Invisalign
Invisalign gives you the same exceptional results as traditional braces, but they're nearly invisible in your mouth. Your clear aligners are custom fit and completely removable. At Petrous Orthodontics, Invisalign reatment costs are comparable to the cost of traditional braces, and average treatment time is under a year.
Braces
Braces today don't just straighten your teeth. With colorful elastics and powerchains, they can help you celebrate a holiday, show your super-fan status, and keep your style fresh! Braces brackets are smaller than ever, making them easier to clean and much more comfortable.

Surgical Orthodontics
We make every effort to avoid surgery, but for adults with significant differences between their upper and lower jaws or severe sleep apnea, surgical orthodontics is sometimes the best option. At Petrous Orthodontics, we work in conjunction with the best oral-maxillofacial surgeons in the Metro Detroit area to ensure an ideal smile for every patient.
Adult Orthodontics
A bright, healthy smile is an asset personally and professionally, and today, one in four orthodontic patients is an adult. Teeth shift as we age, and misaligned teeth can be painful and hard to keep clean. At Petrous Orthodontics, we make a confident smile attainable for people of all ages.
Learn MoreEarly Prevention
At Petrous Orthodontics, we believe in treating only when necessary. Most children don’t need early treatment, but when a child who does need early treatment doesn’t get it, future treatment can become much more difficult. Like the American Academy of Orthodontics, we recommend evaluating a child's orthodontic needs around the age of seven.

Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is like icing a cake or waxing a car after it gets washed. Whitening can make all the difference in giving your smile that extra "pop," and it typically takes just two to three weeks to achieve optimal results. We’re huge fans and we think you will be too!
SMILE AGAIN EXPRESS
Best suited for patients with minor issues with crowding or spacing, Smile Again Express creates quick cosmetic improvements to your smile without attempting to fix your bite. For patients getting ready for a wedding or major professional step, or need to refresh previous orthodontic treatment, Smile Again Express delivers the smile you want on your schedule.

FAQ About Orthodontic Care
Good question! The answer depends on your dental health, your bite, and your goals for your smile. At Petrous Orthodontics, we start with a free evaluation to determine what, if any, treatment you need. Whether you need braces, clear aligners like Invisalign, or are a candidate for our Smile Again Express option, we can provide the treatment that's best for you. The choice is up to you, and there is no obligation!
It may take a little while to get used to braces, aligners, and retainers. Talking and chewing can feel awkward for a few days, and you may feel uncomfortable for the first few days after placement or after each adjustment. Over-the-counter medication for pain relief will help.
Braces have come a long way in the last decade, and at Petrous Orthodontics, all of our treatment options are designed to minimize your discomfort and get you through treatment as quickly as possible.
The cost of orthodontic treatment varies depending on your individual needs and treatment plan. What doesn't vary is our commitment to making orthodontic treatment financially accessible. Dr. Petrous and our Smile For Life! team will discuss the cost of your treatment with you, and each of your available payment plan options, which will allow you to make the best choice for you, and your smile. We will work with you to create a payment plan that fits your budget, and you will know what to expect before beginning treatment. All consultations are 100% complimentary. Plus, all in-office payment plans are always interest free.Â
Orthodontic treatment benefits your health and your confidence! Misalignment of your teeth and jaw can cause difficulty with speaking and chewing. Orthodontic care reduces your risk for tooth decay, gum disease, and irregular wear and tear on tooth enamel. It makes it easier to take great care of your teeth, and reduces the likelihood of dental emergencies. A beautiful smile is another huge benefit of orthodontic treatment. We smile to show that we care, to welcome and connect with people. A bright smile is an asset in your personal life and at work, and at Petrous Orthodontics, we do everything we can to make smiling easy!
Making Treatment Attainable
Orthodontic Financing Made Easy
Part of providing the highest standard of care is making your orthodontic treatment affordable. We specialize in developing affordable payment plans that are always interest free, and we are a premier provider for the majority of PPO insurance plans. We also work with you to utilize Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) to minimize out of pocket expenses. The cost of orthodontic treatment varies depending on your needs, but our commitment to making treatment attainable does not.
