Treatment Timing

Orthodontics is a change for the better and can be successful at any age. Although we place special emphasis on interceptive and corrective procedures for children, about 40% of our practice is made up of adults. Treatment is so simple, convenient, and affordable that individuals from childhood through retirement can reap its important benefits. We have patients from as young as 3 years old to as young at heart as 67, with all ages in between.

The timing of treatment is very important in obtaining an ideal result. The overriding goal of treatment in our office is to reduce the length of time that you will have your braces on. We pride ourselves on having the shortest treatment times possible and you will find that we are able to complete your orthodontic correction much faster than what is common in other practices. A critical part of achieving this goal is proper timing in placing your braces. Our Pre-Orthodontics Guidance Program allows us to time your treatment so that you will have your braces on the shortest amount of time possible to achieve a beautiful result.

The Pre-Orthodontic Guidance Program includes all of the examinations, the necessary radiographs to assess growth and development and skeletal jaw balance, and any indicated prescriptions regarding possible removal of baby or permanent teeth. The fee for this program will be applied to the future active treatment - there is no additional charge for this service.

We take pride in completing your treatment on time and in having the shortest overall treatment times compared to what is common in other orthodontic practices. In fact, many of our patients find that their braces can be removed earlier than expected. The key is treatment timing, which Dr. Cordray takes very seriously. He will treat you or your child like he would his wife or daughters: with ultimate respect for your time.
