Belleville sits on Belleville Lake, and most of the drive to our Ann Arbor office is one long stretch of I-94. This page covers the route, the Belleville schools your children may attend, and what to expect at a first visit.
At Ann Arbor Orthodontics, we welcome patients from Belleville and the surrounding area. Dr. Mary Beth Moenssen and Dr. Brandon Shoukri see them at 2084 South Main Street, roughly 23 minutes from Belleville without traffic.
Our office is at 2084 South Main Street in Ann Arbor, about 18 miles from downtown Belleville, roughly a 23-minute drive without traffic. About 15 of those miles are on I-94, so the trip is mostly one steady highway stretch.
From downtown Belleville, take Belleville Road to I-94 west. Exit at Ann Arbor-Saline Road and continue to South Main Street. Because I-94 can slow at rush hour, a look at your map app before you leave is a good idea.
Van Buren Public Schools, headquartered in Belleville, moves students through four clear stages. Here is how they line up with the American Association of Orthodontists' advice on a first check-up by age 7:
The district posts a parent calendar on its website, so it's easy to line up visits with school breaks. Charter and private schools in the area follow the same timeline, and we'll go over the likely visit schedule at your consultation.
Timing depends on each child's growth. Some are ready for Phase 1 Treatment, some just need monitoring until their permanent teeth arrive, and teens and adults can compare Braces and Invisalign. We'll walk you through the reasoning behind our advice.
Belleville's downtown runs along Main Street and the shore of Belleville Lake, which Visit Detroit's Belleville guide calls Wayne County's largest inland lake. The City of Belleville's downtown events page lists LakeFest in June, the free Music Lakeside concerts at Horizon Park on Thursday evenings through the summer, the Monday Night Car Show on Main, the farmers market, Harvest Fest, BooVille in October, and Winter Fest in December.
A first visit at our office is a complimentary consultation, and you're under no obligation to start treatment. We'll review your child's teeth and bite, explain whether treatment is recommended, and share a cost estimate if it is. The American Association of Orthodontists lists what to expect in its first appointment guide, from the exam to the treatment plan and cost.
We often take digital scans with 3D Scanning instead of using impression trays, and our team can walk you through Finance & Insurance ahead of time. Ready to begin? Schedule a Consultation.
