At Thrive Dental & Orthodontics in Dallas, our orthodontic team offers braces and Invisalign for children, teens, and adults at our office on the corner of Frankford and Preston Road. Free consultations are available with no commitment required. We use a Medit digital intraoral scanner for all orthodontic records — no impressions, no putty, no gagging. And we take digital X-rays and photos that we display directly on the TVs in your treatment room so you see exactly what we see and understand your treatment clearly before committing to anything.
Our chandelier lobby offers complimentary coffee, tea, and water. Every treatment room has two TVs with Netflix, earphones for your listening comfort, and a warm towel after every procedure. We accept 18+ PPO dental insurance plans, maximize your benefits at every visit, and offer Cherry financing and in-house payment plans for flexible payment options.

Braces remain the most versatile and reliable orthodontic treatment available — effective across every level of case complexity, from mild crowding to significant bite correction, and the most affordable option for most patients. At our Dallas office we offer metal braces, clear ceramic braces, and adult braces.
Metal braces are the most affordable option and deliver highly predictable results across all age groups. Ceramic braces use tooth-colored brackets that blend with natural enamel for a more discreet appearance with the same clinical effectiveness. All braces treatment at our Dallas office uses the Medit digital scanner for records — no impressions. And every adjustment appointment includes Netflix on two TVs, earphones, and a warm towel when you’re done.
Invisalign clear aligners allow you to straighten your teeth without brackets or wires — removing them to eat, brush, and floss normally, and going through treatment virtually undetected. At our Dallas office we use the Medit intraoral scanner for all Invisalign records — the digital scan generates a precise 3D model of your teeth in minutes and allows us to produce a simulation of your projected smile before your first aligner arrives.
We offer Invisalign Teen with built-in compliance indicators for younger patients, and adult Invisalign for patients at any life stage. See our full Dallas Invisalign page for complete details.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. At this stage our Dallas orthodontic team can identify developing crowding, bite problems, or jaw discrepancies while the jaw is still growing and most receptive to guidance. An orthodontic expander or limited phase 1 treatment used at the right time can simplify or sometimes eliminate the need for more extensive treatment later.
After active treatment, retainers are essential for protecting results long-term. Teeth shift naturally over time without retainer wear — particularly in the first year after treatment. We include retainers with all orthodontic treatment at our Dallas office and guide every patient through a clear, realistic wear schedule.
Broken brackets, poking wires, lost aligners, and loose bands need prompt attention. Our emergency orthodontic team gets Dallas patients in for same-day repairs when possible. Call us immediately if you’re experiencing discomfort from a broken appliance — don’t wait for your next scheduled adjustment.
We accept 18+ PPO dental insurance plans at our Dallas location and maximize your benefits at every appointment. Our team verifies your coverage before your consultation, explains exactly what your plan contributes toward braces or Invisalign, and tracks your remaining benefits throughout treatment. Many patients have orthodontic benefits included in their plan they didn’t know they had — a lifetime maximum that applies equally to braces and Invisalign. We make sure you use every dollar.
Children. Early evaluations by age 7, monitoring through development, expanders when appropriate, and phase 1 treatment for cases that benefit from early intervention. Our Dallas orthodontic team builds confidence from the very first appointment and explains everything in age-appropriate language.
Teens. Metal braces, clear ceramic braces, and Invisalign Teen — whichever best fits the case, lifestyle, and compliance level. Honest recommendations including when Invisalign Teen is ideal and when braces will deliver more reliable results. Adjustment appointments fit around school schedules.
Adults. There is no upper age limit for orthodontic treatment. Whether you’re correcting teenage relapse, addressing a bite issue causing long-term wear, or pursuing a smile transformation you’ve always wanted — our Dallas orthodontic team treats adult patients at every life stage. Discreet options including ceramic braces and Invisalign fit naturally into professional and social settings. Cherry financing and in-house payment plans make starting treatment manageable at any income level.
We use the Medit intraoral scanner at our Dallas office for all orthodontic records. It captures a precise 3D digital model of your teeth in minutes — no trays, no putty, no gagging, no mess. The scan is more accurate than any physical impression, feeds directly into your Invisalign or braces treatment plan, and allows us to show you a digital simulation of your projected results before treatment begins.
