Quality orthodontic care shouldn’t be out of reach. We accept 18+ PPO dental insurance plans and maximize your benefits at every appointment. Our team verifies your orthodontic coverage before your consultation — many PPO plans include a lifetime orthodontic maximum that applies equally to braces and Invisalign.
For patients without orthodontic coverage or who need flexible payment options, we offer both Cherry and CareCredit financing — healthcare financing platforms with quick approval and flexible monthly payment terms. In-house payment plans are also available. Our Healthy Smiles Discount Plan provides discounted rates on orthodontic treatment for $89/year. Cost should never stand between you and a confident smile.
With all the orthodontic options available today, braces remain the most accurate, effective, and affordable way to straighten teeth. Because our orthodontic team controls every tooth movement with precision, braces can handle everything from minor crowding to complex bite corrections. According to the American Association of Orthodontists,
Here’s something that sets our North Dallas office apart from most orthodontic practices: every patient is treated in their own beautiful, private operatory. Many orthodontic offices use an open bay layout where several patients sit side by side during adjustments. We’ve found that patients — especially adults — don’t enjoy being in a room with other patients during treatment.
That’s why we designed our office differently. From our stunning chandelier lobby to your own private room, every visit feels comfortable and personal. Multiple TVs in every operatory mean you can watch Netflix throughout your appointment and pick your favorite color for your braces — all without an audience. It’s a detail that makes a real difference, whether you’re 8 or 48.
Orthodontic treatment does more than improve your appearance — straighter teeth are easier to clean and support better long-term oral health.
Our private operatories work beautifully for patients at every stage of life.
Children — Early orthodontic evaluations by age 7 are recommended by the AAO. At our North Dallas office, our orthodontic team assesses developing bite issues and crowding while the jaw is still growing and most responsive to guidance. An orthodontic expander or limited phase 1 treatment at the right time can simplify — or sometimes eliminate — the need for more extensive work later.
Teens — Whether your teen wants metal braces or the more discreet look of clear ceramic braces, our North Dallas team builds a plan around their goals, their timeline, and their budget. Netflix on during every appointment makes adjustment visits something to look forward to rather than dread.
Adults — Adult braces at our Preston Road and Forest Lane office are more common than most people expect. Whether you’re correcting teenage relapse, addressing a bite issue causing long-term wear, or simply deciding the time is right for the smile you’ve always wanted — our team treats adult patients at every life stage. The private operatories make treatment genuinely discreet.
Braces are effective for a wide range of orthodontic concerns:
Crooked or misaligned teeth — Improve the look and function of your smile with precise, controlled tooth movement.
Overbites and underbites — Align your jaw for better chewing, speaking, and long-term bite health.
Crowded teeth — Create space so teeth are easier to clean and less prone to decay and gum disease.
Gaps between teeth — Close unwanted spaces for a more uniform, confident smile.
Jaw pain or discomfort — Relieve strain caused by bite issues that misalignment creates over time.
Every smile is different, and so is every treatment plan. At our Forest Lane location, your options include:
Not sure whether braces or Invisalign is the right choice for your situation? Our North Dallas orthodontic team gives you an honest recommendation at your free consultation — not a default toward whichever option is more popular. We offer both under one roof.
And if a bracket pops loose or a wire pokes unexpectedly, our emergency orthodontist team gets you in fast.
Braces at our Forest Lane office typically range from $4,000 to $6,000 depending on case complexity and treatment length. Many PPO dental insurance plans include orthodontic benefits that can substantially offset this cost — our team verifies your coverage before treatment begins. Cherry and CareCredit financing are available for flexible monthly payment options.
Most patients are in braces 18–24 months, though simpler cases can finish sooner. Our orthodontic team maps out your personalized timeline at your free consultation based on your specific teeth and bite.
You’ll feel soreness for a few days after placement and after adjustments — that’s your teeth responding to new forces. It fades quickly and over-the-counter pain medication handles it well. Most patients adapt faster than they expected.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first evaluation by age 7. Many kids won’t need treatment that early, but early evaluation lets our team identify developing issues and time any intervention optimally. Free consultations are available.
Braces handle the widest range of cases including complex bite corrections; Invisalign wins on discretion and convenience for mild to moderate cases. We offer both at our North Dallas office and give you an honest recommendation at your consultation based on your specific situation.
