Frequently Asked Questions

Who is a candidate for InBrace?

InBrace is excellent for patients with mild to moderate misalignment of teeth and bite issues. It is also the perfect treatment option for those who want to improve their smile without having visible braces or wires. The best way to determine if you are a candidate for InBrace would be to visit our office and speak with Dr. Markus. She will be able to take x-rays and analyze your teeth to decide if InBrace is right for you. We offer free consultations, so contact us today to schedule your first visit!

How is InBrace different from other treatments?

InBrace offers a revolutionary new way of straightening teeth. Unlike traditional braces, which require manual tightening appointments, InBrace features advanced Gentleforce technology that automatically moves the teeth into place with no manual adjustments needed. Plus, as the device is placed behind the teeth, you can show off your new smile while still undergoing treatment!

Will InBrace affect my speech?

InBrace is designed to be as unobtrusive as possible. As it is placed behind the teeth, you should not experience any change in your speech pattern. As you adjust to wearing the device, your speech should acclimate. However, if you do notice anything different about your speech after beginning treatment with InBrace, please contact our team so that we may assist you further.

How do I maintain my smile after InBrace?

Once your orthodontic treatment is complete, it’s important to retain the results by wearing a retainer. Retainers help keep teeth in their new positions and ensure you can enjoy your new smile for years to come. Our office offers several types of retainers in Charlottesville, VA, and can help you pick the best option for your needs.

Girl Smiling with Braces
R&C G.
Mill Creek Orthodontics and their amazing Dr Markus Niepraschk are an outstanding choice for orthodontics and braces. I shopped around extensively, and compared a number of factors, before deciding on Mill Creek Orthodontics. I was so happy with what I found, so happy that subsequently all three of our children have gotten braces from Mill Creek Orthodontics.

This is what I found:
•the most competitive prices on the market
for braces
•a staff that has always been friendly, smiling and helpful
•clear and consistent communication at all times
•Dr Markus especially is a very creative problem solver. Whether it comes to your treatment or facilitating making the entire process possible, he is committed to finding solutions that will work.

I’ve been visiting the Mill Creek office for over five years straight, on an average of probably once a month, and can truly say that I have never once had a complaint, not been completely satisfied with the service, or left the office without feeling grateful that this was the orthodontist we decided to get our three kids’ braces from.

Thank you Mill Creek Orthodontics and Dr. Markus. We are grateful and hope you’ll have many more prosperous years ahead.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review! We are truly honored that you chose Mill Creek Orthodontics after doing such careful research, and it means the world to us that you trusted Dr. Markus Niepraschk and our team with the orthodontic care of all three of your children.

Hearing that your family has had such a positive experience over the past five years is incredibly rewarding. Our team works hard to create a welcoming environment, provide clear communication, and make every patient feel comfortable and cared for at each visit. Your recognition of Dr. Markus’s dedication to creative problem-solving and personalized treatment means a great deal to us.

Thank you for your continued trust and for being such a wonderful part of our Mill Creek Orthodontics family. We look forward to many more visits and to seeing even more great smiles from your family! - Dr. Markus and the MCO Team!

I really enjoyed my time as a patient with Mill Creek! I am so happy I chose Mill Creek. Dr. Marcus did a phenomenal job and had excellent attention to detail with my teeth. Additionally, Becca, Brooks, and Kirsten were always so welcoming and helpful. I also want to shout out Lillie who changed my bands often and removed my braces. She is phenomenal as well. :-)

Other pros: The pricing and treatment plans are very transparent. Appointments are efficient and quick. Communication is great.
Response from the owner:Aww Emily, Thank you so much for your kind words!
We are truly honored that you chose Mill Creek for your smile journey. It means the world to us to hear how happy you are with your experience and your results! Dr. Marcus takes so much pride in his attention to detail, and we know he will be thrilled to hear your feedback.

Lu S.
I am so pleased with Mill Creek Orthodontics! I began Invisilign with Mill Creek right before the Pandemic. In 2025, I needed some new retainers made, so I went back to Mill Creek Orthodontics and we just picked up, both in friendliness and professionalism, where we left off! I wouldn’t trust my newly straightened teeth to anyone else!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Lu for your kind words! It means a lot that you came back to us for your retainers and trusted us again with your smile. We’re so glad to hear your experience felt just as friendly and professional as before. Enjoy your beautifully straight smile and we’re always here if you need us! - Dr Markus and the MCO Team!