The Medit scanner is also used at our Dallas office for crowns, bridges, and dentures — the same precision technology across every procedure that requires a model of your teeth. For patients who have avoided orthodontic treatment because of bad impression experiences at other offices, this changes the process entirely.
We take digital panoramic X-rays and high-quality intraoral photos at every relevant appointment — and we show them on the TVs in your treatment room in real time. You see exactly what your orthodontist sees. Your current alignment, the specific bite issues being addressed, and the clinical rationale for your treatment plan are all explained with your own images on screen.
This matters most at your consultation. Patients who see their own X-rays consistently leave with a complete understanding of why treatment is recommended and what it will accomplish — not just a verbal summary and a brochure. It’s also how we review progress during adjustment appointments so you can see your teeth moving over the course of treatment.
Every operatory at our Dallas location has two TVs — one above the chair and one at eye level — with Netflix available throughout your appointment. Earphones are provided in every room for full audio immersion. A warm towel is given after every procedure.
For orthodontic treatment that spans 12–24 months of regular appointments, these details add up. Our Dallas team believes every visit should be a genuinely comfortable experience — not something to get through.
Our Dallas lobby is designed to feel nothing like a typical orthodontic office. Beautiful chandeliers, a welcoming atmosphere, and complimentary coffee, tea, and water for every patient and family member waiting. The quality of the waiting area matters over the course of a multi-year treatment relationship — and ours reflects the level of care we bring to everything we do.
We offer Cherry patient financing — a healthcare financing platform with quick approval and flexible monthly payment terms — alongside in-house payment plans at our Dallas office. Orthodontic treatment is a meaningful investment over 12–24 months. Flexible payment options mean you don’t have to make a large upfront commitment to start. Ask our team about current Cherry options at your free consultation.
Your first orthodontic appointment at our Dallas office is completely free. Our orthodontic team evaluates your teeth and bite, displays your X-rays on screen, walks you through your options, and gives you a realistic timeline and complete cost breakdown — including exactly what your insurance covers — before you make any decision.
Your free consultation begins with your X-rays and photos displayed on the treatment room TV — your actual teeth, your actual bite, explained in plain language by your orthodontist. You’ll understand exactly what’s happening with your alignment, why treatment is recommended, and what the options are before any decision is made.
From there we present your options clearly — type of treatment, realistic timeline based on your specific case, and complete cost information with and without insurance. Cherry financing and in-house payment options are explained if relevant. Most consultations take 30–45 minutes. You leave with a complete picture of what treatment would look like — not a vague estimate and a promise to call you back.
To book your free consultation: Book online or call (214) 306-8088.
Most dental insurance plans with orthodontic benefits apply a lifetime maximum that contributes toward both braces and Invisalign equally. Our team verifies your specific benefits before your consultation so you know what your plan covers before making any decisions.
For patients without orthodontic insurance coverage, Cherry patient financing provides flexible monthly payment plans with quick approval — designed specifically for healthcare costs. In-house payment plans are also available. Our Healthy Smiles Discount Plan provides discounted rates on orthodontic treatment for $89/year — $49/year for each additional family member. Visit our insurance page for the full carrier list.
One of the advantages of choosing our Dallas location for orthodontics is having general dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, and orthodontics all available under the same roof. Our Dallas team includes an orthodontist, a dentist, and a hygienist — so all your family’s dental needs are coordinated at one location without managing multiple offices.
General dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, and emergency dental care are all available at our Preston Road office. Many patients combine orthodontic treatment with cosmetic work — whitening, veneers, or bonding — after braces or Invisalign is complete. With everything under one roof, that coordination is completely seamless.
Our Dallas orthodontic office is at 17977 Preston Rd Unit A — on the corner of Frankford and Preston Road, convenient for patients throughout north Dallas and surrounding neighborhoods. We serve patients from Preston Highlands, Preston Road, Lake Highlands, Uptown, and Oak Lawn.
