Patients from Kendallville and the rest of Noble County travel to Bussick Orthodontics for Invisalign and braces from Dr. Timothy J. Bussick, a Diamond Top 1% Invisalign provider who has practiced in Fort Wayne since 1997. Our North office on Coldwater Road is the nearer of our two locations for anyone coming south on State Road 3, and your first visit is free.
Why Kendallville Patients Choose Invisalign With Dr. Bussick
When the office is a drive away, fewer appointments make a real difference. With Invisalign treatment, office visits are every 12 to 16 weeks instead of the six to eight weeks typical with braces. The custom-made aligners are nearly invisible, come out for meals, and switch to a new set each week as your smile gradually moves into place.
Dr. Bussick has offered Invisalign since it first became available, and his Diamond Top 1% status is earned, not given. Before treatment begins, a 3D scan lets you preview how your teeth will move. Invisalign is not right for every case of misalignment or every complex bite, and if braces would serve you better, Dr. Bussick will tell you so during your exam.
Straightening Your Smile as an Adult
As long as your teeth and gums are healthy, you can be treated at any age, and with today’s technology pulling teeth is not the normal course of treatment. Clear brackets are available for adults who prefer braces but want them less noticeable. Learn more about adult orthodontic treatment, from options to timelines.
Some adults also want help beyond tooth position. Laser gum re-contouring balances an uneven gumline or gummy smile in a gentle, virtually painless procedure Dr. Bussick performs himself. If jaw pain, clicking, or headaches are part of what brings you in, he starts with an accurate diagnosis and favors conservative TMJ treatment.
Your Office on Fort Wayne’s North Side
For Kendallville patients, our North office at 10506 Coldwater Rd, Fort Wayne, IN 46845 is the practical choice. Call (260) 436-2255 for either location. Patient hours are Monday through Thursday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, with Friday reserved as an administrative day.
What Your First Visit Includes
You will be welcomed by our front office team, then Dr. Bussick will complete a thorough exam with digital x-rays and photos and discuss a plan customized to you. Your treatment coordinator reviews the recommendation and your financial options, including interest-free payments and insurance filing. If you choose to start the same day, we reserve time at the end of the visit to begin. You can read the step-by-step guide to your first consultation before you come.
Paying for Treatment
Every smile is different, so your fee is set after your free exam rather than quoted from a price list. Many dental insurance plans now include orthodontic benefits, and our staff will verify your coverage, file the claim, and work to maximize your benefits. Balances can be extended interest-free over a period of months after an appropriate down payment, and automatic credit card or bank account payments are available at no extra cost, so Kendallville patients do not need to make a trip just to pay a bill. We also accept HSA and FSA cards.
Protecting the Finished Result
Teeth can take at least four to six months to settle after treatment and will try to drift back. That is why Dr. Bussick fits every patient with custom retainers and asks you to wear them daily for the first six months, then nightly for life.
