Orthodontics
Braces
As a leader in advanced orthodontics in the Ellicott City, Columbia, Clarksville, River Hill, and surrounding areas, OX Orthodontix® offers braces to straighten your teeth and enhance your smile. Every treatment plan is customized to a patient’s goals, objectives, and lifestyle at an affordable price. From a virtual or in-person consultation, our orthodontic specialists will be able to recommend the best options for your orthodontic care.
WHY GO TO AN ORTHODONTIST FOR BRACES TREATMENT?
- All orthodontists have an additional 2-3 years of specialty training after dental school which makes them experts.
- Kids sucking on thumbs, toys, or blankets can cause significant dental problems early on that an orthodontist can identify and correct.
- As kids and teens grow and develop new teeth, molars, and wisdom teeth, the jaws are developing and the orthodontist can identify the perfect time to start treatment.
- Adults seeking orthodontic treatment is more prevalent than ever, and teeth straightening options, whether braces or Invisalign, is available and affordable at any age.

Retainers in Howard County, MD
Once your braces are removed or Invisalign treatment is completed, you’ll move into the retention stage of your treatment. Retainers keep your teeth aligned and maintain a lasting, beautiful smile by holding everything in place. Retainers get old or can wear out with time so be diligent with your retainer and see us for a new one when you need or want it. Ask us about affordable back-up retainers to have on hand for additional peace of mind.
Retention Phase
Maintaining the results you’ve achieved with orthodontic treatment is key to the success of the entire orthodontic process. You’ll be provided with a retainer for the retention phase to help ensure your teeth don’t move from where they’ve been placed with treatment.
What Patients Are Saying
“I would recommend OX Orthodontix® to everyone. The office was amazing and accommodating, and very friendly. A place where I can take my kids. They offered me other things like getting my teeth whitening or doing anything else so that I can do everything here.”
Zoom Whitening
The team at OX Orthodontix® understands how proud you are of your smile after you finish orthodontic treatment. But even after the best results are achieved through Invisalign or braces, our patients often want to put a finishing touch to make their smiles brighter. Or, maybe you are a new patient who wants to brighten your smile after years of trying different strips and devices. That’s where Zoom Professional Teeth Whitening comes in, allowing our orthodontists to whiten your teeth up to eight shades!

Icon Resin Infiltration (ICON)
Resin Infiltration of White-spot Lesions
Resin infiltration is a minimally invasive treatment for post-ortho white-spot lesions (WSLs) and specific congenital hypocalcified enamel lesions (“hypo” spots).
WSLs are associated with subsurface enamel porosities caused by the demineralization of enamel. These spots often result from poor hygiene and associated plaque, bacteria, and acids.
The Procedure
The Benefits
Does it Work? Does it Last?
Unlike whitening products, Icon resin infiltration is considered a long-term treatment solution. Research shows stability for at least two years. That being said, we have had many patients with stable results for 6+ years.
We offer this treatment to help fade the appearance of white spots that result from poor oral care or were congenitally formed.
We cannot guarantee the spot will disappear altogether, but in most cases, it provides a significant cosmetic improvement in one simple, painless visit.
