Frequently Asked Questions

What is an initial orthodontic treatment like?

The initial consultation visit is for you or your child and our orthodontist to determine if we’re able to help you with your orthodontic needs. We’ll complete a series of photographs, digital scans, x-rays, and an oral examination. After all of the data is gathered, the Treatment Coordinator and Dr. Erickson will meet with you in a separate consultation room to go over options available, treatment choices, and costs involved.

Are there any costs for x-rays or diagnostic models taken during the initial consult?

All new patient consultations are complimentary. We do not charge for any services until treatment is scheduled to begin. Your exam, x-rays, and models are all included in the cost of treatment. If you choose not to proceed with getting braces, you will not be billed.

What are your prices for treatment?

The price of your treatment will depend on variants such as:

The type of braces that you’re getting
The length of treatment
How complex your bite needs are
If additional procedures are necessary (such as surgery, etc.)
Any benefits through your insurance provider

Please note that we will provide you with a detailed treatment plan outlining all fees during the time of your consultation

Why should I see you versus someone else in town?

At Red Dirt Orthodontics, we offer two convenient locations and flexible appointments with a board-certified orthodontic specialist. Dr. Erickson has extensive experience in corrective techniques for individuals with atypical oral anatomy.

What type of orthodontic services do you offer?

We provide comprehensive braces for adults, children, and teens. This includes traditional braces, growth modification and early intervention techniques, as well as clear or removable orthodontics.

Do you take insurance? Are other payment options available?

Yes! Most insurance plans are welcome. We also have flexible financing options and payment plans to supplement any treatments not covered by your dental policy.

What is the difference between an orthodontist and a dentist?

All orthodontists are dentists, but not all dentists are orthodontist. An orthodontist has another 2-3 years of formal education in the field of bite correction therapies in addition to four years of dental school.

How long will my treatment take?

The length of treatment varies from one person to the next, not to mention it’s dependent upon the type of braces they are wearing. Most people require 12-18 months to complete their orthodontic therapy; some more, some less. We can provide you with a more precise estimate at the time of your individual examination.

Am I a candidate for braces, invisalign, or orthodontic treatment?

During your examination, we’ll evaluate your oral anatomy and dental health to determine if you can proceed with treatment. In most cases, your teeth and gums will need to be free of cavities and disease.

How often will I need to see Dr. Erickson during my treatment?

Most orthodontic patients need to be seen for an adjustment or follow-up exam about every six weeks. For treatments like Invisalign (where the aligners are sent home in advance,) the appointments may only be every eight weeks.

What are Invisalign and Spark Clear Aligners?

Red Dirt Orthodontics is proud to provide their patients in Oklahoma City and Yukon with Invisalign and Spark clear aligners. Invisalign and Spark are our options for a series of clear, removable aligners that are used as an alternative to traditional metal braces. The aligners are worn for around two weeks and then changed with a new set. As an orthodontist, Dr. Erickson loves them because there are so many advantages that come with wearing Invisalign and Spark!

Invisalign and Spark vs. Braces

Virtually invisible – Invisalign and Spark are clear aligners which are hardly noticeable, only you know you’re wearing them.
Treats simple to complex cases – This form of treatment is effective for a wide variety of cases, no matter how complex your case is. With technology like this we can make it work for you!
Comfortable – Invisalign and Spark aligners are both made up of their own unique, technologically-advanced materials to ensure smooth and comfortable wear! No need to worry about broken brackets and wires poking your cheeks that cause soreness and irritation!
Removable – These clear aligners are meant to be removed for eating, drinking and brushing. That way no food gets stuck in your aligner.
Less time- Requires less appointments and more time for you! Appointments with Dr. Erickson will be every 8-10 weeks.

How it works

At your first appointment, Dr. Erickson will determine if Invisalign or Spark is the right approach for you! He will sit down with you find out what aspects of your bite you want to address.
We then take a digital scan of your teeth using our iTero scanner which creates a precise 3D digital image of your teeth! After your scan is finished, Dr. Erickson will examine your bite and jaw anatomy.
After all the scans and examinations Dr. Erickson will review the cost and length of treatment for your individual case.
Your custom aligners will be made! As you wear each set of aligners, your teeth will gradually shift into place creating a straighter more attractive position.

How much do Invisalign and Spark aligners cost?

In most cases with Invisalign and Spark treatment your cost is comparable to the cost of traditional braces. Although with other medical treatments, Dr. Erickson can determine the cost for you based on your specific needs. There are many other factors that are included in the Invisalign and Spark cost such as your treatment goals, the difficulty of your case and how long you are in treatment for. Here at Red Dirt Orthodontics we currently offer many different payment plans, most insurance plans, and flexible financing options. This is to help any treatments not covered by your dental policy.

Invisalign and Spark are great approaches for some patients. Whether you are in Yukon, Oklahoma City or any of the surrounding areas, contact Red Dirt Orthodontics to schedule a complimentary consultation to see if Invisalign or Spark is right for you! (405) 227-0054.
