Frequently Asked Questions About Our West Hartford, CT Area Orthodontic Practice

Is Invisalign better than braces?

For most patients, Invisalign is just as effective as braces, so deciding which option is better comes down to your lifestyle and personal preferences. Patients who prefer a discreet treatment option or one that can be removed for eating and brushing choose Invisalign. Younger patients who sometimes have trouble wearing their aligners as directed may be better off with traditional braces.

Are lingual braces worth it?

If you’re looking for a discreet orthodontic solution but Invisalign isn’t right for you, lingual braces are worth it. They’re affixed to the backs of your teeth instead of the fronts, so no one will know you’re wearing them!

When should a child see an orthodontist?

It’s recommended that children first see an orthodontist around the age of 7, but your child may be referred to our office earlier if their dentist has concerns. Most children don’t need to begin orthodontic treatment at this age, but this is the right time to begin closely monitoring their jaw development.

At what age is it too late to get braces?

It’s never too late to get braces! As long as your teeth and gums are healthy, you are a candidate for braces or Invisalign.

What is early orthodontic treatment?

Early orthodontic treatment is a more proactive approach to orthodontics that involves influencing proper jaw development while it’s still growing, as opposed to waiting for the jaw to fuse and then addressing any problems that have formed. Early orthodontic treatment is more effective and yields better patient outcomes.

“Wonderful experience! Dr. Cos and his staff were professional, accommodating and always smiling. My oldest had his braces on for just a year and my daughter will be the same. Dr. Cos always consulted with me and my kids before doing anything. My kids love going to see the office because the staff was gentle and listened to their concerns. In this hard time I felt nothing but comfort knowing that Dr. Cos and staff would take care of them as I was not able to enter. If you are looking for a welcoming and professional office for yourself or kids this is the place to go!!”

“If you’re looking for an Orthodontist for your child’s treatment for braces this is the place to go. I brought my son here because his upper teeth were growing in sideways and I was told by his school nurse at the time to have him see an Orthodontist. Dr. Cos did such an amazing job with his teeth that I would recommend you to bring your child here for their braces treatment. The process from beginning to end was just amazing! So don’t wait to book a consultation today!”
