  3. No. 03TreatmentAdjustments every 4–8 weeks, monitored by the same care team from start to finish.
  4. No. 04ResultsBracket-off day, retainers, and a quiet promise we still answer the phone in 2030 if you have a question.
The honest version
“We only recommend what the diagnosis calls for. If it is not the right answer for you, your consultation is still on us — and we will tell you what is.”- Dr. Hoffman & Dr. Montoya

Two Orthodontic Specialists, both ortho-residency trained, sharing one waiting room since 1997. That means whoever is at your first consultation is also at your last appointment, same chart, same hands, same standard.

Questions, fig. 04

Early Treatment. Specific answers.

The three things people most often ask before scheduling a early treatment consultation.

How much do early treatment cost?
Cost varies based on complexity. We provide a detailed, written breakdown during your complimentary consultation, including what your insurance is likely to cover and a 0% in-house monthly figure. We do not quote ranges over the phone.
How long does treatment take?
Treatment typically takes 6-18 months, depending on your specific case. Your orthodontist will give you a calendar at consultation, start date, expected midpoint, expected end date, so you know exactly what you are committing to.
Am I a good candidate?
Early Treatment are typically the right answer for children (7-10). The full answer comes during your complimentary consultation — sometimes another option is a better fit, and we will tell you when it is.
