How long does orthodontic treatment take?

Treatment time varies by case complexity: mild cases may take 6–12 months; moderate cases 12–18 months; complex cases 18–24+ months. Clear aligners often achieve results faster than braces for mild to moderate cases.

Can adults get braces?

Absolutely. There is no age limit for orthodontic treatment. Adults make up a significant portion of orthodontic patients, and clear aligners are particularly popular with adults who prefer a discreet option.

How often do I need adjustment appointments?

Traditional braces require adjustments every 4–8 weeks. Clear aligners typically require check-ins every 6–10 weeks. Patients who live near the border can come in regularly; patients from farther away can arrange less frequent visits with longer intervals between appointments.

Can I get braces and veneers?

Yes, but orthodontic treatment should be completed before veneers are placed. Straightening your teeth first ensures the veneers are placed on properly aligned teeth for the best possible result.

Straight Teeth for Less — Without Sacrificing Quality

Orthodontic treatment straightens misaligned teeth and corrects bite problems (malocclusion), improving both the appearance and function of your smile. At Molar City MX, we offer traditional metal braces, ceramic (tooth-colored) braces, and clear aligner therapy — all performed by experienced orthodontists.

Orthodontic treatment in the US typically costs $4,000–$8,000 for braces and $3,500–$8,000 for clear aligners. At our clinic, braces start at $1,200 and clear aligners start at $1,500 — making orthodontic treatment accessible for patients who have been priced out of treatment at home.

Because orthodontic treatment requires regular adjustment appointments over 12–24 months, many patients who live near the US-Mexico border choose to have their orthodontic care managed at our clinic. Patients from farther away can also arrange periodic visits for adjustments.
