Achieving a straight, healthy smile is about more than just aesthetics—it’s an investment in your overall oral health. At Highlands Dental Care, our orthodontist in Hyattstown, MD, can correct your smile, leaving you with beautiful, healthy results. 

Whether you’re exploring options for your child, teen, or yourself, our personalized approach makes sure you’ll feel confident every step of the way.

Orthodontic Care for Every Stage of Life

Orthodontic needs change with age and Highlands Dental Care has treatments for everyone. From childhood checks to modern solutions for adults, we’ll guide you through the whole process.

Early Orthodontic Checks for Children

Starting orthodontic care early can make all the difference. By the time children are 7 years old, they can visit a dentist for an evaluation to identify any alignment or bite issues. Early treatment can guide jaw growth, correct bad habits, and reduce the need for more extensive treatment later.
It’s all about laying the foundation for a healthy smile for life.

Teen Orthodontic Solutions

Teenagers need orthodontic care to sort out misaligned teeth, crowded smiles, or bite problems. Highlands Dental Care offers traditional braces and discreet options like ceramic braces or Invisalign Teen so teens can choose a treatment to fit their lifestyle.
These solutions not only improve oral health but also boost confidence during a big part of life.

Modern Solutions for Adults

Orthodontic care isn’t just for kids and teens. Many adults are now choosing to enhance their smile with treatments like Invisalign which offers a nearly invisible way to straighten teeth. If it’s sorting out long-standing issues or making subtle adjustments, modern orthodontic solutions fit into an adult’s busy schedule.
With options designed for comfort and discretion, it’s never too late to get the smile you’ve always wanted.

Invisalign®: A Clear Choice for a Confident Smile

If you want a discreet way to straighten your teeth, Invisalign might be for you. Dr. Tong is Hyattstown’s leading certified Invisalign provider.

These clear aligners are custom-made to fit tight yet comfortably over your teeth, gradually moving them into place. You can take them out to eat, brush, or floss, so they’re super convenient for your busy life.

And they’re practically invisible, so you can smile with confidence throughout your treatment.

Benefits of Invisalign®

Nearly Invisible: Clear aligners let you straighten your teeth without noticeable braces.

Removable: Eat, brush, and floss without restrictions.

Comfortable Fit: Smooth aligners reduce irritation compared to traditional braces.

Fewer Appointments: No tightening required—just switch to the next aligner in your series.

Customized for You: Every aligner is tailored to your teeth for precise results.

Traditional Braces: Proven Results

For more complex orthodontic needs, traditional metal braces might be the way to go. Don’t worry—braces today are much more comfortable and even come with clear brackets if you prefer a less visible look. Braces are a tried and true way to correct alignment issues and get the long-term results you want.

Whichever option you choose we’ll work with you to find the solution that fits your lifestyle and goals. At Highlands Dental Care we’re with you every step of the way to a healthier, more confident smile.

Benefits of Traditional Braces

Effective for Complex Cases: Ideal for severe misalignments or bite issues.

Reliable Results: Proven to deliver lasting, predictable outcomes.

Customizable Options: Choose metal or clear brackets to suit your style.

Always Working: Braces are fixed, so they’re constantly moving your teeth into place.

Affordable Choice: Often a cost-effective solution for orthodontic care.

Who Needs Orthodontics?

Orthodontics isn’t just about achieving straighter, beautiful smiles—it’s about improving oral health and quality of life. Many patients can benefit from orthodontic care, whether it’s to fix a minor issue or address a more complex concern.
You might need orthodontics if you’re dealing with:

Crowded or crooked teeth that make brushing and flossing difficult.

Gaps between teeth that affect your smile’s appearance or function.

Overbites, underbites, or crossbites that can cause jaw pain or uneven wear on your teeth.

Difficulty chewing or speaking due to misalignment.
