Your first visit is completely free and zero-pressure. One of our board-certified orthodontists will do a full smile evaluation, walk you through your treatment options, give you a timeline, and discuss costs and payment plans, all at the same appointment. Most patients can even get started the same day if they're ready. Learn more on our first visit page.

Neither is universally better. It depends on your teeth, lifestyle, and goals. Invisalign is removable, nearly invisible, and great for adults and teens who want flexibility. Traditional braces tend to be more precise for complex cases and don't require the same level of patient compliance. Our board-certified team will help you figure out which is the right fit during your free consultation.

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. At that age, we can spot developing bite issues and jaw problems early, even if treatment isn't needed yet. Early evaluation gives us the ability to guide growth before it becomes a bigger (and more expensive) problem later. And yes, the first visit is free for kids too.

Yes, we work with most major dental insurance plans and will help you maximize your benefits. We also offer flexible in-house payment plans with the lowest down payments in Johnson City for patients without orthodontic coverage.
