Orthodontic Services Available to Elmore County Families
Elmore County families have access to a full range of orthodontic services at our practice, from traditional braces to clear aligners to airway-focused treatment. Dr. Rob Owen and Dr. Frank Litchfield, both board-certified orthodontists, tailor every treatment plan to the patient sitting in front of them. Here’s a closer look at what we offer.
Traditional Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces use brackets and wires to gradually shift teeth into proper alignment over the course of treatment. They remain one of the most effective ways to correct crowded teeth, irregular spacing, overbites, and underbites. Today’s brackets are smaller and more comfortable than what you might remember. For kids and teens especially, braces offer reliable results that parents can count on.
Invisalign® Clear Aligners
Invisalign® straightens teeth using a series of custom-made, removable plastic trays. Each set of aligners is made from precise measurements of your teeth. Most people won’t even realize you’re wearing them unless you come right out and say so. You can also keep eating the foods you love since there are no dietary restrictions to speak of. Our doctors are experienced in customizing Invisalign® treatment plans for families across the river region.
Invisalign Teen
Invisalign Teen is built specifically for teenage patients who want straighter teeth without the look of traditional braces. Removable aligners make brushing and flossing easy. And since they’re barely visible, most teens feel confident wearing them at school and in photos.
Family Orthodontics
Have multiple kids who need braces? We work closely with you to provide convenient co-scheduling for siblings at different stages of treatment. This saves you time and makes managing everyone’s care much simpler.
Airway-Focused Orthodontics
Our board-certified orthodontists evaluate tooth alignment alongside airway function for patients whose orthodontic concerns connect to breathing issues like mouth breathing or disrupted sleep. Treatment plans address both a straight smile and how your child breathes, sleeps, and develops, going well beyond cosmetic correction alone.

Frequently Asked Questions About Orthodontic Care in Elmore County
What age should my child first see an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends kids have their first orthodontic evaluation around age 7. At that age, enough permanent teeth are present for an orthodontist to spot potential issues early. Early evaluation doesn’t always mean early treatment, but it does allow us to monitor development and step in at the right time if needed. Families across Elmore County can schedule this first evaluation at any of our three locations.
What are treatment fees for braces in Elmore County?
Treatment fees vary based on case complexity and the type of braces or aligners chosen. At Montgomery, Prattville & Pike Road pediatric dentistry & family orthodontics, we offer free ortho consults so you can get a clear picture of fees before making any decisions. Our doctors and staff will walk you through payment plans that make orthodontic care accessible for your family.
Do you offer Invisalign for teens?
Yes! Invisalign Teen is a popular option at our practice. The clear aligners work well for teenagers who want a more discreet alternative to traditional braces. They’re removable, which makes eating and brushing easier. Many teens appreciate that their aligners are barely noticeable in photos.
Can I schedule a virtual orthodontic consultation?
Absolutely. Virtual consults let you connect with our orthodontic team without leaving home. You’ll share photos of your teeth, and our doctors will review your case and discuss potential treatment options. It’s a convenient first step for busy Elmore County families.
How long does orthodontic treatment typically take?
Most orthodontic treatment takes between 12 and 24 months, though every case is different. The timeline depends on what we’re correcting and how closely you follow your treatment plan. Simpler cases wrap up faster, while more involved bite corrections take longer. During your free consult, our doctors will give you a realistic timeline based on your specific situation.
