Orthodontic Services Available to Ione Guests
Sunrise Orthodontics offers a full range of orthodontic care including traditional metal braces, clear ceramic braces, Invisalign clear aligners, early Phase 1 treatment for children, palatal expanders, temporary anchorage devices (TADs), TMJ-TMD care, surgical orthodontics, diode laser soft tissue treatment, and retainers. Every plan is built around your specific bite, age, and smile goals.
Braces for Every Age
Metal braces remain one of the most reliable ways to straighten teeth and correct bite issues. We offer traditional metal braces along with clear ceramic braces for those who prefer a less noticeable option. Both work well for kids, teens, and adults.
Our orthodontists, Dr. Matthew Sanders, DDS, MS, and Dr. Jamie Kim, DDS, customize each treatment plan. No two smiles are the same. Your braces are adjusted throughout treatment to guide your teeth into proper alignment.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners to shift your teeth gradually. Many Ione teens and adults choose this option because the aligners are nearly invisible. You can remove them for eating, brushing, and special occasions.
Invisalign works for many cases, from mild crowding to more complex spacing issues. During your free consult, we’ll determine if Invisalign fits your needs.
Early Treatment for Children
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. At this age, we can spot developing issues like crossbites, crowding, or jaw growth concerns before they get bigger.
Phase 1 treatment addresses these issues early. Not every child needs early treatment, but evaluation gives us the chance to monitor growth and step in at the right moment.
Specialized Treatments
Some cases require additional approaches:
- Palatal expanders are appliances that widen the upper jaw to create space for crowded teeth and improve bite alignment.
- TADs (temporary anchorage devices) are small titanium posts placed in the jaw to provide precise tooth movement for complex corrections.
- TMJ-TMD treatment addresses jaw joint discomfort, popping, and dysfunction through targeted orthodontic care.
- Surgical orthodontics corrects severe jaw misalignment in coordination with oral surgeons when braces or aligners alone cannot resolve the issue.
- Diode laser treatment reshapes gum tissue gently for improved aesthetics and patient comfort during care.
- Retainers are custom appliances that maintain your results after active treatment ends.
Why Choose an Orthodontist in Ione, CA at Sunrise Orthodontics
Experienced Care You Can Trust
Dr. Matthew Sanders, DDS, MS, and Dr. Jamie Kim, DDS, bring advanced training to every case. As members of the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO), American Dental Association (ADA), California Dental Association (CDA), and Sacramento District Dental Society (SDDS), our orthodontists stay current with the latest techniques and research. Both doctors regularly attend continuing education courses to keep their clinical skills sharp.
Modern Technology for Better Transformations
We use the iTero Digital Impression System instead of messy traditional molds. Digital scanning is faster, more comfortable, and more accurate, and it lets you see a preview of your potential smile during your first visit. Our diode laser allows for precise soft tissue treatment when needed, and our digital treatment planning software helps Dr. Sanders and Dr. Kim map out tooth movement with detail. Updated imaging and chairside tools mean fewer surprises and shorter visits for you.
Treatment Plans Built Around You
During your free consult, we examine your teeth and bite, take digital scans, review your medical and dental history, and talk through your goals before recommending a path forward. We don’t use cookie-cutter methods. Whether you want a faster timeline, a discreet option, or care that fits a tight school schedule, your plan reflects those priorities.

Frequently Asked Questions from Ione Guests
How far is the orthodontist from Ione, CA?
Sunrise Orthodontics practices are located 45-55 minutes from Ione, depending on which location you visit. Our Placerville practice offers the most convenient drive for Amador County residents, with a straightforward route along Highway 104 and Highway 49. We also have practices in Rancho Cordova, Elk Grove, Dixon, and Roseville for those who work or have family in other parts of the region.
What age should my child first see an orthodontist?
Children should first see an orthodontist by age 7. At this age, enough permanent teeth have emerged for an orthodontist to identify developing issues like crossbites, crowding, or jaw growth concerns. Early evaluation doesn’t always mean early treatment. It gives our team the chance to monitor growth and step in at the right time if needed.
How much do braces or Invisalign cost?
Treatment costs vary based on your specific needs, case complexity, and treatment length. During your free consult, we’ll provide a detailed estimate after examining your teeth. We offer $185/month plans to make care accessible. Our online payment calculator can help you get a general sense of costs before your visit.
Do you accept insurance and offer payment plans?
Yes to both. We work with many dental insurance plans that include orthodontic benefits. Our team will verify your coverage and explain what’s included. For out-of-pocket costs, we offer flexible $185/month plans. Financial concerns shouldn’t prevent anyone from getting the care they need.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
Most orthodontic treatment takes 12-24 months, though this varies widely. Simple cases may finish sooner. Complex cases involving jaw alignment or significant crowding may take longer. During your consult, Dr. Sanders, DDS, MS, or Dr. Kim, DDS, will give you a realistic timeline based on your specific situation.
What are the credentials of your orthodontists?
Dr. Matthew Sanders holds DDS and MS degrees and specializes in orthodontics. Dr. Jamie Kim holds a DDS degree with advanced orthodontic training. Both doctors are active members of the AAO, ADA, CDA, and SDDS, and they pursue continuing education to stay current with the latest orthodontic techniques.
What’s the difference between braces and Invisalign?
Braces use brackets bonded to your teeth with wires that guide movement. They work continuously and handle complex cases well. Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners you change every 1-2 weeks. Both achieve great transformations. The best choice depends on your lifestyle, case complexity, and personal preference.
