Serenity Orthodontics

Caring for your grin can be an incredibly personal matter, and it’s only natural to want to find the most qualified provider to help you reposition your teeth. Many patients begin their search online and look for nearby orthodontists, but then struggle to choose from the numerous available options.

Are you wondering how much you can expect to pay for standard braces? Although the cost can vary significantly depending on your unique circumstances, this service typically ranges from approximately $3,000 to $7,000.

Any dental gear that exerts enough pressure on your teeth to move them has the potential to cause sensitivity and aches, especially when you first begin your treatment. In many cases, this tenderness naturally fades after a few days to a couple of weeks as your mouth adjusts to the change in pressure. Then, it’s normal to be retriggered when your archwire is adjusted or you switch to a new set of clear aligners.

Did you know that orthodontists have to complete dental training before they can specialize in treatments that straighten smiles? Typically, they must first earn a bachelor’s degree in an appropriate topic, then graduate with either a Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) or Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree from one of 75+ institutions recognized by the American Dental Association (ADA).

Dental insurance can often help reduce out-of-pocket expenses for orthodontic treatment, but there’s no guarantee that the required services will be included in  your plan. However, our Serenity Orthodontics team believes that everyone deserves a healthy, beautiful smile they can feel proud of, regardless of their budget.
