"LOVE Half Moon Orthodontics! Amazing first time visit and I highly reccomend. We walked in and the receptionist was so sweet and helpful. She made the most thoughtful welcome sign which my son noticed immediately 🙂 The doctor came out and greeted us and took my sons x rays to get fitted for aligners. We ended up getting two sets for him and I am a former smile direct member so I will be coming here for my sets soon too."

Frequently Asked Questions

Children

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that your child have an orthodontic evaluation at the age of 7. At this age, we can identify concerns in the development of the teeth and jaws.

At your initial consultation, Dr. Mody will determine if any treatment is recommended. If treatment is not indicated, Dr. Mody will continue to monitor the growth and development of your child’s teeth and jaws over the course of a few years.

Early intervention at Half Moon Orthodontics can provide significant benefits:

Creates space for incoming permanent teeth
Prevents removal of permanent teeth
Corrects harmful oral habits, such as thumb-sucking
Redirects and guides jaw growth
Improves self-esteem and confidence
Makes it easier to brush and floss your teeth

Teens

The adolescent years (ages 10-17) are the most common time for orthodontic treatment because most adult teeth have come in by now. When you arrive for your first visit, we’ll talk through all of the treatment options we have available for you at Half Moon Orthodontics.

Although treatment times vary for each individual, Dr. Mody’s expertise and advanced technology will ensure your teen will finish treatment efficiently and smile confidently!

Adults

It is never too late to pursue a straighter, healthier smile! At Half Moon Orthodontics, we believe you are never too old to benefit from orthodontic treatment.

Proper alignment of your teeth and jaws contributes to excellent oral health and a beautiful smile. Orthodontics can also prevent other costly dental issues, such as tooth decay, gum disease, excessive wear of tooth enamel, bite discrepancies, and difficulty chewing.

Dr. Mody will work closely with your dentist to provide a comprehensive approach to your oral health. Our modern technology allows us to provide you with a comfortable solution to fit your busy lifestyle.
