Orthodontic FAQs in Moorestown and Mount Holly, NJ
Find answers to common questions about braces, Invisalign®, treatment timelines, costs, and what to expect throughout your orthodontic journey.
We get it, starting orthodontic treatment is a big decision. Whether you’re a parent researching options for your child, a teen wondering what to expect, or an adult finally ready to invest in your smile, the questions are real, and they deserve real answers. At Morrone, Kaye & Yucha Orthodontics, we believe that an informed patient is a confident patient. That’s why we’ve put together this comprehensive FAQ, covering everything from how much braces cost in New Jersey, to what makes Invisalign® different to what happens when your treatment is done. If you still have questions after reading through, we’d love to answer them in person. Your consultation is always complimentary, always pressure-free, and always a great conversation.
We offer a full spectrum of orthodontic treatments designed to fit every lifestyle, age group, and budget. Our options include:
Invisalign® is a clear aligner system that gradually moves your teeth using a series of custom-fabricated, removable trays. At MKY Orthodontics, we use iTero® digital scanners to create a precise 3D model of your teeth, no goop, no uncomfortable impressions. Invisalign® aligners are removable, which means you can eat everything you love, brush and floss normally, and smile freely throughout treatment. For busy families, athletes, professionals, and anyone who values discretion, it’s an exceptional option.
The honest answer? It depends on your goals, your lifestyle, and the specifics of your orthodontic case. Both options deliver excellent results; the best choice is the one that fits your life. Invisalign® is often preferred by adults and teens who want nearly invisible treatment, the flexibility to remove aligners for meals and photos, and fewer food restrictions. Traditional braces are fixed to your teeth, so there’s no concern about remembering to wear them, which can actually be an advantage for some patients.
Absolutely. As Top 1% Diamond Plus Invisalign® providers, Dr. Kaye and Dr. Yucha have treated thousands of cases, including overbites, underbites, crossbites, crowding, spacing issues, and more complex bite problems that other providers may have told you couldn’t be addressed with clear aligners. We have experience where most practices don’t, and we love putting that expertise to work for our patients.
The cost of orthodontic treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case, the type of treatment, and how long treatment takes. At MKY Orthodontics, we believe cost transparency matters, which is why we offer three defined Smile Choice tiers and clear monthly payment options:
All three options include upper and lower treatment based on your needs, and are available for Invisalign or braces at the same price. Finances should never stand in the way of a beautiful smile, and at MKY, they don’t have to.
Your first visit to MKY Orthodontics is a complimentary consultation, free, friendly, and with zero pressure.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. At this age, enough permanent teeth have come in that our doctors can identify potential alignment and spacing issues, even if your child still has many baby teeth.
This doesn’t mean your child will need treatment at age 7. In many cases, we simply monitor growth and check in every 6 months. But catching certain problems early, like jaw development concerns or severe crowding, can make treatment simpler, shorter, and less expensive down the road.
Phase 1 treatment, also called early interceptive orthodontic treatment, typically happens between the ages of 6 and 10 when a child still has a mix of baby and permanent teeth. The goal is to address specific problems, like underbites, narrow palates, or severe crowding, while the jaw is still growing and more responsive to gentle correction.
Not every child needs Phase 1 treatment. At MKY Orthodontics, we’re honest with families about when early intervention is genuinely beneficial and when it’s better to wait. We won’t recommend treatment you don’t need. At MKY Orthodontics, we offer early interceptive treatment using Invisalign First as well as traditional appliances.
Yes, and most of our teen patients love it. Invisalign Teen is specifically designed to accommodate the unique orthodontic needs of growing patients, including the fact that permanent teeth may still be erupting during treatment.
Clear aligners let teens eat whatever they want, remove them for sports and performances, and avoid the mouth irritation that can come with brackets and wires. They tend to feel more confident throughout treatment, too.
