Orthodontics Austin

Austin residents now have more options and technology than ever in orthodontics. We’ve seen it happen at Ortho360 and we keep adding the latest to our practice to help our patients. We promise to stay current in orthodontics so everyone gets the best and most comfortable care possible.

Modern orthodontics is more than just metal braces, even though those are still helpful in many cases. We now offer a full range of treatments to meet the needs of different orthodontic patients and lifestyles. Changes in how orthodontic care is delivered have made it possible for people who may have delayed treatment in the past because of how it looked or how it fit into their lives to get it.

Understanding the science behind tooth movement helps patients understand the complexity and accuracy required in orthodontic treatment. Teeth move slowly when pressure is applied over time in a controlled way. To get the best results this requires careful planning and monitoring. We use our clinical knowledge and advanced diagnostic equipment to create treatment plans that take into account each patient’s unique dental anatomy and treatment goals.

Teaching patients is a big part of successful orthodontic treatment. We believe people who know more about their care make better decisions and usually get better results. During consultations we explain how teeth move, how long treatment will take and any concerns you may have about the process. This way of teaching helps patients feel good about their orthodontic journey and know what they need to do to get good results.

As more adults get braces to improve their smile the convenience factor has become more important. Many professionals and students prefer treatment options that don’t show up too much when they go about their daily lives. A lot of our Austin patients have chosen Invisalign because these clear aligners move teeth effectively while being almost invisible when worn.

Technology is changing orthodontic care for the better making treatments more precise and comfortable than ever. Digital imaging equipment allows us to create thorough treatment plans and show patients what their results will look like before treatment even starts. These pictures help patients understand how the process of change works and get them more excited about their upcoming treatment. The timeline of orthodontic treatment is different for everyone based on their needs and situation. Most people think of orthodontics as something teens do but we treat people of all ages who want to enhance their oral health and smile. More and more adults are getting braces because they know it’s never too late to take care of their teeth and boost their confidence.

Money should never stop anyone from getting the orthodontic care they need. We work directly with insurance companies to help patients get the most out of their coverage and we have multiple payment options. Our finance coordinators sit down with families and individuals of all income levels and give them detailed cost estimates and talk about payment arrangements that make treatment possible.

Orthodontic treatment has many benefits that go beyond a better looking smile. Cleaning properly aligned teeth is easy which reduces the risk of cavities, gum disease and other oral health issues for the rest of your life. Fixing bite problems can also stop jaw pain, migraines and excessive wear on teeth that can happen over time.

Choosing an orthodontist is a big decision that will affect both your oral health and your overall quality of life. We tell people who are considering becoming patients to research credentials, visit practices and ask questions to make sure they choose the right one for their needs and expectations.
