Orthodontic Services for San Tan Ranch Residents

Macdonald Orthodontics provides six core orthodontic services for San Tan Ranch patients: metal braces, clear braces, Invisalign, two-phase treatment, surgical orthodontics, and retainers. From mild crowding to complex bite corrections, your orthodontist has a treatment that fits. Here’s a quick look at our services:

• Traditional metal braces
• Clear braces
• Invisalign for kids, teens, and adults
• Two-phase treatment and dentofacial orthopedics
• Surgical orthodontics
• Retainers and custom mouthguards

These are just some of the ways we make you smile. Below, you’ll find more detail on each option.

Traditional Metal Braces

Metal braces remain one of the most effective treatments available. They work for mild crowding, complex bite issues, and everything in between. Today’s brackets are smaller and more comfortable than they used to be, so the experience is better than you might expect. Learn more about braces on our full service page.

Clear Braces

Want something less noticeable? Clear braces use tooth-colored brackets that blend with your smile. You get the same reliable results with a more discreet look. They’re a popular pick for teens and adults who want effective treatment without the metallic appearance.

Invisalign

Not sure about braces? Invisalign aligners are the clear alternative! We offer Invisalign for kids, teens, and adults. These removable aligners fit your lifestyle and let you eat, brush, and floss without brackets or wires.

Two-Phase Treatment

Early treatment guides jaw growth and prevents bigger issues down the road. Two-phase treatment and dentofacial orthopedics help our doctors shape proper development in younger patients, often reducing the need for more involved treatment later.

Additional Services

• Surgical orthodontics for complex jaw alignment
• Retainers that keep your results in place
• Custom mouthguards if you play sports

Our doctors focus on how your bite works and how your smile looks. Your plan will match your goals, your schedule, and your budget.

Frequently Asked Questions About Your San Tan Ranch Orthodontist

What age should my child first see an orthodontist?

According to the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO), children should have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. Our doctors can spot developing issues early and plan treatment at the right time. Many kids won’t need treatment that young, but catching things early can save time and money later.

How much do braces or Invisalign cost near San Tan Ranch?

Treatment costs vary based on your specific needs and the type of appliance you choose. Request a free consult where we’ll give you a clear breakdown of costs with no surprises. Most insurance plans are accepted, and low monthly payment options help make treatment affordable for your family.

How long do braces or Invisalign take?

Most patients wear braces or aligners for 12 to 24 months. Your timeline depends on the specifics of your case and how well you follow your treatment plan. During your first visit, your orthodontist will give you a realistic estimate based on your situation.

Does Macdonald Orthodontics accept my insurance?

Most major dental insurance plans are accepted. Our team will verify your benefits before treatment begins so you know exactly what’s covered. We also work to get the most out of your plan so you pay less out of pocket.

What is the difference between braces and Invisalign?

Braces use brackets and wires that stay on throughout treatment and work well for all case types. Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners you switch every few weeks, offering more flexibility but requiring wear most of the day and night (Invisalign recommends 20 to 22 hours per day).

Feature	Braces	Invisalign
Visibility	Metal or tooth-colored brackets	Nearly invisible aligners
Removable	No	Yes, for eating and brushing
Best for	All case types	Mild to moderate cases
Wear time	Always on	Most of the day and night

Your orthodontist will help you decide which option works best based on your teeth, your lifestyle, and your goals.
