At Thrive Dental & Orthodontics in Sachse, orthodontic care is led by Dr. Raamis Hirani — a board-certified orthodontist with advanced specialty training focused exclusively on diagnosing and treating misaligned teeth and bites. When you choose Thrive Sachse for braces or Invisalign, you’re being treated by a specialist, not a general dentist offering orthodontics as a secondary service.
We’re located on the corner of Highway 78 and Woodbridge Parkway, directly across from Walmart. Get directions. Free consultations are available — no commitment, no pressure, just a clear picture of your options. Book yours today.
We know that choosing an orthodontist — especially for your child — is about more than clinical credentials. It’s about finding a team you trust, an office your family actually wants to come back to, and an experience that makes the whole process feel manageable.
At our Sachse location, our kids’ playroom has video games and cartoons so younger siblings can play while patients are in their appointments. We use digital X-rays that minimize radiation exposure. Our 3D scanner means no impressions for anyone. And our front desk team reviews your insurance benefits with you so you leave every appointment knowing exactly where you stand financially.
Free consultations are available for new patients. Dr. Hirani evaluates your teeth and bite, explains the findings clearly, and walks you through every realistic option — including what happens if you choose not to treat. There’s no pressure and no commitment required.
Braces remain the most versatile and reliable orthodontic treatment available — effective for cases of every complexity, from mild crowding to significant bite correction. At our Sachse office we offer metal braces, clear ceramic braces, and adult braces for patients who want effective treatment that fits their lifestyle.
Metal braces are the most affordable option and highly effective across all age groups. Ceramic braces use tooth-colored brackets that blend with your enamel — the same clinical effectiveness with a more discreet appearance. Both include complimentary whitening for life after treatment is complete.
Invisalign clear aligners are a bracket-free alternative that lets you eat normally, brush and floss normally, and go through treatment virtually undetected. Custom-made aligners shift your teeth gradually — you change to a new set every one to two weeks and check in with Dr. Hirani every six to eight weeks.
We use a 3D digital intraoral scanner at our Sachse office — no goopy impressions. Your aligners are fabricated from a precise digital scan of your teeth, and we can show you a simulation of your projected result before treatment begins. We also offer Invisalign Teen for younger patients with built-in compliance indicators.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. At this stage, Dr. Hirani can identify developing issues — crowding, bite problems, jaw discrepancies — while the jaw is still growing and easier to guide. Early intervention with an orthodontic expander or limited braces can simplify or sometimes eliminate the need for more extensive treatment later.
Early evaluation doesn’t always mean early treatment. Many children benefit from monitoring until the right time. But knowing where things stand early gives you options — and options are valuable.
The end of active treatment is not the end of your orthodontic investment. Teeth shift back naturally, particularly in the first year after treatment. We include retainers with all orthodontic treatment and guide you through a wear schedule that protects your results long-term. Most patients transition to nighttime-only retainer wear and continue indefinitely to maintain their smile.
Broken brackets, poking wires, and lost aligners need prompt attention. Our emergency orthodontist line gets Sachse patients seen quickly — call us and we’ll get you in for a same-day repair when possible.
Children (ages 7–12): Early evaluations, monitoring, expanders when appropriate, and phase 1 treatment for cases that benefit from early intervention.
Teens: Metal braces, clear braces, and Invisalign Teen — whatever best fits their case, lifestyle, and compliance level. Dr. Hirani will give you an honest recommendation, including when Invisalign Teen is a great fit and when braces are the more reliable choice.
Adults: There’s no upper age limit for orthodontic treatment. We treat adults at every stage of life — whether you’re correcting teenage relapse, addressing a bite issue, or pursuing a smile transformation alongside cosmetic work.
After completing orthodontic treatment at Thrive, all patients receive complimentary custom whitening trays — a finishing touch that makes a real difference in the final result.
We accept most major PPO dental insurance plans at our Sachse location. Many plans include orthodontic benefits — a lifetime maximum that applies to both braces and Invisalign. Our team verifies your orthodontic coverage before your consultation so you know exactly what your plan contributes before making any decisions.
For patients without orthodontic insurance, in-house payment plans spread treatment costs into monthly installments over the treatment period. Our Healthy Smiles Discount Plan also provides a 20% discount on orthodontic treatment for $89/year. Visit our insurance page for the full carrier list.
It varies by individual, but most treatments last 12–24 months. We’ll provide a detailed timeline at your consultation.
In many cases, yes! Invisalign is highly effective for mild to moderate alignment issues and offers the bonus of flexibility and invisibility.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first check-up by age 7—even if no treatment is needed, early evaluations can help guide future care.
