Orthodontic Options for Highland Park Families
Rosen Orthodontics offers several orthodontic systems, and the right choice depends on your bite, lifestyle, and goals. Explore the full range on the types of braces page.
Traditional Metal Braces
Metal is the most time-tested option and may be a strong choice for more complex tooth movements. Today's systems are noticeably sleeker and more comfortable than older generations.
Clarity Advanced Clear Braces
Clarity Advanced clear ceramic appliances blend with the natural color of teeth, making them far less visible than metal. They are popular among teens and adults in professional settings who prefer a lower-profile look without giving up the control of fixed orthodontics. Learn more on the Clarity Advanced clear braces page.
Damon System
The Damon System uses a free-sliding mechanism that can reduce friction during tooth movement, which may mean fewer appointments and a more comfortable experience. Read about Damon braces to see if they suit your needs.
Lingual Appliances
Lingual appliances are placed behind the teeth and are invisible when you smile, making them an excellent fit for adults in Highland Park's active professional and social scene. More information is available on the lingual braces page.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are a series of removable, nearly invisible trays that gradually move teeth into place. They are a popular choice for teens and adults who want a discreet option that can be taken out for eating and cleaning. Your orthodontist will confirm whether aligners suit your bite and goals.
How Long Does Treatment Take?
Most patients can expect active treatment to last 12 to 24 months, though some cases may be shorter or longer. After the appliances come off, retainers help maintain results. Learn more about retention and what to expect after treatment ends.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
- Attend your complimentary consultation, where everything is completed in one visit: digital scans map your bite and tooth positions precisely, you preview your smile, and Dr. Kristina Sakas Katz or Dr. Ben Belavsky reviews your personalized treatment plan, including options, timing, and financial details.
- Have your appliances placed at your fitting appointment, typically taking one to two hours.
- Attend periodic adjustment visits throughout treatment and transition to retainers at the end.
