Common questions

What Fort Wayne Parents Ask Us Most

At what age should I schedule an appointment for my child?

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.

Do I need a referral from my dentist?

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.

Do braces hurt?

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.

How much do braces cost?

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.

This Bussick location on Coldwater road is inside the "Harrison Dental Group" building. I visited for a consultation for Invisalign to see if it would be a good fit for me, and to get an idea of cost of course. From the moment I went to the back room everyone I spoke with was super friendly, and Dr. Bussick himself sat and had a convo with me while I waited and told me all about Invisalign. Usually at dentist offices I feel like the actual dentist is in a rush to leave the room and doesn't stick around long, while Dr. Bussick was there the whole time with me and the technician. I spent just under an hour here for my consultation getting an xray and scans of my teeth, pretty quick considering everything they did in that hour! Due to my insurance I won't be getting started on my Invisalign journey for another 5 months, but I will definitely be returning at the start of the year to get going!

I would highly recommend Dr. Bussick for all of your orthodontic needs. I have been a patient for more than 20 years, and even though I live two hours away, I continue to make the drive because of the exceptional care I receive. Throughout the years, Dr. Bussick has helped me navigate numerous health transitions and has consistently provided thoughtful, personalized treatment every step of the way. I have a very complex orthodontic case, and Dr. Bussick has worked diligently to resolve issues that other providers may have found challenging. What sets Dr. Bussick apart is not only expertise and attention to detail, but also the genuine care shown to every patient. Dr. Bussick takes the time to listen carefully to my concerns, explain treatment options, and develop a plan that is tailored to my specific needs and goals. In addition, the entire staff has always been welcoming, professional, and compassionate. They go out of their way to make me feel comfortable during every visit and never make me feel rushed. Their patience, kindness, and commitment to excellent patient care have made a lasting impression on me over the years. Thanks to Dr. Bussick’s dedication and skill, I feel confident in my smile and confident that my orthodontic needs are being managed by someone I trust completely. After more than two decades as a patient, I can say without hesitation that Dr. Bussick and the team consistently provide outstanding care and truly put their patients first. I am incredibly grateful for everything they have done for me and would enthusiastically recommend them to anyone seeking high-quality orthodontic treatment.
