Get to Know Dr. Lyndzie Brace

Choosing an orthodontist is about more than deciding between braces and clear aligners. You want someone who understands your concerns, explains the treatment process, and helps you feel confident about the decisions ahead.

Dr. Lyndzie Brace provides orthodontic care at our Northland Kansas City office. She evaluates how teeth fit together, whether there is enough room for proper alignment, and how treatment could improve each patient's bite.

Some children need early intervention, while others benefit from periodic observation. Teens and adults may have several treatment choices. Dr. Brace works with patients to identify an appropriate approach based on their individual orthodontic needs.

Before You Begin Treatment

Three Questions to Ask Before Starting Braces or Invisalign

Researching orthodontics online is a useful starting point. An in-person exam helps answer the questions that depend on your specific teeth, bite, and treatment goals.

How Much Will Treatment Cost?

Orthodontic costs depend on the complexity of your case, the treatment recommended, and the expected length of care. During your complimentary exam, we'll review estimated costs and available payment options.

What Will My Insurance Cover?

Explore Payment Options →

Are Braces or Invisalign Right for Me?

Both approaches can correct many orthodontic concerns, but they require different daily habits. Your bite, treatment needs, and preferences help determine which option may be the better fit.

Understanding Your Bite

Orthodontics Is About More Than Appearance

Crooked or crowded teeth are often the first signs that someone may benefit from orthodontic care. But tooth alignment is only one part of the evaluation.

An orthodontist also considers how the upper and lower teeth come together, whether certain teeth experience unusual contact, and how jaw growth may affect developing smiles.

At our Northland office, we'll explain what we see and whether braces, Invisalign, monitoring, or another approach makes sense.

What We Look For

  • Crowding or overlapping teeth
  • Spaces between teeth
  • Upper and lower bite relationships
  • Jaw growth in younger patients
  • Teeth that have shifted over time
  • Factors affecting treatment timing
Orthodontic Costs & Financing

What We'll Discuss

  • Your orthodontic evaluation
  • Recommended treatment options

Treatment Options

Braces and Invisalign in Northland Kansas City

We offer several orthodontic treatment options. The best choice depends on the type of tooth movement needed, your bite, and your preferences.

Invisalign Clear Aligners

Invisalign uses a series of removable clear aligners to gradually reposition teeth. Aligners can be removed for eating and brushing, but consistent wear is essential for treatment to progress.

Explore Invisalign

Traditional Metal Braces

Metal braces use brackets and wires to move teeth into better alignment. Because they remain attached, braces provide continuous control of tooth movement throughout treatment.

Explore Metal Braces

Clear Ceramic Braces

Ceramic braces work much like traditional braces but use tooth-colored or translucent brackets. They may appeal to patients who prefer a less noticeable fixed orthodontic appliance.

Common Orthodontic Concerns

Problems Orthodontic Treatment Can Address

From crowded teeth to bite discrepancies, orthodontic treatment can address a variety of alignment concerns.

Crowded Teeth Teeth overlap because of limited space.
Spacing & Gaps Extra space separates neighboring teeth.
Overbite Upper front teeth overlap the lower teeth excessively.
Underbite Lower front teeth sit ahead of upper teeth.
Crossbite Some upper teeth close inside the lower teeth.
Open Bite Some teeth do not meet when the jaws close.

Orthodontics at Every Age

Care for Children, Teens, and Adults

Children

An orthodontic evaluation around age seven helps identify developing alignment and bite problems. Many children won't need treatment immediately, but early monitoring can help guide future care.

Teens

The teen years are a common time for braces and Invisalign. As permanent teeth settle into place, orthodontic treatment can address crowding, spacing, and bite concerns.

Adults

Adults seek orthodontic treatment for many reasons, from improving alignment to addressing teeth that have shifted. We evaluate oral health and bite relationships before recommending care.
