Comprehensive Orthodontic Care for Every Smile in Fort Washington

At Fort Washington Orthodontics, we are proud to offer a full range of services designed to help patients of all ages achieve healthy, confident smiles. Whether you are exploring options for your child or ready to begin your own orthodontic journey, our team is here to guide you every step of the way. From cutting-edge clear aligners to time-tested metal braces, our services are tailored to meet your unique needs in a warm, modern environment where you always come first.

Orthodontic Treatments

Our orthodontic treatment services are at the heart of what we do. As a fee-for-service practice, we are able to focus entirely on delivering the highest quality care without the constraints of insurance networks, so every treatment plan is built around you, not a coverage limit.

Traditional Metal Braces

Metal braces remain one of the most effective and affordable options for correcting a wide range of orthodontic concerns. We use modern, low-profile brackets that are more comfortable than ever before, making this a popular choice for teens and adults alike.

Clear Aligners and Invisalign

We are proud to offer Invisalign, Invisalign for Teens, and a full range of clear aligner options. These virtually invisible, removable trays offer a discreet path to a straighter smile and fit seamlessly into your daily routine. Using our iTero digital scanner, we can create precise 3D treatment maps for accurate, comfortable, and efficient results.

Orthodontic Mouthguards

We also offer custom orthodontic mouthguards to protect your smile during sports and physical activity. Designed to fit over braces or aligners, these guards help prevent damage and keep your treatment on track.

Cosmetic Dentistry: Teeth Whitening

A straighter smile deserves to shine. That is why we offer professional teeth whitening services for patients who are currently in clear aligner treatment or who have recently completed their orthodontic journey. After working so hard on your alignment, whitening is a wonderful finishing touch that can elevate your results and boost your confidence.

Our whitening trays are custom-fabricated to fit your smile perfectly, ensuring even, comfortable, and effective results you will love. Ask our team about adding whitening to your treatment plan today.

Pediatric Dentistry Services

We believe that a healthy smile starts early. Our pediatric dentistry services focus on proactive care that sets children up for a lifetime of great oral health. As your neighborhood Fort Washington orthodontist, we love working with young patients and making their visits fun, positive, and stress-free.

Interceptive Orthodontics

Also known as Phase 1 orthodontics, interceptive treatment is designed for younger children, typically between ages 7 and 10, whose permanent teeth are still coming in. Early intervention can help guide jaw development, create room for incoming teeth, and correct bite issues before they become more complex. By addressing concerns at the right time, we can often reduce the length and complexity of treatment later on.

Space Maintainers

When a child loses a baby tooth earlier than expected, surrounding teeth can shift and block the space needed for permanent teeth to erupt properly. Space maintainers are small, custom appliances that hold the gap open until the permanent tooth is ready to come in. This simple, preventive service can save significant time and resources down the road.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Services

Do you accept dental insurance?

We are a fee-for-service practice, meaning we do not bill insurance directly. However, we are happy to assist you in understanding and maximizing your out-of-network orthodontic benefits. Many patients are pleasantly surprised by how much their plan covers. We also accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express to make payment as convenient as possible.

At what age should my child first see an orthodontist?

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have their first orthodontic evaluation around age 7. At this stage, our team can identify any developing issues and determine whether early interceptive treatment would be beneficial, or if it is better to monitor your child’s growth and begin treatment when the time is right.

How do I know which orthodontic treatment is right for me?

The best way to find out is to schedule a consultation with our team. We will evaluate your teeth, bite, and overall oral health, discuss your goals, and walk you through the options that make the most sense for your situation. Whether you are leaning toward Invisalign or traditional braces, we will make sure you feel confident and informed before any decision is made.

Can I whiten my teeth while wearing aligners?

Yes! One of the great advantages of clear aligner treatment is the flexibility to incorporate whitening. We offer custom whitening trays for patients in active aligner treatment and for those who have just completed their care. It is a great way to finish your treatment with a bright, polished result.
