An orthodontist specializes in correcting tooth and jaw misalignments in children, teenagers and adults, with specialized devices. With well-aligned teeth, individuals can clean their teeth properly, which helps avoid tooth decay. Many adults visit an orthodontist to achieve the nice, aligned smile they’ve always wanted. It is never too late to get started with orthodontics; call us today to take the first step.

Why Should I Consider Getting Braces?

A straighter smile is always a good reason to get braces. However, better oral is also a good reason as misaligned teeth are often difficult to keep clean. Braces correct spaces between teeth, overbites and underbites and other problems. The one to two years spent straightening your teeth is well worth it if you value a great smile. Crooked teeth do not straighten out by themselves; call us to schedule an appointment and we will get your teeth moving in the right direction.

Which Types of Braces Does You Practice Offer?

Your options may include clear, ceramic and invisible types of braces. Ceramic options have brackets that are tooth-colored, so they are not very noticeable. Our orthodontist in Fairfax is committed to making sure that you have the best possible results, therefore, we may recommend one type over another. If we do, our dentist will explain why one choice is better than another for your unique needs. For example, as an adult, you may not want a noticeable oral appliance. Call for an appointment with us and we will help you make the right choice for yourself or your child.

As a Parent, What Do I Need To Know About Children’s Braces?

Braces in Fairfax are modern; the metal ones that parents remember are not the only choice anymore. It is important to tell your child or teen that braces are no longer very painful. After a visit, their mouth may be sore, but it will not hurt all of the time. There may be certain foods, such as chewing gum, that are off limits, and while this is hard for a child, their braces come off sooner if they avoid certain foods. As a parent, you will save money in the long-term because children with crooked teeth cannot keep them clean, which will likely lead to cavities and other problems.

How Beneficial Are Adult Braces?

Brushing and flossing are more effective when teeth are straight. Over time, plaque will build up, which may lead to gum disease or tooth loss. While most adults that visit our orthodontist in Fairfax want straight teeth, proper oral health is also an important benefit. Call us to schedule an initial consultation in our friendly office atmosphere; we will let you know how we can improve your smile.

How Much Will Braces in Fairfax Cost?

Certain oral appliance materials are more expensive than others. In certain cases, insurance or a discount dental plan may pay all or part of the cost for children’s braces. Call our office to schedule a visit and our dentist will go over the braces cost. We strive to make our services affordable.

Where Can I Find an Orthodontist Near Me That Makes My Child Feel Comfortable?

Our orthodontist has a comforting chair-side manner, especially with children. We always explain what to expect, in terms of discomfort and what foods to avoid, so you and your child are not surprised during later visits. The rest of our team will make you feel comfortable when asking questions and inquiring about the cost. Schedule your appointment today to discover quality orthodontics services in your community.

I have been a patient with the Hoffman Dental Group/Dental One Associates for many years. I give them 5 stars because I can’t rate any higher. But they really deserve 10! I am very happy with the service I receive! The doctors are excellent and the administrative team is just as stellar! My account is a bit complex but Lisa always manages to resolve any issues.

I recently had a procedure which had some unexpected complications and took much longer than anyone could have anticipated. Dr. Wang and Jackie treated me with care and were so gentle. Even though I was there for many hours they never rushed. With their calm manner I was able to stay relaxed and that may be why I had so little discomfort once the anesthetic wore off. Thank you to a great team!

I had a wonderful experience. I had to have an old filling removed and a new one put in. The Doctor told me what she was doing every step of the way. I had also lost my crown on tooth #31 and she was able to re-cement that. I found her and the assistant to be very professional and friendly. I felt at ease and comfortable the entire visit.

There was a time when I feared a visit to the dentist almost as much as I feared a visit to my local draft board. The dental hygienist who puts up with me has angel’s hands. It ain’t exactly fun, but a visit to the dentist’s office doesn’t bother me anymore.

Excellent! I have had my dental care with Howard Hoffman for at least 20 years. I broke a tooth in April. They took me right away. I ended up getting a crown but we saved the tooth. My regular checkup revealed old fillings had to go. I agreed. The work has been wonderful. They make every effort to make me feel at ease. So far all is going great.

Great appointment. The Dental Tech was professional, informative, pleasant, and I enjoyed talking with him. Dr. Wong did a great job as always. He was able to both assess my tooth (chipped filling and tooth) AND fix it with a new filling at one appointment (very much appreciated). I was out of there with a new filling and fixed tooth in just under an hour. Admin staff is also always very pleasant…
