Learn MoreAt Griffin Orthodontics, we specialize in transforming smiles in West Allis & Oak Creek with personalized care and advanced technology. Our expert team is dedicated to providing the highest quality orthodontic solutions for children, adults, and teens.
Absolutely! Braces don’t have to stop your child from enjoying their favorite sports. With the right precautions, like wearing a properly fitted orthodontic mouthguard, your child can safely participate in both contact and non-contact sports without worrying about damaging their braces or teeth
Orthodontic treatment length depends on each patient’s case, but most people at Griffin Orthodontics complete treatment in about 12 to 24 months. Minor adjustments or early-phase treatments can take less than a year, while more complex cases (for example, significant bite corrections) might take up to about 2 years. Whether you choose LightForce braces or Spark Clear Aligners, our West Allis orthodontist will give you an estimated timeframe after evaluating your smile. With modern techniques and regular check-ups, we make sure your treatment stays on schedule as much as possible. Remember, following your orthodontist’s instructions (like wearing aligners as directed or keeping appointments) also helps finish your treatment on time.
LightForce Brackets are custom-made for each individual tooth using 3D printing technology, unlike traditional braces which use standard brackets. This customization allows for a more comfortable fit and precise tooth movement, often resulting in shorter treatment times and fewer office visits. Additionally, the ceramic material of LightForce Brackets is tooth-colored, making them less noticeable than metal braces
Children may need a palatal expander to correct issues such as crossbite, crowding, or impacted teeth. These devices help align the upper and lower jaws, create space for crowded teeth, and prevent future dental complication.
Orthodontic treatment costs can vary based on the length and complexity of care. For most cases requiring 12 to 36 months of treatment, the average cost ranges from $3,800 to $6,500. If your child needs early interceptive treatment, which typically lasts 8 to 15 months, costs may be up to $3,600. Every smile is unique, so we’re here to provide personalized care that fits your family’s needs and budget.
