The Benefits of Orthodontic Treatments

There are many benefits of orthodontic treatments for our patients in the Austin area. Any of our orthodontic treatments can help you achieve:

1

Improved Oral Health:

Straight teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities, gum disease, and plaque buildup.

2

Balanced Bite & Comfort:

Correcting bite issues helps prevent jaw pain, TMJ problems, and uneven tooth wear.

3

Enhanced Confidence:

A straighter smile boosts self-esteem in both social and professional settings.

4

Better Function:

Orthodontics supports clearer speech and more efficient chewing.

5

Whole-Body Health:

Treating misalignment can reduce strain on the jaw and promote overall wellness.

6

Enhance Your Whole-Body Health

Orthodontics enhances your whole-body health in many ways. All orthodontic treatments help protect your teeth from wear and tear by being aligned correctly. Additionally, some specialized orthodontic treatments can help manage TMJ or airway issues. TMJ disorders can cause intense pain and stress your body.

If you are looking to enhance how you feel and how your smile appears, orthodontics can help you.

Comprehensive Orthodontic Solutions

We offer a complete range of orthodontic treatments to address various alignment and bite issues, from mild cosmetic concerns to complex orthodontic problems. Our options include:

Traditional Braces

Modern metal braces are smaller, more comfortable, and more effective than ever before. They remain an excellent option for treating a wide range of orthodontic issues, particularly for complex cases that require precise control of tooth movement.

  • Highly effective for complex cases
  • More affordable than some alternatives
  • Colored bands available for personalization
  • Cannot be removed (ensuring consistent treatment)

Invisalign® Clear Aligners

These custom-made, nearly invisible aligners gradually shift your teeth into proper alignment without metal brackets or wires. Invisalign is popular among adults and teens who prefer a more discreet orthodontic option.

  • Nearly invisible appearance
  • Removable for eating and cleaning
  • No food restrictions
  • Fewer office visits required
  • Digital planning allows you to preview results

Lingual Braces

These specialized braces are attached to the back surfaces of your teeth, making them completely hidden from view. They offer the effectiveness of traditional braces with the aesthetic advantage of being virtually invisible.

  • Completely hidden from view
  • Effective for most orthodontic issues
  • Custom-made for each patient
  • Ideal for professionals and those concerned about appearance

Additional Orthodontic Services

  • Early Treatment: Interceptive orthodontics for children to address developing issues and potentially reduce the need for extensive treatment later
  • Surgical Orthodontics: Combined orthodontic and surgical approach for correcting severe jaw discrepancies
  • Retainers & Maintenance: Custom retainers to maintain your results after active treatment
  • TMJ/Airway Treatment: Specialized appliances to address jaw joint disorders and breathing issues
