Orthodontics is a dental specialty focused on diagnosing, preventing, and correcting misaligned teeth and jaws. Traditional braces use small brackets and wires to apply gentle, steady pressure for tooth movement. Modern options—such as clear ceramic braces, self-ligating systems, lingual braces hidden behind the teeth, and removable clear aligners like Invisalign—offer more comfort and flexibility. Regardless of the appliance, the goal is always the same: a balanced bite and a confident smile.
Misaligned teeth aren’t just a cosmetic concern. Crowding or bite issues can make cleaning difficult, increasing the risk of cavities and gum disease. Proper alignment improves both oral health and comfort by distributing bite forces evenly.
Our orthodontists design treatment plans tailored to your needs, age, and lifestyle—whether your child needs early guidance or you’re an adult looking for subtle straightening.
If you’re searching for an orthodontist open now near me, our clinics across California and Texas offer extended hours, weekend visits, and multilingual care to make your experience as easy as possible.
Our board‑certified orthodontists have years of training in biomechanics, facial growth and smile aesthetics. We stay current with advances in braces and aligner technology to ensure precise, predictable results.
We offer a full range of appliances—from traditional metal and ceramic braces to lingual braces and clear aligners—so you can choose the option that fits your lifestyle, budget and treatment needs.
Modern braces are smaller and more comfortable than ever. Clear aligners are nearly invisible and removable, making eating and oral hygiene easy. Our multilingual team offers emergency appointments, flexible scheduling and sedation options to keep you relaxed at every visit.
Straight teeth require maintenance. We provide durable retainers, follow‑up care and guidance to keep your smile aligned for life. With transparent pricing, flexible financing and insurance coordination, achieving an affordable orthodontic smile is within reach.

There’s no one‑size‑fits‑all approach to straightening teeth. We consider your bite complexity, aesthetic priorities, budget and lifestyle to recommend the best appliance. Clear aligners provide unmatched convenience and aesthetics, but braces offer greater control for severe malocclusions and don’t rely on patient compliance. Lingual braces are completely hidden but may initially affect speech and cost more. Ceramic braces blend with your teeth yet require careful care to prevent staining.

See how careful planning and modern materials create confidence.
Crooked, crowded or spaced teeth make brushing and flossing harder, raising the risk of plaque buildup and gum disease. An uneven bite can strain jaw muscles, trigger headaches, lead to TMJ disorders and cause uneven wear. Orthodontic treatment guides teeth and jaws into healthier positions, improving hygiene, chewing and speech clarity. A straighter smile also boosts confidence in photos, conversations and professional settings.
Evaluating bite problems early can help guide growth and lower the chance of extractions or surgery. For adults, low-profile options like ceramic braces and clear aligners provide discreet and convenient treatment. Orthodontics supports long-term oral health—not just appearance. Our orthodontists offer complete care across multiple locations for patients seeking expert guidance.
Most orthodontic cases take 12–30 months, depending on your bite and the type of appliance.
- Metal braces: about 18–30 months
- Clear aligners: often 12–18 months for mild to moderate cases
- Lingual braces: similar to metal braces
Your timeline depends on tooth movement speed, growth patterns, appointment consistency and daily compliance. After active treatment, the retention phase begins. Wearing removable or fixed retainers keeps teeth stable and prevents relapse.
