Ann Arbor families don't have to go far for orthodontic care. Our office is on South Main Street, a short drive from downtown, and this page covers where to find us, when we're open, and how orthodontic timing fits the school years in Ann Arbor.

We also welcome families from nearby communities, including Saline, Milan, and Ypsilanti.
Ann Arbor Public Schools is a large district with elementary, K-8, middle, and high schools, so the easiest way to follow the orthodontic timeline is by stage. The American Association of Orthodontists suggests a first orthodontic check-up by age 7. Here is how each stage lines up:
Many of our patients attend private schools in and around Ann Arbor, and the same timeline applies to them. Here are some of the schools our families come from:
Homeschool families are part of our practice too. Orthodontic timing follows a child's age and growth rather than a grade, so the age-7 check-up applies however your child learns, and Washtenaw Christian Academy lists a homeschool partnership on its own site. Whatever your child's school setting, we'll go over the likely visit schedule at your consultation, so your family can plan appointments around learning and activities.
Where a child fits depends on age and growth, not just grade. Some benefit from Phase 1 Treatment early, some are watched until their permanent teeth arrive, and teens and adults can compare Braces and Invisalign. We'll explain our reasoning.
Downtown Ann Arbor's Michigan Theater, at 603 E. Liberty Street, has been entertaining Michiganders since 1928, according to its own site. University of Michigan Health's 24 Hours in Ann Arbor guide adds the Ann Arbor Farmers Market, with more than 100 local producers, the Ann Arbor Art Fair every July, and the Ann Arbor Film Festival each March at the Michigan Theater.
Your first visit is a complimentary consultation right here on South Main Street, with no obligation to begin treatment. We'll look at your child's teeth and bite, explain whether treatment is recommended, and give you a cost estimate if it is. The American Association of Orthodontists describes the usual appointment in its first appointment guide: the exam, a treatment plan, and a conversation about cost.
We often use 3D Scanning in place of impression trays, and Finance & Insurance is simple to review before you decide. Ready to start? Schedule a Consultation.
