So grateful to have found this place! Im 30 years old and finally have a smile I’m proud of. I had a very significant gap in between my bottom 2 teeth but now it’s gone! Growing up I was very embarrassed of it. A few surgeries later plus an orthodontia plan here and I now have a perfect smile.

Frequently Asked Questions

Choosing an orthodontist is an important decision, and it’s natural to have questions before starting treatment. Below are answers to some of the most common questions patients and families ask when visiting Greater Houston Orthodontics.

How do I get started with orthodontic treatment if I live in West University Place?

Your first step is a complimentary consultation at our Bellaire Boulevard office, where we’ll examine your smile, discuss your options, and walk you through cost and financing with no obligation to begin treatment.

Most patients visit the office every 6 to 8 weeks for adjustments or progress checks. These visits help ensure your treatment is progressing as planned.

Yes. Straight teeth are easier to clean and maintain, which can reduce the risk of cavities, gum disease, and uneven wear on your teeth. Proper bite alignment can also improve chewing and overall dental function.

Many dental insurance plans include orthodontic benefits that may help cover part of the treatment cost. Our team will review your insurance coverage and help you understand your benefits.

Both options are effective. Traditional braces are excellent for correcting more complex orthodontic issues, while Invisalign clear aligners are a discreet and comfortable alternative for many patients. During your consultation, our orthodontists will recommend the best option for your specific smile.
