There are several types of braces to choose from, each with its own advantages. The most common include traditional metal braces, ceramic braces (which are less noticeable), and clear aligners like Spark. At Griffin Orthodontist we will help you decide which type is best for your child’s specific needs and lifestyle.

Spark Clear Aligners are very similar in concept to Invisalign, but many patients and providers note some advantages. Spark aligners are known for being even more transparent (less noticeable) and resistant to staining, so they stay clear over the months of wear. They are designed with polished, smooth edges for comfort on your gums. Just like other top aligner brands, Spark efficiently straightens teeth in stages, and at Griffin Orthodontics you’ll receive regular check-ups to ensure your Spark treatment stays on track. In short, Spark Clear Aligners offer the same convenient, removable teeth straightening as Invisalign, with enhancements in clarity and comfort that patients appreciate.

Yes, certain foods should be avoided to prevent dislodging the expander. Sticky, chewy, or hard foods such as gum, caramel, and nuts should be avoided. Instead, opt for softer foods that are easier to chew and less likely to interfere with the appliance

The cost of orthodontic treatment varies based on the complexity of your case, the type of braces chosen (e.g., KL Owen Braces, Spark clear aligners), and the length of treatment. We offer a comprehensive consultation to provide a personalized treatment plan and detailed cost breakdown. We believe in transparency with no hidden fees.

Dental insurance coverage for orthodontic services can vary significantly depending on the specific insurance plan. Generally, orthodontic services, which include treatments like braces, clear aligners, and retainers, are designed to straighten teeth and correct bite issues. Here are some key points to consider:

– Coverage Variability: Not all dental insurance plans cover orthodontic services. It’s essential to review your dental plan materials carefully to understand what is included and what is not.

– Types of Treatments: Orthodontic services may include traditional metal braces, clear braces, clear aligners like Invisalign, and retainers. These treatments can be for both health-related and cosmetic reasons.

– Eligibility and Limits: Some dental plans may have specific coverage limits, such as a maximum amount covered per year or a lifetime maximum for orthodontic treatments. Additionally, there may be waiting periods before coverage begins.

– Discounts and Networks: If orthodontic services are not covered, some plans may offer discounts if you use an orthodontist within their network. It’s also beneficial to check if your preferred orthodontist is part of the plan’s network to maximize savings.

– Supplemental Plans: If your primary dental insurance does not cover orthodontics, you might consider supplemental dental plans that can help reduce the cost of these treatments.

In summary, while some dental insurance plans cover orthodontic services, it’s crucial to review your specific plan details to understand the extent of the coverage, any limitations, and potential discounts available. Please review patient information section or contact us for more information.
