Book an AppointmentStraighter Teeth and a Healthier Bite, at Any Age
Braces are in our name. At daily DENTAL & bracesbar, we help kids, teens and adults straighten their teeth and correct their bite right alongside their regular dental care, at our Dublin, Gahanna and Grove City offices. Straighter teeth are easier to keep clean, a balanced bite puts less strain on your teeth and jaw, and a confident smile is a nice bonus.
Every treatment starts with an exam and X-rays, so your dentist can recommend the option that truly fits your bite, your goals and your schedule.

Conditions We Treat
If any of these sound like your smile, or your child’s, an orthodontic evaluation will tell you what can be done and which treatment fits best.
- Crowding: Teeth overlap because there isn’t enough space
- Gaps: Spaces between teeth
- Overbite: Upper teeth protrude in front of lower teeth
- Underbite: Lower teeth sit in front of the upper teeth
- Crossbite: Some teeth sit closer to the tongue or cheek than they should
- Open bite: Upper and lower teeth don’t meet when the mouth closes
- Misaligned midlines: The centers of the upper and lower teeth don’t line up
When Should Orthodontic Treatment Start?
Children: The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic check by age seven. An early look lets us spot developing bite and jaw problems and plan the right time to treat them, and some problems can be corrected while baby teeth are still present. Do all baby teeth have to fall out before braces?
Teens: Most permanent teeth are in, which makes the teen years a common time for braces or Invisalign.
Adults: It’s never too late. Healthy teeth can move at any age, and discreet options like clear aligners fit easily into work and family life. Invisalign for adults
What to Expect
- Consultation: A visual exam and X-rays show what’s causing the problem.
- Your plan: Your dentist explains your options, the expected timeline and the cost, including what insurance may cover.
- Treatment: Regular check-ins keep your progress on track, at whichever of our three offices is most convenient.

Frequently Asked Questions
What orthodontic treatments do you offer?
We offer traditional metal braces, Fastbraces, Invisalign and other clear aligners, and Myobrace for growing children, plus retainers to keep your results in place. After an exam and X-rays, your dentist will recommend the option that fits your bite, your goals and your lifestyle.
At what age should my child have an orthodontic evaluation?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic check by age seven. Many children don’t need treatment that early, but an evaluation lets us spot developing bite or jaw problems and plan the right time to start. Some problems can even be treated while baby teeth are still present.
Am I too old for braces or Invisalign?
No. Healthy teeth can be moved at any age, and many of our orthodontic patients are adults. Clear aligners like Invisalign are a popular choice for adults who want a more discreet option, and Fastbraces can shorten treatment time for many cases.
Does dental insurance cover orthodontics?
Many dental plans that include orthodontic coverage apply those benefits to braces or Invisalign, up to the plan’s lifetime orthodontic maximum. Our team will check your coverage, explain what you can expect to pay, and walk you through financing options.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
It depends on the type and severity of the problem and the treatment you choose. Your dentist will give you a realistic timeline at your consultation, after reviewing your X-rays.
Will I need a retainer after treatment?
Yes. Teeth naturally try to drift back after any orthodontic treatment, so everyone wears a retainer afterward to keep their new smile in place. We’ll show you how and when to wear it.
