Braces or clear aligners?
Braces handle every case, including complex bites, and need no discipline from the patient. Clear aligners are removable and nearly invisible but work best for mild to moderate crowding and only when worn 20 to 22 hours a day. At the free consultation our Elmwood Park orthodontic team tells you which is realistic for your teeth.
Signs it is time for an orthodontic check:
- Crowded, crooked or gapped teeth
- Teeth that do not meet properly when biting
- Jaw pain or clicking, or wear on the front teeth
- A child aged seven or older who has not had an orthodontic check
- Teeth that have shifted after old braces

Orthodontics FAQs for Elmwood Park patients
At what age should a child first see an orthodontist?
Around age seven, when the first adult molars are in. Most children do not need treatment yet, but early checks catch jaw and bite problems while they are easiest to correct.
How long does treatment take?
Most braces and aligner cases take 12 to 24 months; Fastbraces and limited aligner cases can be shorter. Your Elmwood Park orthodontic team gives an estimate at the consultation.
Am I too old for braces?
No. Healthy teeth and gums can be moved at any age, and clear aligners make adult treatment discreet.
Does insurance cover orthodontics?
Many PPO plans include an orthodontic benefit, often with a lifetime maximum. We check your plan and apply it to your estimate.
Can I pay monthly?
Yes. NÜVA Smile Elmwood Park offers monthly payment plans for braces and aligners.
