Find & Compare Orthodontists in Your Area!

Orthodontists straighten teeth and correct bites with braces, clear aligners, expanders, and retainers. They are dentists who completed extra years of specialty training in tooth movement and jaw growth. Parents arrive here after a dentist suggested an evaluation around age seven, teenagers arrive with a crowded smile, and adults arrive wanting aligners that no one at work will notice.

Orthodontists hold a state dental license plus specialty training, and many are board certified; check the license with the state dental board. Most offer a free or low-cost consultation, so visit two before deciding. Ask how long treatment is expected to take, what the total fee covers, whether retainers and follow-up visits are included, and what happens if a bracket breaks or treatment runs long. Fees are usually quoted as a total with a monthly payment plan, and dental insurance often pays a fixed lifetime amount toward orthodontics. Routine cleanings and fillings stay with dentists throughout treatment.
