What to Expect: Your Orthodontic Treatment Process
Your orthodontic experience at Elizabeth Blake Orthodontics follows a clear, patient-friendly path. Most cases move through five steps, with total treatment typically running 6 to 24 months depending on complexity. Here's how your time with us unfolds from first visit to final retainer, with honest guidance at every stage.
Step 1: Free Consultation and Smile Assessment
Your first visit is complimentary. Dr. Blake and Dr. Peluso will meet with you, review your smile goals, and talk through which treatment options make sense. You'll leave with real answers, not a sales pitch.
Step 2: Digital Imaging and Custom Treatment Planning
We use easy digital scans, panoramic X-rays, and lateral cephalograph X-rays to build a precise picture of your teeth and jaw. Dr. Blake and Dr. Peluso then personally develop your personalized treatment plan.
Step 3: Placement of Aligners or Braces
Once your plan is ready, we'll place your clear aligners, clear braces, or metal braces. We take the time to walk you through care instructions, eating guidelines, and what to expect in the first few days.
Step 4: Regular Check-Ups (In-Office or Virtual)
You'll visit our Hopkinton office every 4 to 8 weeks for adjustments and progress checks. For simple check-ins, our Patient Virtual Braces Visit option lets you connect with us without leaving Southborough.
Step 5: Retainer Phase with Retainer Insurance Program
After active treatment wraps, retainers lock in your results. Our Retainer Insurance Program covers replacements if life happens, giving you long-term peace of mind. We also offer Patient Retainer Check appointments to confirm everything still fits properly.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Orthodontic Treatment?

Frequently Asked Questions
What insurance and financing options are available?
Every case is different, so the best place to start is a conversation. During your free consult at our Hopkinton office, we'll walk you through your insurance and financing options and answer your payment questions. There's no pressure, and you're welcome to ask as many questions as you need.
At what age should my child first see an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. At this age, Dr. Blake and Dr. Peluso can spot early signs of bite or alignment concerns while your child's jaw is still growing. Most kids won't need immediate treatment, but early evaluation gives us a head start.
How long does clear aligner treatment take?
Clear aligner treatment typically takes 6 to 18 months, though more complex cases may run longer. During your free consult, Dr. Blake and Dr. Peluso will review your smile and give you a realistic timeline based on your specific needs. Consistent wear (20 to 22 hours per day) is key to staying on schedule.
Do you offer free consultations?
Yes. Every new patient at Elizabeth Blake Orthodontics gets a free consult with no obligation. You can book an in-person visit at our Hopkinton office or start with a virtual consult from home. It's the easiest way to get answers about braces, clear aligners, or any other treatment option.
What's the difference between braces and clear aligners?
Metal braces and clear braces are fixed to your teeth and work 24/7 with brackets and wires. Clear aligners are removable trays you switch out every 1 to 2 weeks. Braces often work well for complex cases, while clear aligners offer a nearly invisible, flexible option for many teens and adults.
Do you treat adults?
Absolutely. A growing number of our patients are adults seeking discreet options like clear aligners or clear braces. There's no upper age limit for orthodontic care, and more adults than ever are choosing treatment. If you've been hiding your smile, now is a great time to change that.
