FAQ

Services and Treatment

1. What orthodontic services do you offer at your practice?

Dr. Link offers a wide range of orthodontic services including Invisalign, metal braces, ceramic braces, InBrace lingual braces, LightForce braces, early orthodontic treatment, surgical orthodontic cases, digital treatment planning, and orthodontics for adults and teens.

2. Do you offer Invisalign or other clear aligner options for adults and teens?

Yes, Dr. Link offers Invisalign as well as ClearArc aligners, both clear aligner options suitable for adults and teens.

3. What is the difference between traditional braces and clear aligners?

Traditional braces, made of metal or ceramic, are attached to the teeth and adjusted periodically to straighten them. Clear aligners, like Invisalign, are removable trays that gradually move teeth into position. Aligners are more discreet and can be removed when eating or brushing, while braces are often more effective for complex cases.

4. How long does orthodontic treatment usually take?

The length of treatment depends on the complexity of the case, but orthodontic treatment generally lasts anywhere from 12 to 24 months.

Treatment Philosophy

6. What is your approach to orthodontic treatment planning?

8. Why is early orthodontic intervention important for some children?

Early intervention can address developmental orthodontic issues before they worsen, potentially reducing the need for more invasive treatments later and ensuring proper jaw growth and tooth alignment.

9. How do you determine the best treatment option for a patient?
