About Ziehmer Orthodontics

Ziehmer Orthodontics is a dental practice on North Scottsdale Road in the North Scottsdale area of Scottsdale, Arizona. 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.

Children benefit from starting dental visits early, generally by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth coming through, mainly so they become familiar with the setting before any treatment is actually needed. Establishing that routine early tends to make ongoing checkups far less stressful for both child and parent.

Payment and insurance arrangements vary by practice and by treatment, so it is worth asking directly what is covered and what options exist for anything that is not, rather than assuming either way. Getting that clarified before treatment starts avoids surprises once it is underway.

Beyond any single treatment, most dental visits start with an examination — checking for decay, reviewing the gums, and looking at existing fillings or crowns — often alongside X-rays where there is a reason to look between or beneath teeth. That groundwork is what a dentist uses to explain any findings and set out next steps before you leave.

Routine attendance, roughly every six months for most people, is what actually keeps small problems small. A lot of decay and gum disease develops without any pain in its early stages, which is why regular checkups matter even when nothing seems to be wrong, rather than only booking an appointment once something hurts.

What age is best for braces?
Assessment around age seven is often suggested so developing problems can be spotted, though treatment itself usually starts later once enough adult teeth are through. Adults can be treated at any age provided the gums and bone are healthy.
Will I need a retainer after braces?
Yes, and indefinitely in some form. Teeth have a persistent tendency to drift back toward their original positions, and retainers are what prevent years of treatment from gradually undoing itself.
Is orthodontic treatment only for children?
No. Adults make up a substantial share of orthodontic patients, and teeth can be moved at any age provided the gums and supporting bone are healthy.

I can’t say enough good things about Ziehmer Orthodontics! The office is beautiful, full of natural light, and just has a really calm, welcoming vibe. They even have an iPad in the waiting area where you can order any Starbucks drink you want while you wait, which is such a cool touch. They also offer a private room if you prefer a more private consult, which I really appreciated. The staff is always so friendly and helpful, and Dr. Z is genuinely the best. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, explains everything clearly, and is so kind throughout the whole process. As an adult going through orthodontics, I’ve felt completely comfortable and confident in his care. I have consulted with multiple orthodontists and it’s a no-brainer going with him! I’m so glad I chose this office and I recommend Dr. Z to anyone considering braces or aligners!

We’ve had three family members see Dr. Ziehmer, and every experience has been excellent. He is professional, detail-oriented, and someone we fully trust with our orthodontic needs. The quality of care he and his team provide is outstanding—they are always welcoming, attentive, and thorough. The office runs smoothly, and the results speak for themselves. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend Dr. Ziehmer and his staff!

Our experience with Dr. Ziehmer has been exceptional!!! The office is beautiful and welcoming. My daughter loves him and feels very comfortable going in. She has an expander and he's made the experience seamless! I'm very happy with how much change he's created in a short amount of time! Highly recommend!

Dr. Ziehmer and his staff are outstanding. We visited numerous ortho offices and spoke with several specialists in an effort to find the absolute best dentist to treat our kids. The range of recommendations from other ortho docs was varied and quite expensive. Dr. Ziehmer went through an incredibly thorough exam and presentation with us and told us what he thought was going to happen with both children. He made conservative recommendations and, one year later, his predictions were 100% accurate. Not only will he be treating our kids but he is treating several other family members. Don't waste any time like I did interviewing other docs - if you get a chance to work with Dr. Ziehmer, seize the opportunity. He truly cares about what he does and he is very good at it!
