The benefits of comprehensive orthodontic care
More than straight teeth
Alignment matters, but so do bite, function, comfort, airway and long-term stability.

Frequently asked questions
Whitening is generally not recommended during active braces treatment, as brackets cover portions of the teeth and can lead to uneven results. With Invisalign, whitening can often be incorporated during treatment, depending on the stage and specifics of your case. In many situations, patients are able to whiten while completing Invisalign. For the most even and consistent result, professional whitening is often completed at the end of treatment, once the full tooth surface is visible. We’ll guide you on the timing that makes the most sense for your smile.
Common signs include waking up with jaw soreness or headaches, noticing wear or flattening on your teeth, or a partner noticing grinding at night. Many people also clench or grind without realizing it. Our doctors evaluate for these signs as part of a comprehensive exam. If a night guard is appropriate, we’ll walk you through the process and what to expect. It’s a simple, effective way to protect your teeth and prevent long-term damage.
Yes—when administered by a trained provider with a thorough understanding of facial anatomy, Botox is a safe and well-documented option for managing the muscle tension associated with TMJ disorders and bruxism. By reducing the activity of the muscles responsible for clenching and grinding, Botox can relieve pressure on the jaw joint and significantly reduce symptoms such as headaches, facial pain, and jaw discomfort. Results typically last three to four months, and many patients choose to continue treatment as part of an ongoing TMJ management plan. At Ferris Orthodontic Group, Botox is approached with the same precision and clinical judgment as orthodontic care—used thoughtfully as part of a comprehensive treatment plan when appropriate.
