Treatment Stages


Early Treatment

Early Treatment


In some cases, an orthodontic concern may require an earlier orthodontic consultation. Around age 7, the first adult molars typically erupt, helping to define a patient’s back bite and allowing the orthodontist to more effectively evaluate the bite. Treatment at this age may not be necessary, but orthodontic monitoring can help anticipate the ideal timeline for the most effective treatment and also help to prevent more serious problems in the future.

Teen Treatment


At Burkhardt Pecora Orthodontics, we love the energy and excitement teenagers bring to our office and feel that teenagers make wonderful orthodontic patients. By the time your child has reached their teenage years, they most likely have the necessary permanent teeth to allow full treatment to be completed. Our office utilizes comprehensive state of the art orthodontic treatment to achieve the best aesthetic results while correcting malocclusions (poor bite) and other imperfections.

Smile Protection Program


Retainers are the final phase of orthodontic treatment that should never be overlooked. After removal of braces, patients are provided with retainers to maintain the result they worked so hard to achieve. The Burkhardt Pecora Smile Protection program is an opportunity to protect your smile for years to come. This program offers participants 10 years of coverage against retainer loss or breakage. Future dental work can make retainers no longer fit properly when a tooth shape has been modified, this program allows for easy replacement of retainers when this happens. Instead of paying full price for replacement retainers, patients pay only a small co-pay for a complete new set to hold teeth in the current alignment.  Information about how this coverage can be purchased is available at you next visit, feel free to ask a team member for the details!
