Understanding Your Orthodontic Options

Orthodontic treatment corrects bite issues and misaligned teeth using controlled, gradual pressure. At Nova Dental, we offer both traditional approaches and clear aligner therapy so patients can choose what fits their lifestyle. You may be a candidate for orthodontics if you notice:

• Teeth that overlap, twist, or have visible gaps
• Jaw discomfort or an uneven bite when chewing
• Difficulty flossing due to crowding
• A desire to correct a smile before a big event

Both teens and adults can benefit - orthodontics isn't just for kids, and many of our East Orange patients begin treatment well into adulthood.

What to Expect: Treatment, Timeline, and Cost

Every orthodontic journey starts with a full exam and digital imaging to map out the most efficient path to a straighter bite. Depending on the case, treatment can take anywhere from several months to a couple of years, with periodic check-ins to track progress.

Most patients experience mild pressure for a day or two after adjustments, easily managed with over-the-counter pain relief. Cost depends on the complexity of the case and the type of treatment chosen. Our team works with most dental insurance providers and offers payment plans to keep care within reach for East Orange families.
