What age should my child see an orthodontist?

Many children benefit from an orthodontic evaluation by age seven to identify developing bite or alignment concerns and determine whether treatment may be needed.

How long does orthodontic treatment take?

Treatment time varies depending on the complexity of the case, but many orthodontic treatments are completed within 12 to 24 months.

Is Invisalign as effective as braces?

Invisalign can effectively treat many alignment concerns. The most appropriate option depends on your individual dental needs and treatment goals.

Do orthodontic treatments hurt?

Patients may experience mild discomfort when starting treatment or after adjustments, but this typically improves within a few days.

How do I care for my braces or aligners?

Good oral hygiene, regular brushing and flossing, and following your dentist's instructions help keep braces or aligners clean and functioning properly.

Dr. Mantena is the best! I’ve had two implants and three root canals plus crowns. Yes my teeth are not great but I won’t go to another dentist. Dr. Mantena is so skilled at these procedures. He’s precise, quick and reasonably priced. He keeps up on the latest techniques and explains what he’s doing. His team is very friendly and always work with you.
