Afdent Orthodontics - Mishawaka

Afdent Orthodontics - Mishawaka is a specialized orthodontic branch of Afdent Dental Services, located at 533 W Douglas Rd, Mishawaka, IN 46545, within a comprehensive dental campus that also includes a general practice office and a surgery & emergency center. For over 40 years, Afdent has been a prominent dental health partner in Northern Indiana and Southern Michigan, committed to their philosophy of "Patient Friendly Dentistry®." The Mishawaka orthodontics office provides a variety of teeth-straightening solutions for children, teens, and adults. Their offerings include traditional metal braces, which utilize modern, low-profile brackets designed for comfort and faster treatment times, typically requiring visits every 6-8 weeks. They also offer clear braces for a more discreet option, functioning similarly to metal braces but with a nearly invisible appearance. A significant offering is Afdent Align, their in-house clear aligner system. This treatment involves a series of custom, removable, and virtually invisible trays that gradually shift teeth into their desired positions. The entire Afdent Align program is designed and monitored by board-certified orthodontists, ensuring professional oversight. A key benefit of clear aligners is the ability to remove them for eating and easier oral hygiene. Afdent Orthodontics is known for its competitive pricing and flexible in-house financing options, including low monthly payments and options for various down payments, making orthodontic treatment more accessible. They aim to accommodate patients with or without dental insurance and can assist in understanding insurance benefits. The clinic emphasizes personalized treatment plans and a no-obligation consultation to discuss options. The broader Afdent organization, founded by Dr. Pecina, has grown from a single location to multiple facilities, including the Mishawaka campus with its distinct offices for general dentistry, orthodontics, and surgical/emergency care, and another large location in Fort Wayne. The team comprises a substantial number of dental and customer service professionals, all working towards providing comprehensive dental solutions. While primarily focused on orthodontics at this specific location, Afdent's overarching services encompass preventive dentistry, restorative dentistry (including dental implants and dentures), cosmetic dentistry, oral surgery, sleep apnea treatment, and emergency dental care. Their long-standing presence and numerous patient testimonials reflect their dedication to patient satisfaction and a welcoming environment.
