One question we hear all the time: "Is any of this covered by our insurance?"⁠
⁠
We get it, orthodontic treatment is a meaningful investment. The good news is that Owl works with most major insurance providers, and we handle the claims for you once treatment begins. We also offer interest-free in-house financing and work with CareCredit if you need additional flexibility.⁠
⁠
We want cost to be a conversation, not a barrier. Reach out or visit owlortho.com to learn more before your first visit.

Sore teeth after a tightening appointment? Totally normal, and it usually only lasts a day or two. Your mouth is adjusting to the new pressure, which means things are working. Soft foods, cold water, and an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen are your best friends right now. You've got this.

It started on 1152 Main Street, Buffalo, NY in 1955, and it never stopped. Since then, we have had one job: help Buffalo smile. What began as one office and one orthodontist has grown into something we are genuinely proud of. If you are thinking about starting your own smile journey, we would love for you to be part of the next chapter.⁠

Real talk — braces won't set off the metal detector at the airport. They won't pick up your neighbor's radio station. And no, they won't attract lightning (we promise).⁠
⁠
What they will do is quietly work hard every single day to get your smile exactly where it needs to be. That part's pretty cool.⁠

Going to the orthodontist for the first time is a little intimidating. We get it. We've heard it from basically every patient ever. ⁠
⁠
But here's what we also hear ... a lot: "That was way easier than I thought it would be."⁠
⁠
So if your brain is building it up into something scary, give yourself permission to let it be simple. Come in, meet the team, ask the questions you've been Googling at 11 pm, and see what's actually going on with your smile.⁠
⁠
No judgment. No pressure. Just good people who genuinely want to help. 🦉

They’re actually what keep your smile where it belongs after braces or aligners. Wearing your retainer as instructed helps prevent teeth from slowly shifting back, because yes, they really can move.

Good news: metal brackets don’t stain.⁠
The not-so-good news: clear or white elastics can.⁠
⁠
Highly pigmented foods and drinks are usually the culprits, but we switch out your ties at every visit, so stains aren’t permanent.⁠
⁠
Pro tip: Rinse with water after eating if you can’t brush right away.

Orthodontic treatment isn’t constant visible change. Some of the most important adjustments are subtle, steady, and happening beneath the surface.⁠
⁠
What feels like slow progress is often controlled progress, and that’s exactly what leads to a healthy, lasting result.⁠
⁠
Keep going! You’re making progress, even on the days it doesn’t feel like it.

These bite issues can impact chewing, jaw comfort, and tooth wear over time.⁠
⁠
The good news? Both are common, and both are treatable with orthodontic care.⁠
⁠
A quick orthodontic evaluation can help determine what’s going on, and what to do next.
