Schedule an appointment.

At the free initial exam, a Treatment Coordinator will take x-rays and pictures of the patient. The doctor will review the images and meet with the patient to do an exam.

The doctor will discuss treatment options with the patient and then prescribe the final treatment plan.

The Treatment Coordinator will go over all financial paperwork. We verify the patient’s insurance beforehand, whenever possible, to provide exact numbers, which you can pay all at once or monthly. The patient can either start braces or Invisalign that day or take the information home and talk through your options.

SmileLife typically sees patients at intervals of 6 or 12 weeks, depending on the treatment plan and if they’re in braces or Invisalign.

We will need a parent or guardian present for the initial exam. However, children over 12 years of age are more than welcome to be dropped off while their parent waits in the car. If we need a parent present for a future appointment, we will contact the parent or let them know on the patient’s report card.

Yes, we accept all insurance plans and can verify the patient’s eligibility beforehand at no charge. If the patient is self-pay, then we offer affordable in-house financing, where we break your fee into monthly payments based on the length of your treatment. We do require a down payment, which the treatment coordinator will discuss.

Orthodontists and dentists help patients improve their oral health, but in different ways. Dentistry is a broad medical specialty that deals with the teeth, gum, nerves, and jaw.

At the same time, orthodontics is a specialty within dentistry that focuses on correcting bites, occlusion, and the straightness of teeth.

One crucial difference is that all orthodontists are dentists, but not all dentists are licensed orthodontists.

You can make an appointment with an orthodontist to discuss your orthodontic needs and set up a treatment plan. By the same token, if your dentist does make a referral, you do not need to choose that orthodontist. However, that doesn’t mean that your general dentist has no role to play in your care.

Traditionally, treatment with dental braces begins when a child has lost most of their baby (primary) teeth and most of the adult (permanent) teeth have grown in — usually between the ages of 8 and 14.

The cost of braces and Invisalign varies based on time in treatment, how much movement needs to happen within the mouth, and the type of treatment. Typically, an entire case at SmileLife can range anywhere from $3,500 – $7,000.

For optimal results, Invisalign gradually aligns your teeth, minimizing discomfort and ensuring a precise, healthy smile. It is unrealistic to see changes in one to two weeks. While result speed varies between patients, some patients may begin to notice a subtle difference within 10 to 12 weeks.

There is no right or wrong choice in Invisalign vs. braces — just a choice. Each has advantages and disadvantages. And both will require some compliance from the patient. Today, both treatments can be done equally well with Invisalign or braces, and they both take about the same amount of time.
