Orthodontists like Dr. Sohn are dental specialists who diagnose, prevent and treat dental and facial irregularities.

Dr. Sohn received an additional three full years of specialized education beyond dental school to learn the proper way to align and straighten teeth.

Only those with this formal education may call themselves “orthodontists,” and only orthodontists may be members of the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO).

When you allow Dr. Sohn and our skilled orthodontic experts to carefully oversee your treatment, you’ll feel at ease every step of the way.

We’ll take X-rays of your teeth and work hand-in-hand with your Bridgeville dentist to know the intricacies of your smile and ensure that you receive the best possible result in your treatment.

This will create a much better smile result at the end of your treatment.

Yes. Healthy teeth can be moved at any age.

Many orthodontic problems we see at Sohn Orthodontics can be corrected just as easily for adults as for children. Orthodontic forces move teeth in the same way regardless of age.

At Sohn Orthodontics, we offer many options that will minimize the appearance of braces. Today’s braces are smaller and sleeker, with some that are nearly invisible.

Dr. Sohn can advise you about options that will fit your particular needs. You can choose from Invisalign, clear braces or metal braces. These options allow you to have flexibility and discretion during your treatment with Sohn Orthodontics.

New techniques and materials have made wearing braces more comfortable and convenient than ever. That means you can do almost anything during orthodontic treatment – sing, play a musical instrument, dine out, kiss, and even have your picture taken.

Some adjustments may be necessary, but, if you’re like the vast majority of adult patients at Sohn Orthodontics, you’ll adjust quickly.

During your consultation, Dr. Sohn can determine if you’ll benefit from treatment.

After carefully analyzing your needed correction, Dr. Sohn will recommend the best treatment to improve your smile, including the different types of braces that are best for you.

Orthodontic treatment with Sohn Orthodontics can create or hold space to replace missing teeth.

In this case, Dr. Sohn will work with your dentist or dental specialist. They’ll provide bridges or implants so you can achieve the best result.

Dr. Sohn will consult with your dentist and/or periodontist about the health of your gums.

If you’re a candidate for orthodontic treatment, you’ll continue regular supervision with your dentist and periodontist.

In many cases, tooth alignment can improve the overall health of the gums.

The cost of orthodontic treatment will depend on many factors, including its severity, complexity, and treatment length. Dr. Sohn will be glad to discuss the full cost with you before treatment begins.

You’ll find that braces are more affordable today than ever at our Bridgeville office. We offer a variety of convenient payment plans at Sohn Orthodontics and accept many Pennsylvania dental insurance plans that include orthodontic benefits.
