Orthodontic FAQ

How can I tell if my child needs orthodontic treatment?

It's a tough question for parents, especially if their children still have baby teeth. Will their child really need orthodontics? It may be hard to determine, especially in smaller children.

At Zombek Orthodontics, we can help you determine whether your child needs braces, Invisalign or other options. The first step is to start a virtual consult right here from the website. We'll let you know if treatment is necessary, and we'll guide you every step of the way.

Am I too old to get orthodontic treatment?

Orthodontics isn't just for children or teenagers anymore! Plenty of adults want to improve their smiles. If you're one of them, we have several options available to help you achieve your perfect smile.

If you aren't keen on traditional metal braces, Invisalign may be a great option for you. The clear aligners have a low profile and are removable, so there's minimal disruption to your lifestyle. Contact us to find out all of your options.

What age should I take my child to the orthodontist?

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends treatment can start as young as 7 years old. The earlier your child's dental issues are addressed, the less surgery and treatment may be required later.

Many parents believe children can't wear braces while they still have baby teeth. In fact, correcting the locations of the baby teeth can help the permanent teeth come in straight. Correcting other issues, such as misaligned arches, crowded teeth or gapped teeth, can reduce the need for permanent teeth removal later. So it's perfectly acceptable to start your child's orthodontic treatment before they have all of their permanent teeth.

How long will treatment take?

Treatment times can vary for a number of reasons, including the severity of the dental issues and if there is more than one issue that needs to be addressed. It also will depend on the type of treatment chosen, whether it's braces, Invisalign or another option.

During your initial one-on-one consultation with Zombek Orthodontics, we'll provide an estimate on how long treatment may take, so you can make an informed decision before treatment begins.

Can I still get treatment if I'm missing teeth?

Absolutely! We use a 3D scanner to create a precise map of your teeth and design a custom treatment plan to correct any issues, including gaps in the teeth. We can recommend the best options for you to provide you with a smile you will be proud to show off every day.

It's just as important to correct dental issues in adults as it is in children. Over time, untreated dental issues in adults can lead to complications such as bone loss or gum disease. It's not to late to correct those issues. Start with a virtual consult, or contact our offices today.
