The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic check-up by age seven. Most children that age do not need treatment yet. However, the visit lets Dr. Beth watch how permanent teeth and the jaw are developing, so anything that does need correcting is caught while it is still simple.

No. You can book a free consultation at Beth’s Braces directly, online or by calling (702) 706-2468. Many patients are referred by their general dentist, but a referral is not required in Nevada and it will not change your fee.

Your total depends on how much movement your case needs and how long treatment runs, so we quote an exact figure at your free consultation. We offer monthly payment plans at 0% APR with no credit check, and we apply your orthodontic insurance benefit first. Our cost and financing guide explains what changes the price.

Most Invisalign cases finish in six to eighteen months. Braces generally run eighteen to twenty-four months. Simple crowding can resolve faster, while significant bite correction takes longer. Dr. Beth gives you a projected timeline in writing before you commit to anything.

For mild to moderate crowding, spacing and bite issues, yes. However, not every case is a candidate. Complex bite corrections and significant rotations are often handled better with fixed braces. Dr. Beth confirms candidacy from your 3D scan, and she will tell you if aligners are not the right tool. See our Invisalign vs braces comparison.

Expect mild pressure or tenderness for a day or two after braces are placed, after each adjustment and when you switch to a new set of aligners. It usually fades quickly, and over-the-counter pain relief is generally enough. Sharp or lasting pain is not normal, so call us if that happens.

Braces patients typically come in every four to eight weeks. Invisalign patients come in every six to eight weeks. We reserve early-morning and after-school times for school-age patients, so appointments interrupt class as little as possible.

Often, yes. If you are getting metal or clear braces and your dentist has cleared you, we can bond brackets the same day. For Invisalign we take the lab scan that day, and your first set of aligners arrives about four weeks later.

You move into retention. Retainers hold your teeth in their new positions while the surrounding bone and tissue settle. For the first year we recommend wearing them essentially full time, then most patients switch to nights only. Skipping retention is the most common reason a good result drifts. If yours is lost or broken, see our retainer replacement page.

Many dental plans include a separate lifetime orthodontic benefit, often for dependent children and sometimes for adults. We accept most major plans, verify your benefit before treatment starts and apply it to your total, so you know your real out-of-pocket figure up front. Details are on our insurance page.

Start with four questions. First, is the provider a true orthodontic specialist with an accredited residency? Will you see the orthodontist at every visit? Is the price quoted in writing before you commit? Will they tell you when a treatment is not worth doing? You can confirm any Nevada license through the Nevada State Board of Dental Examiners. Dr. Beth completed a full orthodontic residency at Roseman University of Health Sciences.
