Once treatment is underway, most patients come in every 6 to 8 weeks, so you are planning a handful of trips a year, not one a week. If you are also looking at care for Page County, we have a separate page for Shenandoah and Luray.
Make the first visit count
The consult is free and usually lasts about an hour. We take photos, X-rays, and a 3D scan with our iTero scanner, and Dr. Giardina or Dr. Young will go over your bite, the options that actually fit, a timeline, and the full cost before you leave. No referral is required.
Two-visit start
Consult first, braces later
- Day one: exam, records, and a plan
- Go home and wait for a placement appointment
- Drive back another day to get braces on
Same-day start
Consult and start in one visit
- Exam, digital scan, and your plan and price
- Time for every question your family has
- If you are ready, braces go on or Invisalign starts that day
It is always your call. If you would rather think it over, check insurance, or talk it through at home, come back another day. The consult is free either way. You can read more about same-day braces.

Fitting visits into a New Market school week
We are open Monday through Thursday, 8am to 5pm. Most patients come in every 6 to 8 weeks once treatment is underway, so you are planning a handful of trips a year, not one a week.
For students at Ashby-Lee Elementary, North Fork Middle, and Stonewall Jackson High, a morning appointment and a late arrival at school is often easier than driving down after the last bell. We also see teens from Shenandoah Valley Academy in New Market.
Since we are open Monday to Thursday, schedule your next visit at checkout so it lands on a day that works with your job and the school calendar.
Bringing two kids, or a kid and a parent? Let us know when you call and we can often line up consults back to back, so it is one trip for the whole family.
You can call, text, or send a photo to (540) 433-8814. If something with a bracket, wire, or aligner does not feel right, a photo is often enough for us to tell you whether it can wait until your next visit.
Damon braces patients usually come in every 6 to 12 weeks instead of every 4. That is fewer drives over the course of treatment.
Not ready to make the drive? Send six photos of your smile for a virtual consultation, and Dr. Giardina will go over them with you first.

Braces and Invisalign options for Shenandoah County families
Every option below is available at your free consult. We will tell you which ones fit your bite, and you choose what fits your life. Results vary, and braces or waiting can be the better plan when aligners will not do enough.
Invisalign
Invisalign is a series of clear, removable aligners made from a 3D scan of your teeth. You take them out to eat, brush, and floss, and they should be worn about 22 hours a day. You switch sets every week or two and come in about every 6 to 8 weeks, which is a workable rhythm for a New Market drive. Invisalign Teen has small blue dots that fade with wear, so parents can see they are being worn. Adults use the same system, including for crowding, spacing, bite issues, or teeth that shifted after earlier braces.
Invisalign in Harrisonburg Invisalign for teens Adult orthodonticsDamon braces
Damon braces use self-ligating brackets with a small built-in door instead of elastic ties to hold the archwire. Visits are typically every 6 to 12 weeks, so there are often fewer drives over the course of treatment. They are offered in metal or in Damon Clear.
How Damon braces workClear ceramic braces
Tooth-colored brackets that are harder to spot in photos. A common pick for older teens and adults who want fixed braces without the metal look.
About ceramic bracesTraditional metal braces
Smaller than the braces many parents remember, and a reliable choice for almost any case. Kids can pick new band colors at each visit.
About metal bracesChampagne gold braces
The same kind of system as metal braces, with gold-toned brackets.

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic checkup by age 7. Most kids are not ready for treatment yet, and they can join our free Kids Club for monitoring.
