Orthodontics: Your Treatment Options
We offer a range of orthodontic services at our Leesburg, VA, dental office, allowing Dr. Ahn to find the optimal option for your needs and goals.
Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces are a powerful treatment available to most individuals. Metal braces move the teeth using brackets, bands, and wires to help you achieve straighter, more symmetrical teeth.
Ceramic Braces
For patients who are worried about the aesthetics of traditional metal braces, we can also provide tooth-colored brackets. Ceramic braces are stain-resistant and less noticeable than metal brackets.
Invisalign
Many teens and adults choose Invisalign clear aligners due to their comfort and discreet appearance. Since patients must wear the trays for 22 hours each day, treatment requires a high level of commitment to achieve the desired effects.
Retainers
In order to maintain the results of your orthodontic treatment, our office can also create a custom retainer for you. These appliances can be removable or permanent.

I have been going to Smile Designers of Leesburg for a couple of years now. I have had the usual routine cleanings, a crown, and a filling (replaced). Been very happy with the services. They are almost always on time, and efficient.
In this pandemic era, they are taking a lot of precautions. Appointment was still on time though.

Braces vs. Invisalign
How Do These Orthodontic Options Work?
Braces may be a better option for individuals that have more severe dental misalignment issues or overcrowding. This highly effective treatment can take anywhere from several months to a few years to correct orthodontic issues.
Invisalign is ideal for teens and adults who desire a more comfortable and discreet orthodontic option. Unfortunately, Invisalign is not effective for all patients. Those with mild to moderate issues are typically the best candidates.
The Orthodontic Treatment Timeline
Early Orthodontic Treatment
According to the American Association of Orthodontists, pediatric patients should receive an evaluation from an orthodontic specialist before they are seven years old. Early orthodontic treatment, also known as Phase One treatment, is a specific method used for our younger patients. Our doctors can prescribe early orthodontic treatment during your child's regular checkup. This can help:
Establish healthy jaw growth
Correct protruding teeth
Lower risk of damage to prominent front teeth
Shorten treatment with braces or aligners in the future
Guide the teeth into a more favorable position and prevent issues when your child is older
