Braces for Every Stage of Life
At Quest Orthodontics, we understand that orthodontic needs evolve with age. Dr. Patel and our team provide tailored braces solutions for patients of all ages, ensuring that everyone in Atlanta, from children to adults, can achieve their ideal smile.
Braces for Kids
Early orthodontic intervention, often referred to as Phase 1 treatment, plays a crucial role in guiding proper jaw growth and creating adequate space for permanent teeth to erupt correctly. For children requiring full orthodontic treatment, we offer engaging options like fun Wild Smiles shapes and colors, transforming the experience of wearing braces into an exciting and positive journey for your child. Our goal is to set the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles.

For many teenagers, braces are a significant rite of passage on the path to a confident smile. Our durable and highly effective braces options are designed to efficiently correct bites and align teeth, preparing them for a lifetime of self-assured smiles. With customizable colored elastics, teens can express their individuality and make their orthodontic journey uniquely their own, all while receiving top-tier care from Dr. Patel, an Atlanta Magazine Top Dentist.
Adult Braces
It is truly never too late to achieve the straight, healthy smile you\'ve always desired! Many adults are choosing orthodontic treatment for both aesthetic enhancements and significant health benefits. For those seeking a more discreet and precise option, LightForce 3D-printed braces offer an excellent solution. Alternatively, traditional braces remain a highly effective choice for comprehensive correction, addressing a wide range of adult orthodontic concerns. Dr. Patel ensures that adult treatment plans are tailored to fit busy lifestyles, often incorporating advanced technologies like Grin remote monitoring to minimize in-office visits.
What to Expect During Braces Treatment
Your journey to a radiant smile with braces at Quest Orthodontics is a carefully planned and supported process. From your initial consultation to the final reveal of your new smile, our team in Sandy Springs and Decatur is with you every step of the way.
Consultation & 3D Scan
Your smile transformation begins with a complimentary consultation at one of our Atlanta locations. During this initial visit, Dr. Patel will conduct a comprehensive oral examination and utilize our advanced iTero 3D Scanner to create a precise digital map of your teeth and bite. This state-of-the-art technology eliminates messy traditional impressions and allows for the meticulous planning of your personalized treatment strategy, ensuring the most effective and efficient path to your ideal smile.
Bonding Appointment
Once your custom LightForce 3D-printed braces are fabricated, or your traditional brackets are prepared, you\’ll return for your bonding appointment. Our skilled team will carefully and comfortably bond the braces to your teeth. This appointment is typically quick and designed to be as comfortable as possible, marking the exciting start of your active treatment phase.
Adjustment Visits
Throughout your treatment, you\’ll visit us approximately every 6-8 weeks for adjustment appointments. These crucial visits allow Dr. Patel to closely monitor your progress, make any necessary adjustments to your braces, and ensure your treatment remains perfectly on track. We also offer the convenience of Greyfinch HIPAA video virtual consults and two-way SMS communication to support you between visits.
Debond & Retainers
The exciting day arrives when your teeth have reached their perfectly aligned positions! We will then gently remove your braces, revealing your stunning new smile. To ensure your beautiful results last a lifetime, we will provide you with custom-fitted retainers and comprehensive instructions on their wear and care. This final step is vital for maintaining the integrity of your orthodontic correction.
