If you’re a parent, you know the feeling: juggling appointments, financial decisions, and trying to do right by your kid, even when it’s tough. Maybe your dentist recommended someone else. Maybe your first experience wasn’t great. And now you’re searching for an office that just gets it, one that feels like it’s on your side.

We see you. And you’re in the right place.

Got Questions? We’ve Got You.

Here are answers to some common questions about our orthodontic services and care.

What are orthodontic braces?

Braces are orthodontic appliances designed to align teeth and resolve bite problems. They are made up of brackets, wires, and bands that collaborate to slowly move teeth into the correct position. At Dr. Wax Orthodontics, we provide different types of braces customized to suit your requirements.

Every smile is different, but we offer flexible plans to make care accessible to all families.

Yes! We use virtual monitoring for clear aligner patients, so you can check in from anywhere.

Totally normal. We create a relaxed, fun environment that helps kids (and parents) feel at ease.
