Orthodontic treatments at our Port Arthur office

We build every plan around a healthy bite and a smile you’ll love. Port Arthur families have access to our full range of care:

  • Early treatment (Phase I). A first screening by age 7 helps us spot and guide growth issues early, often with simple monitoring until the right time.
  • Braces. Comfortable, efficient metal and clear self-ligating braces for kids, teens, and adults.
  • Clear aligners. Invisalign, Smilers, and in-house aligners that are nearly invisible and removable.
  • Carriere Motion System. A comfortable early appliance that can shorten overall treatment time.
  • Retainers. Essix and fixed retainers to protect your results for the long run.

We use CBCT digital scanning, intraoral scanners, and 3D printing so your care is precise and your visits are comfortable.

Very friendly team. Went in for my daughter’s consult for her braces and they were very thorough, explaining everything in detail. My daughter loves the point system they have for taking good care of your braces. We highly recommend them.
