Orthodontics in Alexandria, Virginia
Orthodontics is a specialized area of dentistry focused on diagnosing, preventing and correcting problems with tooth and jaw alignment. Orthodontic treatment can improve both the appearance and function of your smile by guiding teeth into healthier positions and creating a more balanced bite.
At Telegraph Dentists, we provide orthodontic care for children, teens and adults who want a straighter smile and better oral function. Treatment may address issues ranging from mild spacing concerns to more complex bite irregularities.
Why Proper Alignment Matters
When teeth are properly aligned, they are easier to clean and maintain. This can help reduce the risk of cavities, gum disease and uneven wear over time. A balanced bite can also improve how you chew and may reduce strain on the teeth and jaw.
Orthodontic treatment is not only about aesthetics. It can also help correct bite problems such as:
- Overbites
- Underbites
- Crossbites
- Open bites
- Crowded teeth
- Spacing between teeth
Orthodontic Treatment With Dr. Watson
At Telegraph Dentists, orthodontic treatment is led by Dr. Watson, our experienced orthodontist. Dr. Watson is board certified by the American Board of Orthodontics and brings both clinical and academic experience to patient care. Her approach focuses on creating healthy, confident smiles through personalized planning and careful treatment monitoring.
Because every smile is different, Dr. Watson evaluates your teeth, bite, jaw relationship and goals before recommending the most appropriate orthodontic solution.
Our Orthodontic Services
We offer orthodontic treatment options designed to fit a range of needs and preferences. Depending on your case, treatment may include braces, clear aligners and other orthodontic solutions tailored to your smile goals.
If you are exploring a more discreet option, you may want to learn more about Invisalign and other clear aligner solutions. If traditional treatment is a better fit, we also offer braces.
What To Expect With Orthodontic Treatment

Your first visit includes an exam and discussion of your smile concerns, bite and treatment goals. We will evaluate your alignment and determine what type of orthodontic treatment may be right for your case.
