At Endicott Dental in Broken Arrow, OK, we believe every smile deserves its own roadmap. Whether you’re a parent exploring options for your child, a teenager wanting confidence, or an adult seeking discreet alignment, our braces and Invisalign offerings are tailored to your life — not a one-size-fits-all solution. We combine cutting-edge technology, compassionate care, and transparent communication so your orthodontic journey is as comfortable and effective as possible.
Here, you’re not just another case number. We plan, monitor, and adjust with you. Let’s build your best smile together.
Orthodontics today means choice, flexibility, and personalization. At Endicott Dental, we offer a full spectrum of options to meet your needs, from traditional braces to nearly invisible aligners:
Because we house both general dentistry and orthodontics, your treatment is fully integrated. Before aligning your teeth, we assess gum health, bone structure, jaw position, and even airway or bite function. This holistic approach ensures not just a beautiful smile, but a healthier, more functional one.
Why do folks across Broken Arrow and beyond trust us for orthodontics? Here are the key differentiators:
From day one, we listen. We don’t push a predetermined solution; we craft a plan around your goals, daily schedule, comfort limits, and budget. Our digital scanning and imaging tools let us map your treatment precisely.
While many braces take 12–24 months, our FastBraces system often cuts that in half. Some cases see significant change in as little as 100 days. This speed doesn’t compromise results — it’s engineered by a special bracket + wire system that moves root and crown simultaneously.
Invisalign (or clear aligner therapy) offers a compelling path for those who want alignment without the visibility of braces. Here’s what you should know:
Near-Invisibility & Confidence
Each custom aligner is crafted from clear, medical-grade plastic. Worn properly (20–22 hours/day), they’re nearly invisible in everyday conversation or photographs.
Removable for Life
Unlike braces, you can remove aligners to eat, brush, and floss. No food restrictions, and cleaning your teeth is much simpler.
Predictable, Digital Treatment
We plan your entire treatment with 3D simulations. You can visualize your end result before beginning.
Because aligners shift teeth gradually, you’ll transition every 1–2 weeks (as directed).
Comfort & Adaptability
No brackets or wires means fewer sore spots. Some tightness or pressure is expected when switching trays, but it typically passes quickly.
Treatment Timeline
Many patients complete Invisalign in 6 to 18 months, depending on alignment complexity and compliance.
Suitability & Limitations
At Endicott Dental, during your initial evaluation, we’ll inform you honestly whether Invisalign is a good match. If not, we’ll guide you to an equally strong alternative — no pressure or upselling.
Braces remain a foundational tool in orthodontics, especially for complex, multifaceted cases. Modern improvements make them more comfortable and efficient than ever.
Unlike standard systems that move tooth roots first, then adjust crowns, FastBraces simultaneously shift both root and crown. That can drastically shorten treatment time — sometimes to 100 days for simpler cases, or under 12 months for more advanced ones.
Because FastBraces use a specialized bracket + wire design, many patients experience less discomfort and fewer appointments.
To choose, we’ll balance aesthetics, correctness needs, and personal preference.
Braces often excel in cases involving:
Because braces are fixed, you don’t have to remember to wear anything — they work constantly.
Temporary discomfort or aching is normal in the first few days after adjustments; we provide guidance and comfort strategies.

Here’s how we guide you (or your child) from start to finished smile:
1. Initial Consultation
You’ll sit down with our doctor, tell us what you want, share your history, and undergo a full exam — including digital scans, X-rays, and photos.
2. Diagnosis & Treatment Planning
Using the imaging data, we construct one or more treatment plan options (braces, Invisalign, hybrids), complete with timelines, predicted results, and cost breakdowns.
3. Preparatory Care
Before starting orthodontics, we ensure your oral health is solid. That may include cleanings, cavity fillings, or gum care to provide a stable foundation.
4. Appliance Placement
On “Day Zero,” we install your braces or deliver your first aligner tray. We’ll give you instructions, care tips, and expectations.
5. Active Treatment Phase
Your path may span months, perhaps longer. You’ll return for adjustments or monitoring. We track progress, manage issues, and shift course if needed.
6. Debonding / Completing Aligners
Once alignment is achieved, we remove braces or wrap up aligner sets. We’ll polish teeth and review the final outcome.
7. Retention & Long-Term Care
Teeth naturally want to drift back; that’s why we provide retainers and schedule future checkups. We stay your partner, not just through treatment but afterward, to preserve your smile for life.
Because orthodontics and general dentistry are together in one office, everything is coordinated carefully — no visiting multiple locations or dealing with conflicting plans.
We recommend by age 7 for an initial check. However, full treatments usually begin when most permanent teeth are in. Adults are also excellent candidates — we treat ages 7 to 70+.
It varies. Invisalign usually takes 6–18 months. Traditional braces are often in the 12–24 month range. With FastBraces, we often complete cases in under 12 months, and in some simpler ones, as quickly as 100 days.
Mild soreness or pressure is normal after adjustments or when changing aligner trays. It often fades in a day or two. Soft foods, over-the-counter pain relief, and good rest help.
Many dental insurance plans offer partial coverage for braces; some cover part of Invisalign too. We help you understand your benefits and file claims. We also offer flexible financing to make payment manageable.
With aligners, remove them to brush and floss normally. With braces, you'll use special brushes, floss threaders, and other tools. We provide detailed instruction and support.
Contact us promptly. For aligners, in many cases you can use the previous tray briefly or skip ahead (depending on timing). For broken brackets, we repair or replace them as soon as possible.
Yes — we treat relapse cases all the time. We’ll carefully evaluate and recommend either aligners or new braces to restore alignment.
Yes. Retainers help stabilize teeth in their new position and guard against relapse. We custom-fit retainers and schedule follow-ups to preserve your results.
Not really. As long as your gums and bones are healthy, you’re a candidate. Many adults choose orthodontics later in life, with excellent outcomes.
We’re proud to serve Broken Arrow and the surrounding areas. Let us help you begin a journey toward a healthier, more beautiful smile because you deserve nothing less than the absolute best.
