WHAT ABOUT EATING? ARE THERE ANY LIMITATIONS?
Aside from avoiding chewing on very hard things (eg. ice cubes), your food choices will not change during treatment!
DO THE BRACES AFFECT MY SPEECH?
We have worked closely with a speech therapist to provide some simple, homecare exercises to more quickly become accustomed to speaking with braces and aligners, so the transition into your treatment becomes very smooth.
IS IT EASY TO KEEP MY TEETH CLEAN?
Yes! We will provide you with everything you need to maintain clean teeth during your treatment, as well as working with you on the simple techniques to be successful.

While you will get the most accurate pricing if you come in for a free consultation, you’ll be relieved to know that our fees are all inclusive and range between $3250 to $9000. Where your treatment falls within that price range is dependent on the severity of your case and duration of treatment period. Both of these will be evaluated and explained to you by Dr. Danyluk. In addition, we have an all-inclusive accelerated treatment option which can help cut the total treatment time in half!
DO YOU OFFER FINANCING OPTIONS?
Yes! We offer interest-free financing to all of our patients.
ART MEETS TECHNOLOGY IN CREATING YOUR SMILE
The “artisan” or “bespoke” nature of your smile transformation process is something that Dr. Danyluk has incorporated in his co-planning with our patients throughout his career. He understands that no two people’s mouths are the same and every set of hidden braces will require its own unique plan and process.
There are many factors that go into devising and planning what hidden braces options are best for your teeth. Important factors we take into account when planning a smile transformation, creation, or makever are: smile width, tooth shape, smile brightness, tooth show at rest and smiling, lip fullness, balanced smile symmetry, and harmony with the overall smile. By positioning the teeth in exact positions, we can frame the lips, creating symmetry and regaining a youthful fullness to your smile.
Couple this with Dr. Danyluk’s past experience as a cosmetic dentist, where he spent years evaluating and ensuring tooth shape, balanced smile symmetry and state-of-the-art tooth whitening techniques, and you have a recipe for a beautiful smile creation along with a healthy bite. Many have even referred to his practice as “anti-aging orthodontics” as you’ll be looking and feeling younger in no time!
HOME CARE INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR NEW HIDDEN BRACES
You may find that over the next few days your teeth, gums, cheeks and tongue may be tender, and that you are producing more saliva than usual. This is all very normal and discomfort should subside in 3-5 days. Here are a few helpful hints to make the transition smoother for you:
1. Avoid any hard or sticky foods (i.e. caramel, taffy, corn chips, nuts, ice, etc.) Make sure all meats are cut off the bone and fresh fruits and vegetables are cut up into small pieces. The adhesive that we use is very strong, however, excessive force when chewing, particularly when teeth are initially moving may cause the adhesive and braces to become loose. If you feel a significant amount of resistance when chewing, do not bite harder, ease off on the biting pressure.
2. Proper oral hygiene is very important in order to prevent any cavities and scarring of the teeth Team orthodontics has provided you with the proper tools to maintain excellent oral hygiene. All of these items can be located in most stores, however if you are unable to find them Team Orthodontics can provide it for you. It is also recommended that you rinse with a fluoride once a day to prevent decay and scarring of teeth.
3. There may be times during your treatment that brackets can come loose &/or arch wires may begin to poke If this occurs, contact our office so that we can make you comfortable. The assistants have gone over how to use wax or Gishy Goo and suggested Tylenol or Ibuprofen for any discomfort. We also suggest our miracle rinse which is equal parts of water, liquid Benadryl, and liquid antacid which should be swished in the mouth 3 times a day. You may also chew sugarless gum to help relieve some of the tension in your teeth.
4. Dr. Danyluk will be giving you a call within the next week to check on your progress If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to ask him at that time. If you have an emergency after hours you may call or text Dr. Danyluk at 480-329-7281. Please remember that the vast majority of emergencies will not affect your treatment time.
