Braces and Invisalign, planned by an orthodontist

Nevada Orthodontics & Pediatric Dentistry is a dual-specialty practice on W Lake Mead Blvd, which means one family can get cleanings and braces in the same building, from the same team, on the same schedule. Every orthodontic case here is planned and reviewed by Las Vegas orthodontist Dr. Sam Faranesh — including every Invisalign ClinCheck plan — so the doctor who designs your treatment is the doctor you see at your adjustment visits.

We treat kids, teens and adults, and families reach us easily from Summerlin, Centennial Hills and across the northwest valley. Your first orthodontic consultation is free. It includes an exam, digital photos and X-rays, a digital scan, and a written treatment plan with your exact cost before you commit to anything.

Metal braces

The most affordable and durable option, and still the most common. Today’s brackets are smaller, lighter and far more comfortable than the ones parents remember, and kids and teens get to customize their colored elastics at every visit. See our full guide to braces in Las Vegas.

Clear ceramic braces

The same proven mechanics with tooth-colored brackets that blend into your smile. It is a popular middle ground for older teens and adults who want treatment that is hard to spot in photos but prefer fixed braces to removable trays.

Invisalign and Invisalign Teen

Custom clear trays that straighten teeth nearly invisibly and come out for meals, brushing and sports. The Teen version includes wear indicators so parents can see the trays are actually being worn. Dr. Faranesh reviews and approves every treatment plan himself rather than sending it out. Read more about Invisalign here.

Not sure which one fits your case or your budget? That is exactly what the free consultation is for — you will get a straight answer and a written plan, with no obligation.

Starting at the right time

An orthodontic check around age 7 is the sweet spot. Permanent teeth are coming in and the jaw is still growing, which makes it far easier to catch bite, crowding and spacing problems while they are simple to influence. Often that first check ends with nothing more than “all good, see you next year” — and when it does not, early treatment can mean a shorter, less complicated Phase II later. More on early and Phase I treatment.

Most patients wear braces for 12 to 24 months, with quick adjustment visits every 6 to 8 weeks. If a bracket comes loose or a wire pokes between visits, call 702-802-0035 and we will work you in.

Adults straighten teeth here too

Plenty of our patients are adults who either never had braces or had them years ago and watched their teeth drift after their retainer went in a drawer. Clear ceramic braces and Invisalign both make adult treatment far less conspicuous than it used to be. See adult orthodontic options.

What treatment costs, and how families pay for it

Every case is different, so we never quote a one-size-fits-all price. Your free consultation ends with a written plan showing the exact fee, the length of treatment and the monthly payment — no hidden costs and no pressure to decide that day.

Braces can start from $99 a month with an approved in-office payment plan, and our in-house plans are interest-free. We accept most PPO insurance plans and Nevada Medicaid for qualifying cases. See insurance, Medicaid and financing options.

What the first visit actually looks like

It takes about an hour. We take digital photos and X-rays, then use our iTero scanner to build a 3D model of your teeth — no trays of goopy impression material. Dr. Faranesh reviews everything with you in plain language, answers the questions you actually came in with, and gives you the written plan before you leave. If you are ready and the case allows it, we can often start the same day.

Keeping the result after braces come off

Teeth have a long memory. Without a retainer they start drifting back within weeks of debond, which is why wearing yours as prescribed is the single best way to protect the time and money you just invested. Our Retainer Protection Program is a one-time $495 enrollment at debond that covers replacement retainers for seven years — two sets each year, with a $25 copay per set instead of a full-price replacement.
