Frequently Asked Questions About Our Ball Ground Area Orthodontist Practice

How do I know if I need braces?

There are several signs that you or your child might benefit from orthodontics. These include crowded or overlapping teeth, gaps between teeth, an overbite or underbite, difficulty chewing, or jaws that shift or make sounds. However, some issues aren't visible to the untrained eye. The best way to know for sure is to schedule a complimentary consultation with us. We will perform a thorough exam and let you know if treatment is recommended.

At what age should my child first see an orthodontist?

We agree with the American Association of Orthodontists' recommendation that children should have their first orthodontic check-up by age seven. At this age, a child has a mix of baby and permanent teeth, which allows us to identify developing issues with the jaw and tooth alignment. While many children won't need treatment immediately, establishing a baseline allows us to monitor their growth and begin treatment at the optimal time.

Do you offer payment plans?

Absolutely. We believe that financial constraints shouldn't stand in the way of a healthy smile. We offer flexible, interest-free financing options to spread the cost of treatment over time. We also accept most insurance plans and will handle the paperwork for you to ensure you maximize your benefits. During your initial consultation, our treatment coordinator will go over all the financial details so there are no surprises.

Is Invisalign as effective as regular braces?

Yes, for the vast majority of patients, clear aligners like Invisalign are just as effective as traditional metal braces. The technology has advanced significantly in recent years, allowing us to treat a wide range of malocclusions. The success of clear aligners largely depends on patient compliance—you must wear them for 20-22 hours a day. Dr. Ambre and Dr. Kragor will evaluate your specific case to determine if aligners are the right tool for your smile goals.

What happens if I have an orthodontic emergency?

We are here for you! While true orthodontic emergencies are rare, we understand that broken brackets or poking wires can be uncomfortable. If you experience pain or breakage, simply call our office. We will guide you on how to handle the issue at home or schedule an appointment to get you comfortable as soon as possible. We prioritize our patients' comfort and will ensure you are taken care of promptly.

About Ball Ground, GA

Ball Ground is a charming community located in Cherokee County, known for its rich history and small-town hospitality. Originally named for the stickball games played by the Cherokee people in the area, the city has grown into a vibrant hub that blends historic architecture with modern growth, offering residents a beautiful place to live, work, and play.

Here are three notable landmarks in Ball Ground:

  • Ball Ground Botanical Garden: A peaceful green space located near the city center, featuring a variety of native plants and walking paths perfect for a relaxing afternoon.
  • Gibbs Gardens: Although just outside the city limits, this world-class residential garden is a major draw for locals, boasting over 200 acres of landscaped gardens, ponds, and waterfalls.
  • Feathers Edge Vineyards: A popular local spot that combines a rustic art gallery with a wine tasting room, reflecting the creative spirit of the community.

Comprehensive Services for Every Smile

Our practice offers a wide array of treatments designed to address various dental alignment issues and esthetic concerns. We customize every plan, ensuring you get the results you want in a timeframe that works for you.

Metal Braces

Traditional metal braces remain one of the most effective ways to straighten teeth. Modern braces are smaller, more comfortable, and more efficient than those from the past. They are an excellent option for patients of all ages, particularly for children and teens who want to show off their personality with colored bands.

Clear Aligners (Invisalign)

For those seeking a more discreet option, we offer clear aligners. These removable trays gently shift your teeth into place without wires or brackets. They are virtually invisible, making them a popular choice for adults and teens who want to improve their smile without drawing attention to their treatment. As experts in this technology, Dr. Ambre and Dr. Andy can treat even complex cases using aligners.

Early Interceptive Treatment

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children see an orthodontist by age seven. Early evaluation allows us to spot potential issues with jaw growth or tooth eruption before they become serious problems. Our interceptive treatments can help guide jaw development, creating enough room for permanent teeth and potentially shortening or simplifying future treatment.

Airway Orthodontics

Did you know that the shape of your jaw affects how you breathe? We offer airway-focused orthodontics designed to expand the airway and improve breathing. This can be life-changing for patients suffering from sleep-disordered breathing or sleep apnea, improving their overall health and quality of life.

TMJ Treatment

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders can cause significant pain and discomfort in the jaw, face, and neck. Our team is trained to diagnose and treat these issues, often using orthodontic appliances to stabilize the bite and relieve stress on the jaw joints.
