Modern Tools That Work Smarter
Our LightForce 3-D printed brackets fit each tooth precisely. Movements stay on target, visits stay short, and results arrive right on cue.
Discreet Options for Teens and Adults

What to Expect: Your Orthodontic Treatment at LIONS
Orthodontic treatment at LIONS involves five clear steps: a free consult and digital scan, a personalized roadmap, appliance fitting day, regular progress check-ins, and the retention phase. Each step is designed to keep you informed, comfortable, and on track from your very first visit through your final retainer fitting. Getting started is easier than you might think. Here's how we guide you through each step:
Step 1: Free Consultation and Digital Scan
Your first visit includes a 3-D digital scan of your teeth. No gooey impressions. Dr. Zar reviews your bite, spacing, and alignment, then answers all your questions.
Step 2: Your Personalized Roadmap
We walk you through your options, whether that's Invisalign, metal braces, clear braces, or LightForce. You'll know exactly what to expect, how long treatment takes, and what it costs before you commit.
Step 3: Appliance Fitting Day
Once you're ready, we place your braces or hand you your first set of aligners. Dr. Zar makes sure everything fits comfortably.
Step 4: Regular Progress Check-Ins
You'll visit us periodically so Dr. Zar can adjust your braces or hand you your next set of aligner trays. Life is busy with school, sports, and work, so we bend ours. Braces or aligners never steal class time or PTO.
Step 5: Retention Phase
When your teeth reach their new positions, you'll wear a retainer to keep them there. We'll show you exactly how to maintain your results for years to come.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Orthodontic Treatment?
Good candidates for orthodontic treatment include children age 7 and up, teens, and adults dealing with crowding, gaps, overbites, underbites, crossbites, or open bites. Almost anyone who wants a healthier, straighter smile can benefit from care with Dr. Zar at LIONS Orthodontics, no matter their age or stage of life.
Children (Age 7+)
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends kids see an orthodontist by age 7. Early evaluation lets Dr. Zar spot developing issues like crowding, crossbites, or jaw growth concerns. Early intervention can simplify treatment later.
Teens
The teen years are a sweet spot for treatment. Crowding, gaps, overbites, underbites, and open bites all respond well during this stage. Your teen can focus on class, sports, or selfies, not sore spots.
Adults
You're never too old to straighten your smile. Clear braces and Invisalign offer discreet correction that fits a grown-up lifestyle. Many adults find treatment faster than expected.
Common Issues We Treat
- Crowded or overlapping teeth
- Gaps and spacing
- Overbite, underbite, or crossbite
- Open bite
- Crooked teeth
If you're unsure whether treatment is right for you or your child, a free consult gives you answers without pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
Most patients finish within 12 to 24 months, but this can vary depending on your individual needs. Dr. Zar gives you a realistic timeline during your consultation so you know what to expect.
What age should my child see an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an evaluation by age 7. At this age, enough permanent teeth have come in for Dr. Zar to identify developing issues. Early evaluation doesn't always mean early treatment, but it lets us monitor growth and act at the right time.
Does insurance cover orthodontic treatment?
Many insurance plans offer partial coverage for orthodontic care. We'll help you understand your benefits and get the most out of your plan. Our team handles the paperwork so you can focus on your smile.
What's the difference between Invisalign and braces?
Invisalign uses clear, removable trays that realign your teeth without food rules or metal. Braces use brackets and wires bonded to your teeth for steady, controlled movement. Both work well. We help you choose based on your lifestyle, goals, and the complexity of your case.
Do you offer virtual consultations for Brookville patients?
Yes. Start from home with a virtual consult. Share photos and information, and Dr. Zar will review your case and discuss next steps. It's a convenient way for any Brookville orthodontist hopeful to explore options before visiting our Glen Cove office.
