At Kenmore Family Dental Care, we believe that a beautiful smile is more than just aesthetics – it's about confidence, health, and overall well-being. Dr. Heejo Han and our expert team offer state-of-the-art orthodontic treatments to help you achieve proper alignment, improved oral health, and the smile you've always dreamed of. Whether you're dealing with crowded teeth, gaps, or bite issues, our personalized approach ensures optimal results for patients of all ages.
While there's no one-size-fits-all answer, the American Association of Orthodontists recommends an initial orthodontic evaluation by age 7. This allows us to identify potential issues early and determine the best time to begin treatment. However, orthodontic treatment can be successful at any age, and we see many adult patients achieving fantastic results.
Treatment duration varies depending on the individual case and the type of treatment chosen. On average, traditional braces treatment lasts 18-24 months, while clear aligner therapy might take 12-18 months. Some treatments, like Six Month Smiles, can produce results in as little as 6 months for suitable cases. During your consultation, Dr. Han will provide a more accurate timeline based on your specific needs.
