Orthodontics at Ideal Dental

Our orthodontic dental services

Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry focused on correcting irregularities of the teeth and jaw, primarily through the use of braces and aligners. At Ideal Dental, our orthodontic services include traditional metal and ceramic braces, as well as Invisalign® clear aligners.

These treatments are designed to align and straighten teeth, improving bite function and enhancing aesthetic appearance. Ideal Dental's expert orthodontists employ a personalized approach, using detailed assessments and advanced imaging technologies to plan treatments that are specifically tailored to each of our guests’ needs. Our in-house specialists ensure that all orthodontic care is integrated seamlessly with other dental services, providing comprehensive care under one roof.

Every orthodontic journey at Ideal Dental begins with a complimentary consultation. Your orthodontist examines your smile, walks you through the options — metal braces, ceramic clear braces, or Invisalign® clear aligners — and lays out the timeline and cost of each before you commit to anything. Many guests can begin treatment the same day as their consultation.

Braces and aligners aren’t just for teens: healthy teeth can be moved at nearly any age, and adults make up a growing share of Ideal Dental orthodontic guests. With 150+ locations, Saturday appointments, and flexible payment options, straightening your smile fits real life.

Orthodontics FAQs

How much do braces and Invisalign cost at Ideal Dental?

The cost of orthodontic treatment depends on your case — how much correction you need and whether you choose metal braces, ceramic braces, or Invisalign. Your complimentary consultation includes a clear, itemized quote before you commit to anything. New-guest orthodontic offers are often available, and the Ideal Dental Plan and flexible payment options help treatment fit your budget. No insurance is required to get a quote.

Should I choose braces or Invisalign?

Both straighten your teeth and correct crowding, gaps, and bite problems — the right choice depends on your smile and your lifestyle. Traditional metal and ceramic braces are fixed to your teeth and handle a wide range of cases, while Invisalign uses removable, nearly invisible aligners you can take out to eat, brush, and floss. At your consultation, your Ideal Dental orthodontist reviews your teeth and recommends the option that fits your goals, timeline, and budget.

How long does orthodontic treatment take?

Treatment time varies from person to person. Simpler corrections can take several months, while more complex cases may take closer to two years. Your orthodontist gives you a personalized timeline at your consultation once they have assessed your teeth and bite.

Am I too old for braces or Invisalign?

No — healthy teeth can be moved at nearly any age, and adults make up a growing share of our orthodontic guests. Whether you are considering treatment for yourself or your child, your consultation covers the options that make sense for your smile.

Do I need a referral or insurance to start orthodontic treatment?

You do not need a referral, and you do not need insurance to begin. Your orthodontic consultation at Ideal Dental is complimentary, and our team walks you through payment and financing options — including the Ideal Dental Plan — so cost is clear from the start.

Can I start treatment the same day as my consultation?

Often, yes. Many guests are able to begin treatment the same day as their complimentary consultation, once the orthodontist confirms the plan. With 150+ locations open six days a week and Saturday appointments available, it is easy to get started on a schedule that works for you.

Achieving Beautiful Smiles with Expert Orthodontic Care

Orthodontic care is crucial not only for cosmetic appeal but also for overall oral health. Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, chew more effectively, and contribute to healthier gums. Ideal Dental focuses on these long-term benefits when recommending orthodontic treatments.

Metal & Traditional Braces

Metal braces remain a trusted and effective solution for correcting misaligned teeth and bite issues. Made from durable, high-quality stainless steel, traditional braces use brackets and wires to guide teeth into position. At Ideal Dental, our orthodontic specialists customize treatment plans to address your specific needs, ensuring consistent progress and long-lasting results.

Invisalign®

Invisalign® uses a series of custom-made, clear aligners that fit snugly over your teeth, gently and gradually moving them into alignment. This treatment is particularly popular among adults and teens who seek a more aesthetic and less intrusive solution. Ideal Dental’s Invisalign® specialists provide a smooth treatment process, from initial consultation to the final placement of retainers, ensuring optimal outcomes with minimal disruption to daily life.

Ceramic & Clear Braces

Ceramic braces offer a discreet alternative to metal braces, using clear or tooth-colored brackets for a more subtle appearance. At Ideal Dental, our orthodontic specialists customize treatments to deliver effective results while keeping your smile looking natural throughout the process.

Retainers

After orthodontic treatments, retainers are essential for maintaining the alignment of your teeth. Ideal Dental provides customized retainers designed to ensure that your teeth remain in their new position, safeguarding the results of your orthodontic investment.
