Personalized orthodontic treatments for all ages

Many of our patients ask us about the best time to start braces or Invisalign treatment, and it depends on the individual. The most common age to begin treatment is between the ages of 12 and 16 years, but the benefits of orthodontics extend far beyond any one age group.

Unless referred by a dentist even earlier, we suggest that parents schedule their child’s first orthodontic evaluation around the age of seven. This is the ideal time to catch any problems that may require early corrective treatment. And even if you’ve missed the teenage years, it’s never too late to experience the benefits of straighter teeth and a stunning smile. We treat a growing number of adults with braces and Invisalign who are ready to experience the health and aesthetic benefits of a beautiful, confident smile.

Discover the treatment option that’s ideal for you with a no-cost consultation. We’ll provide a complimentary orthodontist exam, free digital X-rays and scan, and a detailed braces or Invisalign treatment plan, designed especially for you.

Here’s what our patients have to say

Mollie L.

I love all of the girls that work at Kristo Ortho! They have made the last 8 years amazing and I love that my smile now represents my personality.

Juliea Ann W.

Kristo Orthodontics staff are always very kind and understanding. They will make you feel welcome and give the best care they can. They’re not afraid to communicate with their patients, which I appreciate. My favorite part about their treatment is the communication and productivity. They’re always on top of things and get things done quickly and efficiently.

Evan P.

Great staff!! Kristo treats my son and makes him feel very comfortable, like he is the only child there.

Caden B.
