Adult orthodontics designed for
It’s never too late to straighten your teeth. Invisalign Diamond+ Provider with ceramic braces and traditional metal options. Most adult cases finish in 12–18 months.
⭐ 500+ five-star reviews · MAGD Master of the Academy of General Dentistry · Diamond+ Invisalign Provider
And the most discreet
For 85% of adult cases we treat, Invisalign is the best choice — invisible, removable for eating and cleaning, and equally effective. As a Diamond+ provider, we typically finish cases faster than Bronze/Silver-tier offices.
Clear brackets, almost as discreet
Some complex bite issues still need fixed braces. Ceramic braces use clear or tooth-colored brackets that blend into your smile — much more discreet than traditional metal.
I avoided the dentist for almost eight years. Dr. Pedersen and her team made me feel completely safe — no judgment, no lecture, just a real plan I could afford. Two years in and I never miss a cleaning.— Sarah M.

What our patients actually say
Hundreds of 5-star reviews from real Overland Park, Johnson County, and Cass County families.
“I avoided the dentist for almost eight years. Dr. Pedersen and her team made me feel completely safe — no judgment, no lecture, just a real plan I could afford. Two years in and I never miss a cleaning.”
“We have four kids ranging from 6 to 17. Having one dental office that handles all of them — including my teenager’s Invisalign — has saved us so many hours of driving.”
“I’d been searching for a ‘natural dentist’ in Overland Park for two years. Finally found one that doesn’t make me feel weird for asking about my fillings.”
“Walked in convinced I needed a root canal. They diagnosed a cracked filling and fixed it the same day for a fraction of what I’d been quoted. Honest, fast, painless.”

“Cracked a molar on a Tuesday morning. Called at 8am, was in the chair by 11 with a same-day temporary crown. They saved my workweek.”
“I’d been hiding my smile for a decade. Now I forget I have implants until someone compliments my teeth.”
“Quoted four veneers somewhere else. Dr. Pedersen showed me a digital preview and we ended up doing bonding on two teeth and whitening — same result, a fraction of the cost.”
“The Smile Club paid for itself in the first six months. As a freelancer with no insurance, this is the only reason I actually get my teeth cleaned twice a year now.”

“Dr. Pedersen finished my Invisalign in eleven months. My old dentist (Bronze tier) had quoted twenty. Experience really does matter.”
“Having a Diamond+ Invisalign Provider this close to home meant my daughter didn’t have to miss school for every check-in. They explained everything to her like she was the patient, not me.”
“My six-year-old now asks when we get to go back to the dentist. That has never happened in any office before. The team is something else.”
“My implant looks better than the tooth it replaced. Every step explained, every cost in writing up front, zero surprises on the bill.”

Frequently asked questions
Am I too old for braces or Invisalign?
No — adults of any age can benefit. We’ve treated patients in their 60s and 70s. As long as your teeth and gums are healthy, you’re a candidate.
How much do adult braces cost in Overland Park?
Invisalign: $3,500–$7,500. Ceramic braces: $4,500–$7,000. Traditional metal: $3,000–$5,500. Insurance with ortho benefits typically covers $1,500–$2,500.
How long do adult cases take?
Most adult cases finish in 12–18 months. Minor corrections (Invisalign Lite): 3–6 months. Complex cases: 18–24 months.
Will my insurance cover adult orthodontics?
Many PPO plans now include adult ortho benefits — typically $1,500–$2,500 lifetime maximum. We verify benefits before treatment.
Are ceramic braces as effective as metal?
Yes — slightly slower in some cases due to bracket friction, but functionally equivalent. The brackets are more fragile so we don’t recommend them for contact sports.
Can I straighten just my front teeth?
Often yes — Invisalign Lite or Express can address minor front-tooth crowding or spacing in 3–6 months. We’ll tell you honestly during a free consultation.
Do you offer 6-month braces / short-term orthodontics?
We offer Invisalign Lite and Express for minor corrections in 3–6 months. We don’t generally recommend 6-month-style limited-treatment systems because they often compromise long-term bite stability.
