Get The Smile You Deserve
Reveal Straight Teeth With Orthodontics in Indianapolis
Whether you're a child, teenager, or adult, correcting misaligned teeth can lead to a healthier, more confident smile. At Renew Dental Arts, we offer orthodontics in Indianapolis for patients of all ages. Your dentist will help you achieve a smile you can be proud of, and that functions the way it should.
Having straight teeth will improve your oral health by making your teeth easier to clean. You'll gain greater confidence in your appearance. You'll also reduce wear and tear on your teeth and relieve symptoms, such as TMJ-related jaw pain. Plus, food digests better since your meals are chewed evenly. You can visit us as early as 7 a.m., before your day starts.
Unlock Your Smile’s Potential With Orthodontic Treatment
Straightening your teeth goes beyond just improving your appearance. Properly aligned teeth contribute to better dental health and function, making it easier to maintain good oral hygiene habits.
When your teeth are in their correct positions, brushing and flossing become easier.
Plus, with straight teeth, you chew with more even distribution, so you minimize the risk of dental wear and tear and cut down on jaw pain.
Our practice offers orthodontics for all ages. For children who have lost a tooth prematurely, space maintainers help guide the proper eruption of permanent teeth.
This proactive approach ensures that your child's smile develops correctly, minimizing the need for more extensive treatments later on.
You’ll Benefit From the Clarity of Clear Aligners
If you want to pursue clear aligner treatment, here is what you can expect:
- Treatment Planning - Your dentist will use advanced 3-D scanners to create impressions of your teeth and plan your treatment. This information is used to create your aligners.
- Begin Wearing Your Aligners - You'll visit our office to pick up your first few sets of aligners. You'll need to wear the removable aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day:
- Periodic Check-Ups - Throughout your treatment, you'll have regular appointments with your dentist to ensure your teeth are moving according to plan. You'll also receive your next sets of aligners.
- Outstanding Results - Each set of aligners will apply gentle pressure to your teeth, gradually guiding them into their desired positions. Most patients finish treatments in about 12 to 18 months.
- Custom Retainer - Once you've completed your clear aligner treatment, you will receive a custom retainer to help maintain your newly straight smile.

Frequently Asked Questions About Orthodontics
How much does orthodontics cost?
Since each patient has different needs and goals, we need to perform an exam before giving any cost estimates for orthodontic treatment. Once we've reviewed your options, we'll share all the information you need, including pricing, to help you make the best decision for your orthodontic care.
Are clear aligners visible?
Many teens and adults prefer clear aligners instead of metal braces because they are see-through and almost invisible. People usually don't notice them unless you mention it. This helps you feel more comfortable with your smile at school, social events, or in professional settings. You can also remove the aligners for a short time during photos or important events.
Can orthodontics help TMJ pain?
Orthodontics can improve bite problems, which may reduce TMJ pain. At your first appointment, we will assess your condition and let you know if orthodontics is the best option. If not, we offer other treatments for TMJ pain, such as a custom mouthguard to reduce pressure on your TMJs.
