3D Orthodontic Printing

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.

Yes. Griffin Orthodontics treats patients of all ages – children, teens, and adults – at our West Allis and Oak Creek offices. For children, we offer early evaluations (usually around age 7) and treatments like palatal expanders or early-phase braces to guide jaw growth and make future corrections easier. Teens can get traditional braces (with options like clear or LightForce braces) or clear aligners like Spark for a nearly invisible option during high school years. Adults are also welcome – it’s never too late to improve your smile, and we provide discreet treatment choices such as ceramic braces or Spark Clear Aligners to fit adults’ lifestyles. Our team personalizes treatment plans for each age group to ensure the best results and a comfortable experience.

LightForce Brackets are the world’s first fully customized 3D-printed ceramic braces. Unlike traditional braces that come in standard shapes, LightForce braces are digitally designed to fit the unique contours of your teeth. This means a more precise fit, which can make treatment more efficient and comfortable. They are also less noticeable than standard metal braces because they’re made of tooth-colored ceramic. At Griffin Orthodontics, our orthodontist uses LightForce technology to give you the benefits of traditional braces (reliably straightening all types of cases) with a modern, personalized touch that improves comfort and results.

Griffin Orthodontics in West Allis offers a full range of orthodontic treatments for patients of all ages. These include LightForce 3D-printed bracket braces (advanced traditional braces tailored to your teeth), Spark Clear Aligners (nearly invisible trays to straighten teeth), and palatal expanders for growing children who need jaw expansion. Whether you’re seeking treatment for a child, teen, or adult, this West Allis, WI orthodontist provides modern solutions to help everyone achieve a healthy, aligned smile.

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.
