Our Orthodontic & Cosmetic Treatment Options

From kids to adults, we offer a full range of solutions—from clear braces to Invisalign® and veneers—to help you achieve a confident, healthy smile.

Clear Braces

Modern orthodontic treatment can make even traditional braces clear so you can see only a tiny thin wire from conversational distance. No more “metal mouth”. In some cases it is even possible to have all of the braces on the inside so there is nothing at all to see from the outside.

Invisible Braces with Invisalign

Invisalign uses a series of nearly invisible, custom-made plastic aligners to gently move teeth into place. They’re removable for eating, brushing, and flossing—making treatment more comfortable and convenient. Each set of aligners is worn for 2–3 weeks before moving to the next step in the series, gradually straightening your smile without the look of traditional braces.

Straightening Teeth with Porcelain Veeners

For adults who may not be suited for or prefer not to use braces, porcelain veneers offer a fast alternative. Veneers can straighten, repair, and whiten teeth all at once—often transforming a smile in as little as two weeks.

Orthodontics for Children & Adults

Tooth straightening with orthodontics can be done for children as young as 8 years old and for adults at any age. There is no limit in age for adult orthodontics. Our orthodontic team can work with the cosmetic team at Dental Care of Stamford to create a program to give you the best results in the best way for you.

Cost of Braces & Financial Options

The cost of orthodontic treatment varies with the individual patients’ dental conditions and treatment selected. The purpose of the orthodontic consultation is for the doctor to discuss your personal needs and concerns, examine your dental conditions and then present treatment options that will best suit your dental needs and lifestyle.
Once we have arrived at a course of action, we can have a candid discussion of the fees and finances. Orthodontic treatment is not an every day occurrence and we have many options and financial arrangements to cover the cost of braces so straightening teeth does not have to be a strain on anyone’s budget.

Orthodontic Emergencies or Problems

Please feel free to contact our orthodontics department if you are experiencing any discomfort or if you have any questions about your orthodontic care or your braces. Below are a few simple steps that might help if you are unable to contact us or if you need a “quick fix”.

Loose Bracket

Gently remove and save it, or leave it if it’s not irritating—then call us to schedule a reattachment.

Poking Wire

Use orthodontic wax to cushion it, carefully trim the end with nail clippers, or tuck it back with a pencil eraser until your appointment.

Wire Out of Back Brace

Try using tweezers or needle-nose pliers to reposition it, or trim it carefully if needed. Then, call us to have it fixed properly.

Poking Elastic (Rubber Band) Hook

Use wax or press the hook inward gently with a pencil eraser to ease irritation.

Sore Teeth

Discomfort is normal after adjustments. Rinse with warm water, follow a soft-food diet, and use OTC pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen as needed. If soreness persists beyond a few days, give us a call.
