Monroe Township Orthodontics: Braces & Invisalign for All Ages

What Is Orthodontic Treatment in Monroe Township?

Monroe Township orthodontics is specialized dental care that straightens teeth, corrects bite issues, and improves oral health for children, teens, and adults. At Monroe Orthodontics, Dr. Susan Leiva creates customized treatment plans using metal braces, clear braces, Invisalign, and Invisalign Teen to help every patient show off a confident smile.

Our practice welcomes families from across Monroe Township and the surrounding Middlesex County communities. Whether your child needs an early evaluation, your teen wants a discreet option, or you're an adult ready to start your smile, we have treatment that fits your life.

Dr. Leiva is a trusted Monroe Township orthodontist focused on both beautiful aesthetics and long-term oral health. Straight teeth are easier to clean, better for your gums, and often reduce jaw strain. Every smile dream matters here, and we build each plan around your goals, your schedule, and your comfort.

Benefits of Choosing Monroe Orthodontics

Families across Monroe Township choose our practice because of how we treat you from the moment you walk in.

You'll never feel rushed, and you'll always know what to expect at every visit.

You and your family deserve care that feels personal. That's what you'll find here, from your first phone call through the day we take off your braces.

Your 3-Step Path to a Straighter Smile

Starting treatment should feel simple. We've built a clear process so you always know what comes next.

1. Free Consultation. You'll meet Dr. Leiva and the team, tour our Monroe Township practice, and talk through your smile dreams. We'll look at your teeth, answer every question, and explain which options could work best. No pressure, ever.
2. Digital Records Appointment. Next, we'll take painless digital X-Rays and 3D scans of your teeth. This technology replaces messy impressions and gives us a complete picture of your smile in minutes.
3. Customized Treatment Plan. Dr. Leiva designs a plan built just for you, covering treatment type and timeline. Many patients choose to start the same day.

What Happens After You Start

Once treatment begins, you'll come in every 4 to 8 weeks for quick adjustments or new Invisalign trays. These visits are short and simple, and we work to schedule them around school, work, and family life.

Throughout the process, we track your progress carefully. If you have Invisalign, we'll check that your aligners are moving teeth as planned. With braces, we'll make small adjustments to keep everything on track.

The Retainer Phase

The day we take off your braces (or finish your last aligner) is a celebration. Protecting your new smile takes one more step: retainers. We'll fit you with custom retainers and show you exactly how to wear and care for them, so your smile stays straight for a lifetime of wonderful smiles.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Treatment?

Almost anyone with crooked teeth, bite issues, or spacing concerns can benefit from orthodontic care. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends children have their first evaluation by age 7, but it's never too late to start your smile.

Dr. Leiva treats a wide range of patients, including:

• Children who need early evaluation for bite development or jaw growth
• Teens choosing between metal braces, clear braces, or Invisalign Teen
• Adults who want discreet options like Invisalign or clear braces
• Patients with crowding, spacing, overbite, underbite, or crossbite
• Anyone looking to improve oral health, chewing function, and confidence

Not sure if treatment is right for you? That's what the free consultation is for. Dr. Leiva will tell you honestly what she sees and what she'd recommend. If early treatment can wait, she'll say so. If timing matters, she'll walk you through why.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does Invisalign treatment take?

Invisalign treatment typically takes between 9 and 15 months, though some cases are shorter and others longer depending on complexity. You'll wear each set of aligners for about one to two weeks before switching to the next. Dr. Leiva will give you a personalized timeline at your free consultation.

At what age should my child see an orthodontist?

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. At this age, Dr. Leiva can spot developing bite or alignment issues early, even if treatment isn't needed right away. Early evaluations help you plan ahead with confidence.

Do you offer free consultations and virtual consults?

Yes. Every new patient receives a free, no-pressure consultation at our Monroe Township practice. We also offer virtual consultations if you'd prefer to start from home. Both options include a smile assessment and personalized recommendations from Dr. Leiva.
