Are metal braces right for you?
You might be a great fit for traditional braces if you are dealing with:
-
Crooked or crowded teeth
-
Gaps or spacing
-
Overbite, underbite, or crossbite
-
Teeth that shift after past orthodontic treatment
-
A child or teen who needs a strong, dependable option

Dr. Lopez will walk you through what’s actually going on, what the timeline looks like, and what it’ll cost — clearly, without the orthodontist sales pitch.

Braces as Unique as Your Child
Orthodontic treatment doesn’t have to look the same for everyone. At Sparkle Orthodontics, we offer WildSmiles designer braces, a fun option that lets patients of any age add a little personality to their smile while it’s in progress.
Instead of standard brackets, you can choose shapes like stars, hearts, flowers, or sports designs. It’s a small change, but for kids, teens, and adults alike, it makes the whole experience feel more exciting.
You still get the same reliable results as traditional braces, just with a little more fun along the way.

How long do Alexandria dental braces take?
Treatment time depends on your teeth, your bite, and how much movement is needed. Many patients finish in 15–24 months, but some smiles take less time and some need a little longer. At your consultation for Alexandria dental braces, we’ll give you a personalized timeline and clear next steps.
How much do braces cost?
Cost depends on the type of braces and the complexity of your case. At your consultation, we’ll walk through your treatment options, check insurance benefits, and give you a clear estimate. We also offer flexible payment plans, so you can choose a monthly option that feels realistic.
Do you offer other options besides braces?
Yes. We offer other treatment options, including clear braces and clear aligners for those who want a more discreet option. During your consultation, Dr. Lopez will check your teeth and bite to help you decide on the best option.
