Touch-Up Orthodontic Treatment at Lincoln Orthodontics
- October 24, 2025
Have you noticed a gap appearing between your teeth? Has a tooth shifted slightly out of place? Did you forget to wear your retainers for a while and now things aren’t quite a perfect as they used to be? Good news: it might be easier (and more affordable!) to correct than you’d expect.
Our touch-up treatment is designed for those small, but often necessary, tweaks that can make a big difference in how you feel about your smile. It’s simple, affordable, and tailored to help you look and feel your best. Whether you’re preparing for a big job interview, starting your first day of college, or walking down the aisle on your wedding day.
What is Touch-Up Treatment?
Touch-up treatment focuses on small cosmetic adjustments rather than major bite corrections. Even those who’ve had orthodontic treatment, it’s not uncommon to experience a minor orthodontic setback. Whether that’s caused by aging, genetics, or simply inconsistent retainer use, touch-up treatment is perfect for anyone who needs a quick reset. We often hear from patients who want to perfect their smile before a big event. Unlike other treatment options or what you may assume, touch-up treatment at Lincoln Orthodontics is perfect for those who’ve had orthodontic care in the past and need a quick refresh or anyone looking to perfect their smile before a big event. Unlike other treatment options, these touch-ups can be quick, affordable, and don’t require a full set of braces.


Who Can Use it?
We can provide touch-up treatments for anyone, but we’ve found the people who might need it most are:
- Teens and college students who got out of the habit of consistent retainer wear and have noticed shifting.
- Adults who want subtle changes without the commitment to years of braces or Invisalign.
- Teens or adults with minor spacing or overlapping tooth concerns.
- Anyone seeking cosmetic improvements without the need for major bite or jaw alignment changes.
- Minor tooth position improvements prior to major dental work like veneers or implants.
Why Patients Love it
Most touch-up treatments take less than three months from beginning to end. It’s really that fast! The average braces treatment can last anywhere from 18-22 months, depending on the individual and their treatment needs. This touch-up option allows you to get the quick treatment you’re looking for, without the time!
You’ll also get the same high-quality glued in and removable retainers we provide to full-treatment patients, ensuring your results last! We’ll go over all our retainer options with you to make sure we are getting the right fit for you and your future needs.
And because we keep these types of treatments affordable, it’s a great way to refresh your smile without blowing your budget. Our touch-up treatments only cost around one-third of a full set of braces, and oftentimes, a patient might only need either the top or bottom row of teeth in the mouth treated, therefore reducing the cost further. We offer easy, flexible payment options which include affordable monthly payments, and we accept payment throu HSA and FSA accounts, CareCredit, and orthodontic insurance. Our team is happy to help you navigate your benefits and get the most out of your coverage!
This option is open to all prior patients as well as new patients. We always enjoy welcoming a familiar face back into the office. Our process still involves a free initial consultation to take a full set of photos and a 3D CBCT Xray, a comprehensive exam by Dr. Emily Willett, and a conversation to review the treatment options together.

Touch-up treatment is quick, discreet, and effective. You can see results in a matter of weeks.
