Orthodontics is the dental specialty that focuses on correcting problems in the alignment of the teeth and jaws, including misaligned teeth, crowded teeth, gapped and spaced teeth, overbites, underbites, open bites and crossbites. While many people consider orthodontic treatment to be primarily cosmetic, it is highly beneficial to your oral health and function. Teeth that are properly aligned are easier to keep clean with regular brushing and flossing, greatly lowering your risk of developing problems such as gum disease and tooth decay. Orthodontics also improves your ability to chew, eat and speak correctly, improving your overall quality of life.
There are many orthodontic treatments available, ranging from traditional metal braces to more discreet options such as clear aligner therapy. When you visit our office, our dentists and team will examine your mouth and discuss your treatment options with you in order to create an individualized plan that meets your needs and will help you improve your oral health and smile. Thanks to advances in treatment techniques and technologies, orthodontic care is now faster, more comfortable and more reliable than ever before!
Frequently Asked Questions About Orthodontic Treatments
How do I choose between braces and Invisalign at Avant Dentistry?
At Avant Dentistry, our board-certified orthodontists work closely with you to evaluate your bite, alignment goals, dental history, and lifestyle. Whether you’re considering traditional metal or ceramic braces, invisible lingual braces, or clear aligners like Invisalign, we tailor a plan to fit your unique needs. We use advanced tools like the iTero® scanner, CEREC crowns, and Cone Beam CT imaging for precision and efficiency.
What advanced technologies do you use during orthodontic treatment?
Our Tysons office is equipped with leading-edge technology to enhance your comfort and treatment results. We use iTero digital impressions for mess-free, accurate models, Cone Beam 3D imaging to capture detailed views of your teeth and jaws, and DIAGNOdent laser cavity detection to monitor oral health throughout treatment. Our in-house CEREC machine also allows for same-day restorations when needed.
How long will orthodontic treatment take with Avant Dentistry?
Treatment timelines vary depending on your case, but most patients can expect results within 12 to 24 months. We typically schedule adjustment visits every 6 to 10 weeks. For simpler alignment needs, clear aligners like Invisalign may offer a faster path to a straighter smile—especially with consistent wear. Retainers will be provided after treatment to maintain your beautiful results.
Can kids and adults both get orthodontic care here?
Yes! Avant Dentistry proudly offers orthodontic services for all ages. From early orthodontic intervention in children to teen treatments like Invisalign Teen® and discreet adult options such as lingual braces, we provide personalized care for every stage of life. Our integrated team of general dentists and specialists ensures that all your dental needs are met under one roof.
Will I need extractions, surgery, or appliances during treatment?
Depending on the complexity of your case, we recommend tooth extractions (commonly premolars) to make room for alignment or correct overcrowding. Appliances like expanders or headgear may be used for jaw development and bite correction. Our team will fully explain recommended procedures and create a personalized treatment plan.
How do you ensure my comfort during orthodontic treatment?
At Avant Dentistry, your comfort is a priority. We offer a gentle approach to every procedure, including orthodontic adjustments, and we use technology designed to reduce discomfort—like low-radiation digital X-rays and laser-assisted therapies. For those with anxiety or sensitive teeth, sedation options are available to make treatment more comfortable.
