How we craft your dream smile
Tiny Smiles, Big Potential
Kickstart your kiddo’s smile success! Early orthodontic check-ups let us peek at their growing teeth and jaw, catching little issues before they turn into big ones.
Braces With Personality
Braces aren’t one-size-fits-all, and neither is your smile. Classic metal, clear ceramic, or colorful — find your style!
Clear Aligners
Not a fan of metal wires? Clear aligners offer a discreet, comfortable way to achieve a dazzling smile.
Clear Braces
Orthodontics for Kids
Expanders
Surgical Orthodontics
Metal Braces
Retainers
THEN vs. NOW
Not your average ortho studio
We’re more than just braces and wires — we’re part of the Alexandria community, and we’re here to build connections while transforming smiles. With cutting-edge technology, fully personalized treatments, and a team that speaks your language (¡sí, también hablamos español!), we make orthodontics feel fresh, fun, and totally you.
Got questions? We’ve got answers!
When should my child see an orthodontist for the first time?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a check-up by age 7. Even if treatment isn’t needed yet, early visits help us spot potential issues before they become big problems.
Do braces hurt?
Braces might feel a little weird at first, but don’t worry — any discomfort is temporary! Plus, we offer tips to make the adjustment period a breeze.
Can I get clear aligners instead of braces?
How long will my treatment take?
Every smile is different! On average, treatment takes 12-24 months, but we’ll give you a personalized timeline at your consultation.
What happens if I break a bracket or lose an aligner?
No worries — just give us a call! We’ll get you in ASAP to fix and keep your treatment on track.
How much do braces or clear aligners cost?
Cost depends on the type of treatment and how complex your case is. Our orthodontics practice in Alexandria offers flexible payment plans to make your dream smile affordable.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes! We work with all major insurance providers, including Humana, Cigna, United Concordia, Dentaquest (Medicaid), Guardian, Delta Dental, and Aetna. Our friendly staff will take care of all the insurance paperwork for you.
Do I need a referral from my dentist?
Nope! You can book a consultation with us anytime — just give us a call or schedule online.
Will I have to wear a retainer after treatment?
Yes! Retainers keep your teeth from shifting back.
