There have been so many advances in orthodontics that no adult should deprive themselves the pleasure of a beautiful, healthy smile. New techniques can make orthodontics both subtle and non-intrusive for adults.

Types of treatment

Dr. Franz is an Invisalign Certified provider, and we offer both Invisalign and nearly invisible ceramic braces as well as traditional metal braces. The final treatment decision will be decided by both your treatment needs and personal esthetic choices.

Length of treatment

Each case is unique, and Dr. Franz will be pleased to provide you with an estimated treatment length at your initial consultation appointment. On average, full orthodontic treatment will last between 18 and 30 months. Limited cases may only last 6 to 12 months. Treatment time will also depend heavily on your cooperation with appliances and appointments.
