Orthodontics & Invisalign Invisible Braces

Although Dr. Firouzian is a general dentist, he has completed numerous orthodontic programs and thus he is able to provide orthodontic treatment for adults and children. Adults appreciate cosmetic smile improvement with traditional braces or retainers at any age, and many opt for Invisalign, the invisible braces.

For children and adolescents, we correct thumb habits, deep bites, cross bites and crowded teeth. With children, we have a two-phase approach. In phase one, we recommend orthopedic appliances for children ages 5-12 that can be used for habits such as tongue thrusting and thumb sucking, underdeveloped or narrow jaws, mouth breathing, or cross bite. In phase two, we recommend braces for adolescents ages 12-14 to straighten teeth.

Invisalign®
Invisalign® is the invisible way to straighten your teeth without braces. Dr. Firouzian uses a series of clear removable aligners to straighten your teeth without metal wires or brackets. Proven effective in clinical research and in orthodontic practices nationwide, Invisalign® is a popular choice among adult orthodontic patients. Total treatment time averages 9 to 15 months and the average number of aligners worn during treatment is between 16 and 30. Dr. Firouzian is a certified Invisalign® dentist in Columbus, Ohio. Many patients are seeking treatment for the popular invisible orthodontics.
