Orthodontists should always be professional and timely. They must evaluate all of your issues. But great orthodontists like Dr. Ricarda work to get you the best price possible by coordinating with insurance providers. While all orthodontists are able to simply fix major oral problems, like underbite, crossbite, deep bite, open bite, crowding, spacing and protrusion, orthodontists like Dr. Ricarda understands that a healthy smile leads to your best self. That’s why she will go above and beyond. At Prentice Orthodontics, fixing your oral health issues is our top priority.

All of the patients at Prentice Orthodontics begin their first visit with a comprehensive evaluation of their overall oral health. Starting with the gums and teeth, the exam will include assessments of alignment, bite, facial balance, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) to ensure that every issue can be corrected through the course of treatment. We know that oral procedures can be intimidating, so we make every effort to provide a welcoming and comfortable office experience, while providing state-of-the art orthodontic treatments.

We’re happy to provide any different type of service to suit your orthodontic needs — from early treatment as a child, to clear aligners like Invisalign as an adult. For your child, it may seem unnecessary to visit your orthodontist before they are a teenager, but sometimes children’s orthodontic issues can be addressed at an earlier age to prevent some major problems as they get older. Early treatment is a great way to stay on top of orthodontic issues and provide treatment gradually, monitoring changes over time and improving the overall structure of the mouth and alignment of teeth.

At Prentice Orthodontics, we welcome patients of any age, from children to adults. We offer do-able treatment options for everyone, from children to teens to adults. For the younger patients, we have early treatment plans which can eliminate or correct underlying issues before they become bigger problems as well as have more time for preparation of later treatment. Some children do not require early treatment but will require Phase II, early adolescent treatment. This is the typical time for patients to get braces or begin more major corrective treatments. As an adult, you may not think that correction is possible or would be too daunting of an undertaking, but with developments like Invisalign, a perfect smile might be closer to achieving than you know.

Our office is welcoming, comfortable, and provides state-of-the-art orthodontic treatments With all of our new patients, we encourage asking questions to help you understand the process of treatment and gain a clearer idea of expectations during your first visit. Dr. Prentice encourages patients to ask questions and review some of the resources we provide to help make you feel more confident in our approach to your care, including common problems you may encounter, how to best clean and care for your teeth, as well as some foods to avoid while undergoing treatment. By becoming aware of these resources, you can be better prepared and know what to expect from your treatment plan.
