Invisalign in Fort Wayne
A Straighter Smile That Fits Your Lifestyle
Invisalign is the clear way to straighten teeth, gradually moving your smile into place through a series of custom-made removable aligners. Because the aligners come out for meals, there are no food restrictions, brushing and flossing stay easy, and office visits are only every 12 to 16 weeks. It is the best way to transform your smile without interrupting your day-to-day life.
Dr. Bussick has offered Invisalign since it first became available and offers expert orthodontic care in Northeast Indiana with Diamond Top 1% Invisalign Provider status. With newer technology, Invisalign is an option for patients as young as 7, so kids, teens, and adults can all start with the region’s most experienced Invisalign team.
Braces in Fort Wayne
Braces That Are Smaller, Faster, and More Fun
Orthodontics is easier than ever. New technologies have made braces more comfortable and attractive while reducing the time needed to complete treatment. Patients are no longer limited to standard silver braces, as Dr. Bussick also offers clear brackets, and with your choice of elastic ties you can customize your braces and change colors at virtually every appointment.
Braces work for nearly every age and nearly every bite. Dr. Bussick treats kids, teens, and adults at both Fort Wayne offices, and every treatment plan starts with a complimentary exam, digital x-rays, and photos so you know exactly what to expect before anything is placed on your teeth.

Common questions
What Fort Wayne Parents Ask Us Most
Dr. Bussick and the American Association of Orthodontists recommend children be seen by age 7. Early detection of many orthodontic problems can help avoid more extensive treatment later.
It is not necessary to have a referral from your dentist; however, most dentists will make a referral at the first indication that treatment may be needed. In addition, many of our patients are referred by friends, co-workers, and neighbors.
Braces have changed significantly over the last several years. Thanks to technology, today’s braces are smaller and more comfortable than braces in the past. As a patient, you may experience some discomfort after certain visits; however, pain relievers such as Advil or Tylenol can help alleviate the pain.
Every smile is different, so the best way to know your cost is a new patient exam with Dr. Bussick. You’ll leave with a clear plan and know exactly what to expect. We offer interest-free payment plans, work directly with your insurance, and accept HSA and FSA cards, so cost doesn’t have to stand in the way.
