We Make Orthodontic Care Affordable

During your consultation, we'll also explain the cost of your care and give you an estimate. Though the price is different for everyone, traditional metal braces can cost $3,000 to $7,000 and ClearCorrect can cost anywhere from $4,000 to $5,500.

Save With Our Membership Plan & Financing Options

We accept most insurances and most providers will contribute to the cost of orthodontics. If you are uninsured, our Smile Savers plan can help. Our plan costs an average of 20% less than most insurance policies. It covers twice-yearly exams and cleanings, X-rays, and more. In addition, it gives patients a 15% discount on many services. We can also explain our payment plans and financing options that can help place the cost of orthodontics within your budget.

Benefits of Orthodontics: Issues We Can Treat and Prevent

This branch of dentistry can address many problems affecting the teeth, gums, palate, and jaw. If you suffer from any of these issues, consider speaking with our dentists about treatment:

  • Tooth Misalignment

    We work with orthodontists to correct many kinds of misaligned teeth, including overbites, underbites, crossbites, crowded teeth, open bites, and large gaps between your teeth.

  • Toothaches

    Crowding of the teeth can cause soreness and pain. The discomfort may occur when biting and chewing, or it may be persistent due to a prolonged issue with the distribution of pressure throughout your bite.

  • Tooth Decay

    Poor dental alignment can make it difficult to thoroughly clean all surfaces of your teeth. This raises the risk of cavities, tooth fractures, and root canal infections, which can require costly treatment.

  • Gum Disease

    Difficulties cleaning your teeth properly can also increase the risk of periodontal health issues. Gum disease can lead to a variety of serious oral health concerns, including the loss of one or more teeth.

  • Grinding (Bruxism)

    Malocclusion makes it difficult for your teeth and jaw to find a comfortable resting position, which causes clenching and grinding while you sleep. This can have a variety of effects including worn teeth and jaw pain.

  • TMJ Disorders

    Bruxism combined with poor dental alignment puts strain on the jaw joints, which can increase the risk of developing TMJ disorder. Symptoms can include headaches, difficulty chewing, and muscle spasms.

Combining Orthodontic Treatments The Best of Both Worlds

While braces are often recommended for severe misalignment and clear aligners are often used to fine-tune minor concerns, certain patients can benefit from both. If you have severe dental misalignment but are put off by the idea of wearing braces for your entire treatment, our Newport, TN, dentists can start you off with braces and then switch you to ClearCorrect to finish out your treatment.

Your Orthodontic Timeline Depends on Your Concerns

Your orthodontic solution can take months or years to straighten your teeth to the degree that you want, but the results are well worth it. Here's what you can expect based on your concerns:

For the most effective treatment, wear your aligners for 20-22 hours each day or visit your orthodontist routinely to tighten your braces.

Minor Misalignment

Minor cosmetic concerns like slight tooth gaps and a single misaligned tooth can often be corrected in about six months using ClearCorrect or braces, though the timeline will depend on patient compliance.

Moderate Misalignment

Cases of moderate misalignment can take an average of 12-18 months to correct.

Severe Misalignment

Complex cases of dental misalignment will require braces and can take three years or more to correct. If this timeline seems intimidating, keep in mind that our dentistry office can switch you to ClearCorrect aligners after the heavy lifting with braces is complete.

Orthodontics for All Ages

Although orthodontic treatment is often associated with young patients, the truth is that it's never too late to achieve a straighter and healthier smile. Our dentists work with the area's best orthodontists to help any patient suffering from malocclusion experience the benefits of a properly aligned bite:

Adult Orthodontics

Adults who have suffered from malocclusion their entire lives may be candidates for braces or ClearCorrect. While adults often prefer the discreet and simplified nature of the ClearCorrect system, our team can accommodate more complex cases with traditional orthodontics and the help of an area orthodontist.

Orthodontics for Adolescents

Treating dental misalignment in young adulthood can set the stage for a lifetime of excellent oral health and confident smiles. We can tailor a custom treatment plan using either ClearCorrect or traditional braces to benefit your child.

Maintaining Your Results Into the Future

You've finished your orthodontic treatment and you're thrilled with the results. So how can you maintain them? 

Wearing a retainer can keep your straightened smile in place. Our dentists may recommend wearing a retainer or your final set of aligner trays full-time for a few months, and then every night indefinitely. Be sure to follow your dentist's instructions to maintain your newly-aligned smile. Without proper maintenance, your teeth can shift back into their old misaligned positions.
