Braces are 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 orthodontic option for most patients. At our North Dallas office we offer metal braces, clear ceramic braces, and adult braces.
Metal braces are the gold standard — affordable, effective across all age groups, and highly precise for complex cases. Ceramic braces use tooth-colored brackets that blend with natural enamel for a more discreet appearance with identical clinical effectiveness. All braces appointments at our North Dallas office include multiple TVs in the treatment room throughout, so adjustment visits are genuinely comfortable.
Invisalign clear aligners let you straighten your teeth without brackets or wires — removable for eating, brushing, and flossing, and virtually invisible in professional and social settings. We offer Invisalign Teen with built-in compliance indicators for younger patients, and adult Invisalign for patients at any life stage.
Free consultations are available at our Preston Road and Forest Lane office. Our orthodontic team gives you an honest recommendation based on your specific case — not a default toward whichever option is more popular.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. At this stage our North 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 work later.
After active treatment, retainers are essential for protecting long-term results. Teeth shift naturally over time without retainer wear — particularly in the first year after treatment. We include retainers with all orthodontic treatment at our North Dallas office and guide every patient through a clear wear schedule.
Broken brackets, poking wires, and lost aligners need prompt attention. Our emergency orthodontic team gets North Dallas patients in for same-day repairs when possible. Call us immediately if you’re experiencing discomfort from a broken appliance.
Our North Dallas lobby features beautiful chandeliers and a genuinely upscale atmosphere — with complimentary coffee, tea, water, and drinks available for every patient and family member. From the moment you walk in, the experience is designed to feel nothing like a typical orthodontic or dental office.
For orthodontic treatment that spans 12–24 months of regular appointments, the quality of the environment adds up significantly over the course of your care.
Every operatory at our North Dallas office has multiple TVs so you can watch your favorite Netflix show or program throughout your appointment — whether you’re in for a free consultation, a routine adjustment, or any other procedure. Our patients consistently tell us the TVs make long appointments feel significantly faster and genuinely comfortable.
We accept 18+ PPO dental insurance plans at our North 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 weren’t aware of — a lifetime maximum that applies equally to braces and Invisalign. We make sure you use every dollar available.
For patients who need flexible payment options, we offer both Cherry and CareCredit — healthcare financing platforms with quick approval and flexible monthly payment terms. Orthodontic treatment is a meaningful investment over 12–24 months. Flexible financing means you don’t have to make a large upfront commitment to start. Ask our North Dallas team about current options at your free consultation.
Same-day treatment is available at our North Dallas location when clinically appropriate. For patients who call with an urgent orthodontic situation — a significant broken appliance, a poking wire causing injury, or a lost aligner — we work to resolve it the same day.
Your first orthodontic appointment at our North Dallas office is completely free. Our team evaluates your teeth and bite, 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.
Extractions and many oral surgery procedures are typically covered in part by PPO dental insurance plans, and we work to maximize your benefits so you pay the least amount possible. No insurance? Our dental discount plan and extended payment plans through Cherry financing keep your care affordable.

Children. Early evaluations by age 7, monitoring through development, expanders when appropriate, and phase 1 treatment for cases that benefit from early intervention. Our North Dallas team explains everything in age-appropriate language and builds comfort from the first visit.
Teens. Metal braces, clear ceramic braces, and Invisalign Teen — whichever best fits the case, lifestyle, and compliance level. We give honest recommendations including when Invisalign Teen is the better fit and when braces will deliver more reliable results.
Adults. There is no age limit for orthodontic treatment.
