Your Antioch Orthodontic Treatment Process Step-by-Step
Here's how treatment works at Hann Orthodontics. The process includes five clear steps: a free exam or virtual consultation, digital imaging to map your treatment plan, a same-day start when you're ready, regular check-in visits to monitor progress, and a retention phase to keep your new smile stable for the long term.
Step 1: Free Exam or Virtual Consultation
Your first visit is completely free. Dr. Frank or Dr. Kristen will examine your teeth, discuss your concerns, and answer all your questions. For those who prefer to start from home, our virtual exam option lets you connect with us online.
Step 2: Digital Imaging and Custom Treatment Plan
Digital photographs and digital x-rays show us exactly what's happening with your teeth and jaw. Using this information, your orthodontist creates a treatment plan designed specifically for you.
Step 3: Same-Day Treatment Start
Your time is valuable. That's why we make it easy to start your smile on the same day as your free consultation. If you're ready and your treatment plan is complete, we can begin right away.
Step 4: Regular Check-Ins and Progress Monitoring
Throughout treatment, you'll visit our office periodically so we can adjust your braces or check your aligner progress. These appointments are quick and keep everything on track.
Step 5: Retention Phase
Once teeth are in their new positions, you'll wear a retainer to keep them there. This final phase protects your investment and helps your beautiful smile last.
Treatment Timelines
Most patients wear braces or aligners for 12 to 24 months, though some cases finish sooner. During your free exam, Dr. Frank or Dr. Kristen will give you a realistic timeline based on your specific needs.
Who Is a Candidate for Orthodontic Treatment?
Almost anyone who wants a straighter smile can benefit from orthodontic treatment. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. At this age, enough permanent teeth have emerged to spot developing issues like crowding, crossbites, or jaw growth concerns. Early evaluation doesn't always mean early treatment, but it gives your orthodontist the chance to monitor growth and act at the right time. We see Antioch children, teens, and adults across all stages of life.
Children (Ages 7+)
Early evaluations catch issues before they become more complex. Some kids benefit from Phase 1 treatment to guide jaw development. Learn more about age-based care on our orthodontics for all ages page.
Teens
The teenage years remain the most popular time for braces. We offer metal braces, clear braces, and Invisalign Teen to fit different preferences and lifestyles.
Adults
More adults than ever are choosing orthodontic treatment. Clear aligners and clear braces offer discreet options that fit professional and social lives.
Common Issues We Treat
- Crowding and overlapping teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Overbite, underbite, and crossbite
- Teeth that don't meet properly when biting
Have you had previous dental work? Complex cases are welcome. Dr. Frank and Dr. Kristen have the specialty training to work with bridges, implants, and other restorations. Your free exam will determine which treatment option fits your situation best.

Frequently Asked Questions About Antioch Orthodontics
How much do braces or Invisalign cost in Antioch?
Treatment costs vary widely based on case complexity and the type of braces or aligners chosen. Orthodontic treatment is typically a multi-thousand-dollar investment, but our flexible payment plans break the cost into manageable monthly amounts. During your free exam, we'll provide a clear cost estimate. Many families are surprised by how affordable orthodontic care can be with our no money down options.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
Most treatments take between 12 and 24 months, though some cases finish in as few as 6 months. Your timeline depends on what we're correcting and how your teeth respond. Dr. Frank or Dr. Kristen will give you a realistic estimate at your free consultation.
Does insurance cover orthodontic treatment?
Many dental insurance plans include orthodontic benefits. We help file claims on your behalf to maximize your coverage. Bring your insurance information to your free exam, and we'll explain exactly what's covered.
What's the difference between Invisalign and braces?
Metal braces use brackets and wires attached to your teeth. They work well for all types of corrections. Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners that are nearly invisible. You can take them out to eat and brush. Both options work well, and we'll help you decide which fits your lifestyle.
| Feature | Metal Braces | Invisalign |
|---|---|---|
| Visibility | Noticeable | Nearly invisible |
| Removable | No | Yes |
| Eating restrictions | Some foods to avoid | None (remove to eat) |
| Cleaning | Requires extra care | Easy (remove to brush) |
| Best for | Complex corrections | Mild to moderate cases |
At what age should my child see an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an evaluation by age 7. This doesn't mean your child will need braces right away. Early visits let us monitor development and catch issues before they grow into bigger ones.
Do you offer virtual consultations?
Yes! Our virtual exam option lets you connect with Dr. Frank or Dr. Kristen from home. It's a convenient first step if you have a busy schedule or want to explore your options before visiting our office.
