Most Kaysville Patients Want to Know Three Things
QUESTION 1
How much will this cost?
QUESTION 2
Will braces or Invisalign work better?
QUESTION 3
How long will treatment take?
Your free consultation answers all three before you commit to anything. The rest of this page covers each one.
How Much Do Braces or Invisalign Cost Near Kaysville?
Most orthodontic websites dodge this question. We won’t. Here’s what to realistically expect.
At Bailey-Welling, braces, Invisalign, and Iconix esthetic braces are all priced the same. The decision is clinical, not financial.
What drives your final cost:
Treatment Length
Cases under 6 months, under 1 year, and over 1 year fall into different ranges.
Case Complexity
How much tooth movement is needed and whether bite correction is involved.
Your Insurance
Most dental plans include orthodontic benefits. We apply them directly at your consultation.

For shorter touch-up cases and minor corrections.
Your free consultation includes a full cost breakdown with your insurance benefits already factored in.
Braces vs. Invisalign: Which One Is Right?
This is the question most people come in unsure about. Neither is universally better. Because treatment is priced the same regardless of which you choose, the recommendation comes down to what works best clinically for your case.
Braces may be the better fit when:
- The case is more complex or requires precise control
- You’re treating a younger child where consistent aligner wear may be a concern
- Maximum bite correction is the priority
- You want a treatment schedule that doesn’t depend on you
Invisalign may be the better fit when:
- You want something discreet at work, in photos, or on Zoom
- You’re an adult or a motivated teen
- You need to remove aligners for sports or a musical instrument
- Flexible, removable treatment fits your lifestyle better
Orthodontic Treatments We Offer Near Kaysville
Braces
Our P21 self-ligating brackets use a slide mechanism instead of elastic ties: less friction, faster movement, fewer adjustment appointments. For a more discreet look, Iconix champagne-colored brackets blend with your teeth while delivering the same results.

Bailey-Welling is Davis County’s Diamond+ Invisalign Provider. We offer Invisalign for kids starting at age 7, Invisalign Teen, and Invisalign for adults across all complexity levels.
See Invisalign OptionsKids Orthodontics
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first evaluation by age 7. Most kids don’t need treatment that early, but catching issues during growth can make a meaningful difference later. Our 7 & Up Kids Club monitors developing smiles at no cost until the time is right.
Learn About Ortho for KidsTeen Orthodontics
The most common treatment window. Most permanent teeth are in, natural growth is still working in your favor, and both braces and Invisalign Teen are on the table. Same-day starts are available once a plan is set.
Learn About Ortho for TeensAdult Orthodontics
About half of consultations now are adults: people who missed treatment earlier, or whose teeth have shifted over time. If you’ve been putting it off because you thought it was too late, it isn’t. Both offices see adults every day and the process is the same as for anyone else.
Learn About Adult OrthodonticsWhy See an Orthodontist Instead of a General Dentist for Invisalign?
A lot of general dentists offer Invisalign now, and for very simple cases that can work fine. But there’s a real difference in training.
An orthodontist is a dental specialist. After dental school, they complete two to three additional years of full-time residency focused entirely on moving teeth and correcting bites. Dr. Welling and Dr. Rett are both residency-trained orthodontists. That’s all they do, all day.
Why it matters for your case:
Bite correction, not just straightening
Moving the front teeth is the easy part. Getting the bite to fit correctly, so your teeth wear evenly and last, is where specialist training shows.
Complex cases
Crowding, jaw alignment, and difficult movements are routine for an orthodontist and often beyond what a general dentist takes on.
The full picture
An orthodontist evaluates jaw growth and development, not just the teeth you can see. That matters most for kids and teens.
If your case is simple, you’ll have great options either way. If it’s not, the specialist training is the difference between a result that looks good for a year and one that lasts.
Conditions We Treat Near Kaysville
If you’re not sure what your issue is called, that’s fine. Bring yourself or your child in and we’ll tell you exactly what we see. These are the most common things we treat:
Crowded Teeth
Not enough room in the arch for all your teeth, often from a narrow arch. One of the most common reasons people seek treatment. Leaving it alone can make cleaning harder and shift teeth further over time.
Overbite / Deep Bite
Upper front teeth that overlap the lower teeth too much. A common bite alignment issue that can cause uneven wear and jaw discomfort if left untreated.
Underbite
Lower teeth sitting in front of the upper teeth. This is a jaw alignment concern that’s best addressed early in kids while the jaw is still growing, but it’s treatable in adults too.
Overjet / Protruding Teeth
Upper front teeth that stick out horizontally past the lower teeth, sometimes called “buck teeth.” Very common, very treatable, and one most people don’t know the name for until they see it described.
Crossbite
Upper and lower teeth that don’t line up correctly side to side. Can affect bite function and jaw development if it isn’t corrected.
Open Bite
Upper and lower front teeth that don’t meet when the back teeth are together. Can lead to chewing difficulties and speech concerns.
Gap Teeth / Spacing
Spaces between teeth, from a single gap to general spacing throughout the arch.
Crooked Teeth
Teeth that are rotated, tilted, or out of position. Beyond appearance, crooked teeth can affect bite alignment and make some spots harder to clean. Braces and Invisalign both work well for most cases.
Impacted Teeth
Teeth that don’t fully emerge, often because there isn’t room for them. We can help guide them into place, sometimes alongside other treatment.
Airway and Sleep-Disordered Breathing
This is one most families never think to ask about, and many orthodontists don’t screen for it. Jaw structure and tooth alignment can affect how well a person breathes, especially during sleep.
If your child snores, breathes through their mouth, or seems restless at night, it may be connected to how the jaw is developing.
We screen for airway concerns at both offices as part of the exam.

