Improves the Long-Term Health of Your Smile
Orthodontic treatment straightens crooked teeth, closes gaps, corrects bite issues, and improves the long-term health of your smile by making teeth easier to clean and less prone to wear.
At Dental Care of Stamford, our orthodontic team works with adults who want a discreet, efficient path to straighter teeth — without the bulky metal brackets most patients remember from childhood. Because our orthodontists are part of the same building as our general, cosmetic, and restorative dentists, we can coordinate orthodontic treatment with whitening, veneers, or implants when needed.

Why Choose Dental Care Stamford for Your Orthodontic Treatment?
Many general dentists in Stamford refer patients to an outside orthodontist for clear braces or adult orthodontic treatment. That can mean multiple offices, separate billing systems, extra appointments, and a referral process that may slow down your care.
At Dental Care Stamford, adult orthodontic treatment is coordinated in the same building as your general dentists, cosmetic dental experts, restorative dental team, and dental specialists. That means your smile is evaluated as a whole — not just tooth movement, but your bite, dental health, cosmetic goals, missing teeth, gum health, veneers, implants, and long-term results.
If your clear braces treatment needs to be combined with other dental care, such as closing gaps from missing teeth, aligning teeth before veneers, improving your bite, or preparing your mouth for dental implants, our team can collaborate on one personalized treatment plan.
With Dental Care Stamford, you get one coordinated team, one point of contact, one billing system, and one clear timeline designed around your smile goals.

Candidacy: Who Benefits From Orthodontics?
Orthodontic treatment is appropriate for adults and teens with crowded teeth, gaps, protruding or tipped teeth, overbites, underbites, crossbites, or open bites. The right system depends on the complexity of your case. Mild to moderate crowding and spacing typically work well with Invisalign or 6-Month Smiles. More complex bite issues may require traditional braces or a combination approach. We identify the right path at your consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Invisalign and clear aligners typically range from $3,500 to $7,500 depending on case complexity. 6-Month Smiles usually falls between $3,500 and $5,000.

Most adult clear aligner cases are completed in 12 to 18 months. 6-Month Smiles, as the name suggests, typically takes about six months.

Neither is universally better — it depends on the case. Invisalign is more discreet and removable, which many adults prefer. Traditional braces can correct more complex bite issues and may be faster for certain movements. Our orthodontists recommend the system that will deliver the best result for your specific teeth.
Many dental insurance plans include orthodontic coverage with a lifetime maximum, typically between $1,500 and $3,000. Coverage varies significantly by plan and age. We verify your orthodontic benefits before treatment begins and submit claims directly on your behalf.
No. Roughly one in four orthodontic patients today is an adult. As long as your teeth and gums are healthy, there is no age limit on orthodontic treatment. In fact, adult orthodontics is one of the fastest-growing areas in our practice, driven largely by clear aligners.
