The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first visit around age seven. For all ages, treatment options include: Traditional Metal Braces: Made of high-grade stainless steel, these are the most common type of braces, often with options for colored elastics. Clear/Ceramic Braces: Made of clear materials, these are less visible and often preferred by older teenagers and adults with cosmetic concerns. Self-Ligating Braces (In-Ovation Brackets): These use a specialized metal clip instead of elastics, potentially reducing pressure and requiring fewer adjustments. Invisalign: A series of invisible, removable, and comfortable acrylic trays that straighten teeth without traditional braces, allowing for easier eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. Comprehensive Orthodontics: Full orthodontic treatment for alignment of all permanent teeth. Dentofacial Orthopedics: Addressing jaw discrepancies and facial growth. Surgical Orthodontics: In cases requiring surgical intervention for severe bite issues. Patients consistently praise Dr. Michalkow and his team for their professionalism, kindness, informative approach, and ability to create a comfortable and welcoming environment. The practice offers complimentary consultations and works with patients to create affordable, interest-free payment plans and assist with insurance claims, making orthodontic care accessible.
