FAQ

Common questions

At what age should a child first see an orthodontist?

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. Most kids won't need treatment that early, but early checks let us time treatment perfectly and sometimes avoid bigger problems later.

Am I too old for braces or Invisalign?

No. Healthy teeth can be moved at any age. A large share of orthodontic patients today are adults, and options like clear aligners and ceramic braces make treatment discreet for professionals.

How long does orthodontic treatment take?

Most comprehensive treatments take 12–24 months, depending on the complexity of the case and how consistently aligners or elastics are worn. We give you a personalized estimate at your free consultation.

Is the orthodontic consultation really free?

Yes — your first orthodontic consultation at SmileWorks includes an exam, digital records, and a clear discussion of options, timelines, and flexible payment plans, at no cost. For typical price ranges before you visit, see what braces cost and what Invisalign costs in Tallahassee.
