Orthodontics
Misaligned teeth can make us embarrassed to smile, but they can also lead to serious oral health problems.
Orthodontics can straighten your teeth, boosting your confidence and preventing oral health problems from developing.

Our dentists have the advanced training needed for expert orthodontics. No matter which of our offices you choose, Elite Dental Care offers orthodontic care tailored to your unique needs. With all your treatment under one roof, you avoid the complications that come with referrals to an outside orthodontist.
Traditional braces use metal brackets, wires, and rubber bands to straighten teeth. Our dentist will carefully tighten the braces over the course of your treatment, slowly moving your teeth into their ideal positions. Though traditional metal braces are noticeable and can take 12 to 24 months or more to reposition teeth, they are often the best option in cases of severe misalignment.
Invisalign® is a discreet orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear aligner trays to reposition teeth over 12 to 18 months. This is a popular option because the trays can be removed when eating or being cleaned and during special occasions.
Patients with minor misalignment who can commit to wearing their aligner trays for 22 hours each day are the best candidates for this treatment.
Your Elite Dental Care doctor at one of our Western Tennessee locations can determine which orthodontic options will work best for your specific dental health needs and cosmetic goals.
The Orthodontic Process
Just like orthodontists, our doctors in Western Tennessee are knowledgeable about orthodontics and which types of braces are suitable in each case. You or your child can undergo your entire treatment without having to familiarize yourself with an outside orthodontist.
Your treatment timeline will include several steps:
Our mission is to provide patients with the kind of caring and compassionate dental treatment that we would want to receive.
Are You Ready for a Dazzling Smile?
Maintaining Your Results
Following your orthodontic treatment, you'll have to use a retainer to hold your teeth in place as the bone heals around them, securing them in their new position. Your doctor may provide you with a retainer and instructions on how to use it. You may have to wear it for several hours each day and every night indefinitely. Failure to wear the retainer may result in your teeth shifting into their original, misaligned position.
If you've received Invisalign, your final aligner trays may be used as a retainer.
Paying for Your Orthodontics
Dental Insurance
All of our Elite Dental Care locations accept a wide range of dental insurance plans to keep orthodontic treatment affordable in Jackson and throughout Western Tennessee. Our friendly staff members will work directly with your provider to ensure that you're getting the most out of your coverage.
Financing
Orthodontics may not be covered by insurance for those over the age of 18, so our staff at Elite Dental Care works with CareCredit® to help patients manage out-of-pocket costs. CareCredit allows patients to pay for their treatment in affordable monthly installments.
Shouldn't I Seek Treatment With an Orthodontist?
Though orthodontists are known for correcting misalignment, you can receive quality orthodontic treatment from the doctors at any of our practices, including our offices in Jackson, Trenton, and Germantown. Like orthodontists, our doctors have undergone extensive training in this field and we offer the same kind of quality dental care. In addition to providing orthodontics, we also perform a wide variety of other dental procedures that contribute to overall oral health.
