Straight answers to the questions you actually ask us, written by the orthodontist who answers them in the office.

Most orthodontic questions get asked in the chair, answered in two minutes, and then asked again by the next family that week. Writing the answers down, where you can read them before your visit rather than after, seemed more useful than repeating them.
The topics come from what people actually search for and what actually comes up at consultations, which turn out to be much the same thing. Cost dominates both by a wide margin, and it is the subject the profession is least forthcoming about, so that is where this starts.
Posts are written by Dr. Rosenbloom rather than commissioned, which means they arrive at the pace one working orthodontist can manage. Fewer and slower, but at least accurate.
Cost and financing. The most-asked and least-answered topic in orthodontics. Our cost page carries our own terms so you can read them before you call; posts here cover the wider picture.
Timing. When to start, when to wait, and why the answer for a seven-year-old is usually to wait. See early orthodontic treatment.
Treatment options. How braces and Invisalign actually differ, beyond appearance.
Living with treatment. The practical side, covered in more depth on living with braces.
Insurance and coverage. How orthodontic benefits actually work, including the parts that surprise people, on insurance and financial policies.