Orthodontic problems rarely fix themselves, and most get harder to treat over time. This isn’t about pressure. It’s just worth knowing what waiting actually costs.
Crowding tends to get worse, not better, as teeth keep shifting.
Bite problems left alone can wear down enamel and strain the jaw.
Crowded or overlapping teeth are harder to clean, which can lead to decay and gum issues.
A case that would have been simple at 12 can become a longer, more involved treatment at 40.
For kids, there’s an added factor: certain issues are far easier to guide while the jaw is still growing. Miss that window and the same correction can require more.
None of this means you’ve waited too long. Adults start treatment every day and get excellent results. It just means the best time to find out where you stand is now, and the consultation is free.
What Happens at Your First Appointment
A lot of people put off scheduling because they don’t know what they’re walking into, or they’re worried about getting a hard sell. Here’s exactly what happens.
A warm welcome from the front desk
The team knows you’re coming. You won’t be standing at a counter spelling your last name twice.
X-rays and photos
The imaging needed to properly evaluate your teeth and bite, so the doctor has the full picture before walking in.
The doctor examines you personally
Dr. Welling or Dr. Rett reviews your case, explains what they find, and tells you exactly what they recommend. Not an assistant. The doctor.
A real treatment plan
Which treatment makes sense, why, and how long it takes.
Full cost details
Your insurance benefits, payment plan options, and out-of-pocket total before you commit to anything.
There’s no obligation to start that day. Same-day starts are available if you’re ready, but most people just leave relieved that they finally have a straight answer.

How Long Does Orthodontic Treatment Take?
The honest answer is that it depends on your case, but here’s a realistic range so you’re not going in blind.
MINOR CORRECTIONS
6 to 12 months
Minor crowding or small adjustments often finish in this range.
COMPREHENSIVE CASES
12 to 24 months
Cases involving more tooth movement or bite correction usually run in this range.
Two things move the timeline more than anything else: how complex the case is, and how consistently you follow the plan. With Invisalign that means wearing the aligners the recommended hours each day. With braces it mostly takes care of itself. The doctor will give you a specific estimate at your consultation once they’ve seen your teeth and bite.
After Active Treatment: Retainers
Retainers keep everything in place once your braces come off or your Invisalign treatment ends. Teeth naturally try to drift back over time, so wearing a retainer as directed is what protects the result you just spent months earning. We build long-term retention into every case so the work lasts.
Your Orthodontists
Dr. Andrew Welling
DDS, MS in Orthodontics · University of Iowa
Dr. Welling grew up in Bountiful. He was a patient at this practice before he became the orthodontist who leads it. That’s not a marketing line. It’s the reason he came back to Davis County after finishing his residency and Master’s Degree at the University of Iowa, where he earned awards for clinical excellence, leadership, and character. He lives here with his family. His patients are his neighbors.
Full BioDr. Rett Cortez
Dental Degree, University of Utah · Orthodontic Residency, Loma Linda University
Dr. Rett focuses on the part of orthodontics most doctors don’t talk about: what it actually feels like to go from hiding your smile to not thinking about it anymore. He builds long-term relationships with his patients because he believes the result matters beyond the day the braces come off.
Full Bio
Local Roots
Dr. Welling sees Kaysville families as neighbors
He grew up in Bountiful. He was a patient at this practice before he became the orthodontist who leads it. Today he serves the same Davis County community he calls home, and you’ll see him at local events as often as in the office.
That’s a different kind of orthodontist than what you’ll find at most corporate-owned practices. Your kids’ orthodontist is your neighbor.

