Why Thornton Families Choose Shine Orthodontics
Common Questions from Thornton Families
When should my child first see an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7 — but it’s never too late to start. Early visits allow Dr. Scheer to spot developing issues and recommend treatment at the ideal time. We welcome patients of all ages at Shine Orthodontics. Learn more about early orthodontic treatment for children.
What happens at my first visit?
Your first visit to Shine Orthodontics is a free consultation. You’ll get a warm welcome and tour of our modern Thornton office, complimentary digital x-rays, and a thorough exam by Dr. Scheer. Using our digital tools, he’ll develop a personalized diagnosis and show you a preview of your future smile. We’ll then walk you through treatment options, costs, insurance coverage, and our flexible financing plans — with no pressure to decide on the spot.
How do I schedule my next appointment?
Simply call us at (303) 452-7777, text us, or book online through our website at any time. Our team will be happy to find an appointment that fits your schedule. If you’re a new patient, let us know and we’ll walk you through everything you need for your visit.
Does Shine Orthodontics accept insurance?
Yes — we accept most major dental insurance plans, including Colorado Health First (Medicaid). We’ll work with your insurance provider to maximize your benefits. For any remaining balance, we offer in-house, no-interest financing to make treatment affordable for every family. Learn more about our financing options.
What makes InBrace different from Invisalign?
Both are discreet alternatives to traditional braces, but InBrace is bonded to the backs of your teeth — completely invisible from the outside and always working, with no need to remember to wear them. Invisalign uses removable clear trays you swap every 1–2 weeks. Dr. Scheer will help you decide which option is the best fit for your lifestyle and goals during your consultation.
