Orthodontic Services Available to Georgetown Guests
Sunrise Orthodontics offers braces, Invisalign, early treatment, and more complex care options designed to give you a confident smile for life. Here’s what we offer:
Braces for All Ages
Traditional metal braces are a fixed orthodontic appliance using brackets and archwires to gradually move teeth into proper alignment. They remain one of the most effective ways to straighten teeth and work well for kids, teens, and adults with various alignment concerns, including more complex bite issues.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign is a clear aligner system that uses a series of custom, removable trays to shift teeth into position over time. The trays are nearly invisible, removable for eating and brushing, and fit naturally into busy schedules. Invisalign offers a clearer, more comfortable option for many guests who want orthodontic care without traditional brackets.
Early Orthodontic Treatment
Early orthodontic treatment is care provided to children while their permanent teeth and jaws are still developing, typically around age 7. It is never too early for your child to begin their smile experience. Early evaluation lets us spot developing issues like crossbites or crowding and plan ahead. We also offer palatal expanders when needed.
Complex Care Options
Complex orthodontic care addresses cases that go beyond standard alignment, often involving skeletal concerns or unusual tooth movement needs. For more involved situations, we provide:
- TADs (Temporary Anchorage Devices) for precise tooth movement
- Surgical orthodontics coordinated with oral surgeons
- TMJ-TMD treatment for jaw discomfort
Diode Laser Therapy
Diode laser therapy uses a focused light beam to gently shape soft tissue around the teeth and gums. Our diode laser technology helps with soft tissue work, making certain treatments faster and more comfortable for our guests.
Retention Services
Retention is the phase of orthodontic care that holds teeth in their new position after active treatment ends. We’ll help you keep your transformations with custom retainers and ongoing follow-up care so your results last.

Frequently Asked Questions from Georgetown Guests
How far is Sunrise Orthodontics from Georgetown, CA?
Our Placerville practice sits roughly 20-25 minutes from Georgetown by car , following Highway 193 through the foothills. Many Georgetown families find this commute manageable, especially since orthodontic visits typically occur every 4-8 weeks during active treatment, not weekly.
Do you treat children, teens, and adults?
Yes! We see guests of all ages at Sunrise Orthodontics. Children can come in for their first evaluation around age 7, teens often start treatment when their permanent teeth have come in, and adults are always welcome too. It is never too late to start your smile experience.
What’s the difference between braces and Invisalign?
Traditional braces use metal brackets and wires attached to your teeth, working continuously to shift them into position. Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners that you change every one to two weeks. Both can deliver beautiful transformations, and the best choice depends on your specific case, lifestyle, and preferences. We’ll walk you through it together during your free consult.
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, enough permanent teeth have emerged for us to identify developing issues like crossbites, crowding, or jaw growth concerns. Early evaluation doesn’t always mean early treatment, but it gives us the chance to monitor growth and step in at the right time.
Do you offer free consultations or payment plans?
Yes. Your first visit is a free consult where we’ll examine your smile, discuss your goals, and outline treatment options with no pressure. We also offer flexible payment plans starting at $185/month , plus a payment calculator on our website so you can explore costs before you come in.
How long does typical orthodontic treatment take?
Treatment length varies based on your specific needs. Many guests wear braces or Invisalign for 12-24 months , though some cases are shorter and others take longer. During your free consult, we’ll give you a personalized estimate based on your smile goals.
