Comprehensive Orthodontic Services Offered
At Excel Dental, we offer a wide range of orthodontic services to address various dental concerns. Our goal is to provide comprehensive care that meets the needs of patients of all ages. Whether you require traditional braces, clear aligners, or specialized treatments, we have you covered.
Traditional braces are a popular and effective option for correcting misaligned teeth and bite issues. They are suitable for patients of all ages and can address a wide range of orthodontic problems. Our team will guide you through the process, ensuring that you are comfortable and informed every step of the way.
For those seeking a more discreet option, we offer clear aligners such as Invisalign. These virtually invisible aligners are custom-made to fit your teeth and gradually shift them into the desired position. Clear aligners are removable, making them a convenient choice for patients who prefer flexibility in their orthodontic treatment.
In addition to braces and clear aligners, we provide specialized treatments such as early intervention for children, orthodontic appliances for jaw alignment, and retainers to maintain the results of your treatment. Our comprehensive services ensure that we can address a wide range of orthodontic needs and help you achieve a healthy, beautiful smile.
Advanced Technology for Optimal Results
At Excel Dental, we are committed to staying at the forefront of orthodontic technology to provide our patients with the best possible care. We utilize advanced diagnostic tools and treatment techniques to ensure optimal results and a comfortable experience for our patients.
One of the key technologies we use is digital imaging. Digital X-rays and 3D imaging allow us to obtain detailed and accurate images of your teeth and jaw. This enables us to diagnose issues more precisely and plan your treatment with greater accuracy. Digital imaging also reduces radiation exposure, making it a safer option for our patients.
We also employ computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology to create custom orthodontic appliances. This technology allows us to design and fabricate braces, aligners, and other appliances with a high degree of precision. The result is a more comfortable fit and more effective treatment outcomes.
In addition to diagnostic and treatment technologies, we use advanced software to simulate treatment outcomes. This allows us to show you a visual representation of how your teeth will move and what your smile will look like after treatment. It helps you make informed decisions about your orthodontic care and sets realistic expectations.
Our commitment to advanced technology ensures that you receive the highest standard of care at Excel Dental. We continuously invest in the latest innovations to enhance your treatment experience and achieve the best possible results.
Personalized Treatment Plans for Every Patient
Every patient is unique, and so are their orthodontic needs. At Excel Dental, we believe in providing personalized treatment plans that are tailored to each individual’s specific requirements. From the initial consultation to the completion of your treatment, we take the time to understand your goals and develop a plan that works for you.
During your first visit, we will conduct a comprehensive examination to assess your dental and orthodontic needs. This includes taking digital X-rays, photographs, and impressions of your teeth. Based on this information, we will create a customized treatment plan that addresses your specific concerns and goals.
We understand that orthodontic treatment is a significant investment of time and resources. Therefore, we take a collaborative approach, involving you in the decision-making process. We will discuss the available treatment options, the expected duration of treatment, and the associated costs. Our goal is to ensure that you are fully informed and comfortable with your treatment plan.
Throughout your treatment, we will monitor your progress closely and make any necessary adjustments to ensure optimal results. We are committed to providing ongoing support and guidance, answering any questions you may have, and addressing any concerns that arise. Your satisfaction and well-being are our top priorities.
Success Stories: Transformations by Dr. Cindy Li
One of the most rewarding aspects of my work as an orthodontist is witnessing the incredible transformations that my patients undergo. Over the years, I have had the privilege of helping countless individuals achieve beautiful, healthy smiles. Here are a few success stories that highlight the impact of orthodontic treatment at Excel Dental.
One of my patients, Sarah, came to us with severe crowding and misalignment of her teeth. She was self-conscious about her smile and hesitant to show her teeth in photos. After a thorough evaluation, we decided on a treatment plan that included traditional braces. Over the course of 18 months, Sarah’s teeth gradually shifted into their proper positions. The transformation was remarkable, and Sarah’s confidence soared. She now proudly shows off her beautiful smile.
Another patient, Michael, had a significant overbite that affected his bite and overall oral health. We opted for clear aligners to address his concerns. The aligners were comfortable and virtually invisible, allowing Michael to maintain his professional appearance. After 12 months of treatment, Michael’s overbite was corrected, and his smile was perfectly aligned. He was thrilled with the results and grateful for the discreet treatment option.
We also had the pleasure of treating Emily, a young patient with early signs of jaw misalignment. Early intervention was crucial to prevent more severe issues in the future. We used orthodontic appliances to guide the growth of her jaw and ensure proper alignment. Emily’s treatment was a success, and her parents were relieved to see her smile develop beautifully.
These success stories are just a few examples of the positive impact that orthodontic treatment can have on our patients’ lives. At Excel Dental, we are dedicated to helping you achieve your best smile and improving your overall quality of life.

FAQ
Q: What is the best age to start orthodontic treatment?
A: The best age to start orthodontic treatment varies depending on the individual. However, the American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. Early evaluation allows us to identify potential issues and determine the best time to start treatment.
Q: How long does orthodontic treatment typically take?
A: The duration of orthodontic treatment depends on the complexity of the case and the type of treatment chosen. On average, treatment with braces or clear aligners can take anywhere from 12 to 24 months. During your consultation, we will provide you with an estimated timeline based on your specific needs.
Q: Are clear aligners as effective as traditional braces?
A: Yes, clear aligners such as Invisalign are effective for many orthodontic cases. They are particularly suitable for mild to moderate misalignment and bite issues. During your consultation, we will assess your case and determine if clear aligners are the right option for you.
Q: Do braces hurt?
A: It is common to experience some discomfort or soreness when braces are first applied or adjusted. This discomfort is usually mild and temporary. Over-the-counter pain relievers and orthodontic wax can help alleviate any discomfort. Most patients adjust to their braces within a few days.
Q: How often will I need to visit the orthodontist during treatment?
A: Regular visits are essential to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments. Typically, patients visit the orthodontist every 4 to 8 weeks. These appointments allow us to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned and to address any concerns you may have.
Q: Can adults benefit from orthodontic treatment?
A: Absolutely! Orthodontic treatment is not limited to children and teenagers. Many adults seek orthodontic care to improve their smile and oral health. We offer a range of treatment options, including clear aligners, that are well-suited for adult patients.
Q: How do I care for my braces or aligners?
A: Proper care is essential to ensure the success of your orthodontic treatment. For braces, it is important to maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly. Avoiding hard, sticky, or sugary foods can also help prevent damage to your braces. For clear aligners, follow the instructions provided for cleaning and wearing them as directed.
Q: Will I need to wear a retainer after my treatment?
A: Yes, wearing a retainer is crucial to maintaining the results of your orthodontic treatment. Retainers help keep your teeth in their new positions and prevent them from shifting back. We will provide you with a retainer and instructions on how to wear and care for it.
