Braces Options
Clear Aligner Treatment
Invisalign works well for teens and adults who prefer a removable, nearly invisible option. You can eat what you want, brush normally, and smile confidently throughout treatment. Many guests appreciate that Invisalign fits easily into busy school, work, and family schedules without the dietary restrictions that come with traditional braces.
Early Treatment for Children
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. Phase 1 treatment can address developing issues like crossbites, crowding, or jaw growth concerns before they become harder to correct. Early evaluation gives our team a chance to monitor growth patterns and recommend the right timing for any treatment your child may need down the road.

Frequently Asked Questions from Citrus Heights Patients
How much do braces cost in Citrus Heights, CA?
Braces in Citrus Heights typically range based on case complexity, treatment length, and the type of braces you choose. At Sunrise Orthodontics, we discuss exact pricing during your free consult and offer $185/month plans to make care manageable. Many families find orthodontic care more affordable than expected once they explore financing options and review their insurance benefits with our team.
At what age should my child see an orthodontist?
Children should first see an orthodontist by age 7. At this age, enough permanent teeth have come in for an orthodontist to spot developing issues like crossbites, crowding, or jaw growth concerns. Early evaluation doesn’t always mean early treatment, but it gives your orthodontist the chance to monitor growth and step in at the right time. Remember, it is never too early to have your child evaluated.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Invisalign treatment typically takes 12 to 18 months for most adults and teens, though your timeline depends on your specific needs. Some cases finish faster, while more complex corrections may take longer. During your consult, we’ll give you a personal estimate based on your smile goals and the alignment work needed.
Do you accept insurance and offer payment plans?
Yes. We work with most major dental insurance plans and help you understand your coverage before treatment begins. For out-of-pocket costs, we offer flexible payment plans so you can budget comfortably throughout your treatment. Our team will walk you through every detail at your first visit so there are no surprises later.
What’s the difference between braces and Invisalign?
Braces use brackets and wires bonded to your teeth to guide movement. Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners. Both get great results. The best choice depends on your lifestyle, treatment needs, and personal preferences. Our team will help you decide which option fits you best, factoring in cost, treatment length, and your daily routine.
Do you treat adults as well as children and teens?
Absolutely. Adults make up a growing portion of our guests. It is never too late to get the smile you’ve always wanted. Whether you had braces as a teen and your teeth have shifted, or you’re straightening your smile for the first time, our team will design a treatment plan that fits your goals, your schedule, and your budget.
