Two Ways to Straighten Your Smile in Rochester Hills

Every smile is different, which is why we offer two proven orthodontic options. Traditional braces use a system of brackets, wires, and bands, including a tooth-colored ceramic option, to gradually and gently guide your teeth into place. Invisalign® uses a series of custom-made, clear, removable aligners that straighten your teeth without metal wires or brackets. With Invisalign, you’ll move to a new set of aligners approximately every two weeks. Our dentist will help you decide which option best fits your smile, lifestyle, and goals.

Rochester Hills Orthodontics for Every Age

No matter your age or where you are in your smile journey, our team is here to help you achieve a straighter, healthier smile. We look forward to meeting you and every member of your family and guiding you through your orthodontic treatment from start to finish.

What Can Orthodontic Treatment Correct?

Both braces and Invisalign® can address many of the same orthodontic concerns, including crowded or gapped teeth, crooked teeth, and bite issues such as crossbite, open bite, underbite, and overbite. Throughout treatment, you’ll visit our Rochester Hills office regularly, about every few weeks for braces, or roughly every six weeks for Invisalign®, so we can track your progress and keep your smile moving in the right direction.

Frequently Asked Questions About Orthodontic Treatments in Rochester Hills

Do you provide orthodontic care to patients outside Rochester Hills?

Yes. While our office is located in Rochester Hills, we welcome patients from Rochester, Troy, Auburn Hills, Shelby Township, Oakland Township, and other nearby Oakland County communities for orthodontic care, including braces and Invisalign®.

Will insurance help cover orthodontic treatment?

Coverage for orthodontics varies by plan. We submit claims to dental insurance providers on our patients’ behalf. We can also discuss financing options, including CareCredit® and our in-house Smile Easy Savings Plan, to help make treatment more manageable.

What’s involved in caring for my teeth during treatment?

With braces, you’ll want to be diligent about brushing and flossing around brackets and wires and avoid foods that could damage them. With Invisalign®, aligners should be worn 20 to 22 hours a day and removed only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. In both cases, regular visits to our Rochester Hills office help keep your treatment on track.

Is orthodontic treatment only for kids and teens?

No. While many people begin orthodontic treatment as teenagers, both braces and Invisalign work well for adults, too. Invisalign in particular is popular with adult patients who want a more discreet way to straighten their smile.

How long does orthodontic treatment take?

Treatment time varies from patient to patient. Invisalign treatment commonly falls somewhere between about 9 and 18 months depending on your case, while traditional braces may be worn for a similar range depending on the complexity of your bite and alignment issues. Your dentist will give you a more specific timeline after your evaluation.

How do I know if braces or Invisalign® is right for me?

The right option depends on your specific orthodontic needs, lifestyle, and preferences. Braces are fixed to your teeth and can address a wide range of alignment issues, while Invisalign® offers a removable, nearly invisible alternative that’s popular with teens and adults. Dr. Matievich will evaluate your smile and discuss the pros and cons of each during your consultation.
