients.

We serve patients from Arlington, Belmont, Lexington, and surrounding communities. Our central location provides convenient access for residents throughout the MetroWest area.

Adjustment appointments occur every 4-8 weeks depending on treatment stage. Invisalign patients typically visit every 6 weeks. Emergency appointments are available same-day when needed.
