Braces in Houston

Find the right braces for you

Traditional metal braces

Stainless-steel brackets and a thin archwire — the most dependable way to move teeth, for simple and complex cases alike. Kids love picking new band colors at every visit.

Clear (ceramic) braces

Tooth-colored brackets that blend in with your smile. They work the same way as metal braces and are a popular choice for teens and adults who want a subtler look. Ask about pricing for clear braces at your consultation.

More than a nicer smile

Straight teeth are easier to brush and floss, which lowers the risk of cavities and gum disease. A corrected bite spreads chewing forces evenly, reduces uneven wear, and can ease jaw strain.

The braces treatment process

Complimentary consultation — an exam, your options, timeline and price.
Records — photos, X-rays and a scan to plan your treatment.
Placement — brackets are bonded in one comfortable visit.
Adjustments — roughly every 4–8 weeks on your office's ortho day.
Retainers — to keep your teeth where they belong.
