About Gateway Smiles Dentistry and Orthodontics

Gateway Smiles Dentistry and Orthodontics operates on South Signal Butte Road in Mesa, Arizona. Clear aligners straighten teeth through a series of custom, removable trays, each worn for one to two weeks before moving to the next in the sequence. They suit mild to moderate crowding and spacing well, and are worn roughly twenty to twenty-two hours a day for treatment to stay on schedule.

Traditional braces use brackets and wires to gradually move teeth into alignment, handling complex bite corrections and significant crowding more predictably than removable alternatives. Treatment commonly runs one to three years, with a retainer worn afterward to hold the result.

Orthodontic treatment straightens teeth and corrects bite problems using braces, clear aligners, or similar appliances over a period that commonly runs from about a year to several years depending on the case. It is offered to both children, where early evaluation can catch developing issues, and adults at any age.

Left untreated, small dental problems tend not to stay small. A minor cavity that would have been a straightforward filling can progress to needing root canal treatment and a crown, and early gum inflammation that would have reversed with a good cleaning can progress toward bone loss around the teeth. Catching things early is generally the difference in both effort and cost.

Continuity matters in dental care — seeing the same practice over time means your history, X-rays, and any patterns in your oral health are already on file, rather than starting from scratch at each visit. That familiarity is part of what a regular dental home offers beyond any single appointment.

Dental anxiety is common, and most practices are used to working with nervous patients — through clear explanations of what is about to happen, a slower pace where needed, and sedation options for patients who want them. Avoiding the dentist out of anxiety tends to make eventual treatment more involved, not less.

What is the difference between an orthodontist and a general dentist doing braces?
An orthodontist has completed additional years of specialist training focused specifically on tooth movement and bite correction, beyond the general dental degree. Some general dentists also offer braces or aligners after extra training.
Can clear aligners fix any orthodontic problem?
They handle mild to moderate crowding and spacing well. Complex bite corrections and large tooth movements are still often better suited to fixed braces, which is something an assessment will clarify.
Do clear aligners hurt?
There is usually pressure and mild tenderness for a day or two each time you move to a new aligner in the series. That sensation is the teeth moving, and it typically eases as you get through each stage.

I’ve had such a great experience with this office! It’s so convenient having both my dentist and orthodontist in the same location. The entire staff is wonderful, and the front desk staff is especially amazing they are always friendly, helpful, and welcoming. I also appreciate that they offer payment plans for braces, which makes the process so much easier. I absolutely love Dr. Doe! She was my orthodontist when I had braces, and she was amazing then and continues to be amazing now. Overall, I’ve had a great experience with this office and would definitely recommend them!

Dr. Ledin is my absolute favorite. He does the best work and would highly recommend him. I have a fear of the dentist but having him as my dentist eases my mind on getting the work I need done. And the staff is absolutely phenomenal.