Our Farmington office at 122 E State St, Farmington, UT 84025 is about 5 minutes from Kaysville via US-89 or I-15. Our Bountiful office at 59 W Pages Ln #100, Bountiful, UT 84010 is about 10 minutes south on I-15. Both are easy on-and-off the freeway.
Do you accept insurance for Kaysville patients?
Yes. We accept most insurance plans and verify your benefits before your first appointment. You’ll know exactly what’s covered before treatment begins. Flexible payment plans cover the rest.
What’s the best age to start orthodontic treatment?
The AAO recommends a first evaluation by age 7. Not because most kids need treatment then, but because certain issues are easier to address during growth. For most kids, comprehensive treatment starts between 11 and 14. Adults can start at any age.
Is Invisalign available for kids and teens near Kaysville?
Yes. Bailey-Welling is Davis County’s Diamond+ Invisalign Provider and offers Invisalign starting as young as age 7 for appropriate cases, including Invisalign Teen. Whether braces or Invisalign is the right fit depends on the case. The doctor will walk you through both options at your free consultation.
How much do braces cost near Kaysville?
Treatment at Bailey-Welling starts around $2,800 for shorter cases. You’ll get a full cost breakdown at your free consultation, including insurance benefits and payment plan options, before you commit to anything. See our financing page for more detail.
Can I start treatment the same day as my consultation?
Yes, if you’re ready. Same-day starts are available at both locations. There’s no obligation to decide on the spot, but if you come in knowing what you want, you can leave with treatment started.
Do you treat adults near Kaysville?
Absolutely. About half of our consultations are adults. Whether you want braces or Invisalign, both are available and both work well for adults. Come in and we’ll tell you exactly what makes sense for your case.
What is airway orthodontics?
Airway orthodontics considers how jaw structure and tooth alignment relate to breathing, sleep, and development. We screen for airway concerns at both offices, something many orthodontists don’t routinely do. Learn more about airway orthodontics in Farmington.
Does Invisalign hurt?
Most patients describe Invisalign as pressure rather than pain, usually for a day or two after switching to a new set of aligners as the teeth begin to move. It’s generally milder than the soreness that can come with braces adjustments. Any discomfort fades quickly and most people adjust within the first week.
How long does treatment take for teens?
It depends on the case, but most comprehensive treatments for teens run somewhere between 12 and 24 months. Simpler cases finish faster. At your free consultation, the doctor will give you a specific timeline based on what your teen’s teeth and bite actually need.
Do you offer payment plans for braces near Kaysville?
Yes. We offer flexible, interest-free monthly payment plans, and we apply your insurance benefits first so you only finance the balance. You’ll see the full breakdown at your free consultation before committing to anything. See our financing options.
Can you eat normally with Invisalign?
Yes, and this is one of the reasons people choose it. You take the aligners out to eat, so there’s nothing off-limits. You brush and put them back in afterward. With braces there are foods to avoid, like anything hard or sticky, which the doctor will go over with you.
Will braces affect my kid’s sports or playing an instrument?
Most kids adjust quickly. For contact sports, a mouthguard protects both the teeth and the braces, and we’ll fit one if needed. For wind and brass instruments there’s usually a short adjustment period, then it becomes second nature. Invisalign is also an option for kids who’d rather avoid brackets during these activities, since the aligners come out.
How long do I have to wear a retainer after treatment?
Retainers are part of keeping your results. Most patients wear them full-time for a stretch right after treatment, then shift to nights only. Teeth can drift for years, so we generally recommend nighttime retainer wear long-term to protect the work. We’ll give you the specifics for your case when your treatment finishes.
