The American Association of Orthodontists recommends every child have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. That does not mean treatment starts then. For most children, Dr. Walker simply monitors growth with periodic complimentary visits until the timing is right. Early evaluation matters because a small number of problems, like narrow palates, crossbites, and airway concerns, are far easier to correct while a child is still growing.

Your first visit includes a review of your dental and medical history, an exam by Dr. Walker, and diagnostic records: x-rays, photographs, and a comfortable iTero digital scan with no goopy impressions. You leave with a personalized treatment plan, a clear timeline, and exact pricing with payment options. The consultation is complimentary, and there is no obligation to start treatment.

The cost of braces depends on the complexity of your case, the length of treatment, and the type of braces you choose, such as traditional, clear, or custom lingual braces. At your free consultation, you receive an exact price for your specific case, not an estimate. In general, cost for braces can be between $3500 and $7000 at our office. Walker Orthodontics works with all major insurance providers, offers monthly payment plans, and provides a discount for paying in full.

Invisalign cost depends on how much your teeth need to move and how long treatment takes, so the most accurate answer comes from a consultation, which is always free at Walker Orthodontics. In general, the cost can range from $3500 to $7500 for Invisalign.

No. You can schedule a consultation with Walker Orthodontics directly, no referral needed. Many of our patients are referred by their dentists, but just as many find us on their own. If you are already working with a dentist, Dr. Walker will coordinate with them throughout your treatment so your overall dental care stays connected.
