Why Straighten Your Teeth?
Beautiful smiles aren’t just cosmetic—straight teeth make it easier to chew, speak and maintain good oral health. Yet many adults avoid treatment because they picture a “metal mouth” and endless appointments. Meanwhile, kids often dread braces because they seem boring and uncomfortable. We remove those barriers by offering two powerful options, easy financing, and the best orthodontists in San Antonio, Texas.
Clear Aligners for Adults & Teens
Imagine straightening your teeth without anyone noticing. Clear aligners are made of clear plastic and are much less noticeable than traditional metal braces—perfect for professionals and teens who want to feel confident in social situations.
Benefits of clear aligners
Aesthetic appeal: Their discreet design lets you smile confidently throughout treatment
Comfort & convenience: Aligners are custom‑designed to fit your teeth; they’re smooth and reduce irritation compared with metal brackets
Removable for easy hygiene: You can take them out to eat, drink, brush and floss. This makes it easier to maintain oral hygiene and avoid plaque or gum problems
Fewer office visits: Clear aligner treatment often requires fewer appointments; many systems offer remote monitoring, giving you more flexibility
No food restrictions: Because you remove aligners when eating, you can enjoy your favorite foods without worrying about breaking brackets
Predictable results: Advanced digital planning means each aligner set moves your teeth in a precise, controlled manner
Traditional Braces (Metal Brackets)
Some orthodontic problems—especially complex misalignments—need the consistent force that braces provide. For younger patients, around 8–14 years old, braces can be a better choice because they don’t rely on the child remembering to wear a removable appliance.
Benefits of Traditional Braces
Effective for complex cases: Metal brackets and wires can correct severe misalignments and bite issues
Durability: Braces stay on your teeth 24/7, so you don’t have to worry about losing or forgetting them.
Customization & fun: Kids can personalize their braces with colored bands. Customization fosters a sense of ownership and confidence. Kid‑friendly braces come in a variety of colors, patterns and designs, turning treatment into a fun fashion statement
Ceramic options: If your teen wants a less noticeable option, ceramic braces use clear or tooth‑colored brackets
