Orthodontics 101: Ways To Straighten Your Teeth

from Dr. Taylor at A Perfect Smile Orthodontics in McAllen, Texas

Orthodontics is highly specialized. Every patient is different and has unique orthodontic needs. We offer several treatment options to help every patient achieve their best results.

You will be treated by a Board Certified Orthodontist who understands the right treatment for your situation.

We also offer free consultations so that you can have the confidence to move forward with a more beautiful and healthier smile!

Metal Braces

Traditional braces are made of metal and are effective for both children and adults.  

They are more comfortable today than ever before. Steady advances in technology mean that today’s braces are not at all the same experience as even 15 years ago.

This is the most affordable orthodontics option that will do a great job of getting your teeth looking great!

Invisalign

Invisalign is another very popular treatment in orthodontics. This treatment entails the use of a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners to straighten your teeth. No one can tell you’re wearing Invisalign because it’s invisible! The aligners are also removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment.  

There are no braces or wires that cause mouth abrasions, and brushing and flossing are easy.

Other Orthodontics Options

We also offer a wide range of other orthodontic options. Whatever your situation, our Board Certified Orthodontist can find the right fit to straighten your teeth. 

Years of extra training are required for a dentist to become an Orthodontist, and even more years are required for Board Certification.

Get the best.

Invisalign Teen is a special Invisalign product specifically made for teenagers. It uses the same Invisalign technology, but specifically designed for the needs of teens.

3. Clear Braces

Clear braces are perfect for patients who want the most aesthetic braces available or who want to emphasize the color of their elastics. The colored elastics look awesome on our clear braces; they literally “pop” off their teeth.

 

Our clear braces don’t discolor and stay looking crystal clear throughout your entire treatment. We use clear braces on the upper and lower teeth, giving our patients the most aesthetic clear braces treatment option.

4.Traditional Metal Braces

Our metal braces are the smallest and most effective metal braces available. The same assortment of colored elastics available for our clear braces is also available for our metal braces, so you can personalize your smile any way you want!
