Orthodontic services in Franklin, TN

Braces are open to every age group, and the aligner range is named by audience — Invisalign® for adults, Invisalign Teen® for teenagers and Invisalign First® for children. And where the jaw rather than the teeth is the issue, we plan surgical orthodontics with an oral surgeon.

Traditional metal braces and tooth-colored clear braces — a proven, reliable option and a perfectly reasonable choice at any age. Plenty of adults choose them too.

Invisalign® Clear Aligners

Three aligner systems, one for each stage of life: Invisalign® for adults, Invisalign Teen® for teenagers and Invisalign First® for children. Removable, so you eat and drink normally, and a more aesthetic option at work, at school or in photos.

Surgical Orthodontics

For jaw discrepancies that moving teeth alone cannot correct. Dr. Roark plans and coordinates treatment together with your oral and maxillofacial surgeon, in both phases either side of surgery.

Common questions

Answers before you come in

How much do braces cost in Franklin, TN?

Most treatment at our office falls between $3,400 and $6,250 — and that range is the same for metal braces, clear braces and clear aligners, because we price by how complex the bite is rather than by the appliance. That figure includes everything — records, the iTero scan, all your adjustments, your first set of retainers and post-treatment check-ins. Your exact fee is quoted in writing at the free initial exam, before you commit to anything.

At what age should my child first see an orthodontist?

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first screening by age 7. At that age most children still have a mix of baby and adult teeth, which is exactly when jaw-growth problems are easiest to guide. Most of those visits end with no treatment at all — just a baseline and a plan to watch. Screenings at our office are complimentary.

Do you treat adults, and is it too late if I am in my 40s or 50s?

It is never too late — as long as your teeth and gums are healthy, teeth will move at any age. A large share of our adult patients choose Invisalign® clear aligners specifically because they are clear and removable — the more aesthetic option at work. Adult treatment typically runs 6 to 18 months.

Does Roark Orthodontics take insurance, and are payment plans available?

We are in-network with most major PPO plans that include orthodontic benefits, and our patient coordinator will verify your specific coverage before your first visit and show you exactly what it covers. We also offer 0% interest monthly payment plans: a down payment when treatment starts, then the balance spread across the months of treatment.

Where exactly is the office, and is there parking?

We are at 212 East Main Street, Suite 100, Franklin, TN 37064 — in the heart of historic downtown Franklin. There is free parking right in front of our office, down to Sweet Haven — please do not park in the spaces marked reserved on the other side of our building. There is also free parking on Main Street, and the 2nd Street parking garage directly across the street is free too.
