Austin Orthodontics Helps Kids Head Back to School

Some kids are excited about going back to school to see their friends and teachers, while others aren’t ready to give up their summer freedom. Then there are those who feel unprepared because they aren’t able to afford school supplies.

At Austin Orthodontics, we never want a child to feel ashamed because of their smile or their lack of school supplies, which is why we participate every year in Backpack Attack. This program, organized by Leander ISD, provides new backpacks and school supplies to LISD students. Our team helps to assemble almost 2000 well-equipped backpacks that are handed out every year.

Why Austin Orthodontics Is the Best Orthodontist for You

There can be a lot of claims that a certain orthodontist is the best of the best, but what backs up those claims? You see, to be among the best in the industry, it takes dedication, skill and the absolute willingness to provide patients with superior treatment plans and top-of-the-line products. There’s no cutting corners when you’re the best solution in orthodontics. When it comes to choosing an orthodontist to help correct the issues with your teeth, don’t you want the best? Here’s why Austin Orthodontics is the best orthodontist for you.

A Step Above the Competition

Choosing an orthodontist can be a daunting task if only because there are so many to choose from. Find an orthodontist who focuses on you. At Austin Orthodontics, our mission is to provide top-level care and help our patients achieve the best smiles possible. Our team offers a state-of-the-art experience in a warm inviting, stress-free environment, so our patients can focus on one thing—their treatment.

Not only is our team among the best in the industry, they help patients get the most out of their treatment, providing them with the necessary guidance and tools for maximum success. Through specialized treatment plans, our staff provides custom solutions for each individual patient, going the extra mile to ensure treatment is comfortable and the absolute best it can be.

Superior Treatment Plans

Our professionals treat a variety of orthodontic issues and address problems with bites, crowding, spacing, alignment and more. We offer custom-designed plans, utilizing numerous products, including:

  • Invisalign clear aligners
  • Self-ligating braces
  • Ceramic braces
  • WildSmiles

Our practice also offers OrthoPulse, which aids in reducing the treatment time for patients with braces or clear aligners. Utilizing low level light therapy, the bone around the roots of the teeth is stimulated, facilitating tooth movement.

Next Level Expertise

Unlike many orthodontic practices, our team has extensive experience with jaw issues, such as TMJ. This oftentimes debilitating condition can cause extreme discomfort and pain, making everyday tasks, like eating and talking, uncomfortable. Our digital radiology and imaging software is used to help achieve lasting results, helping patients suffering from these issues to live a life free from pain.

Our team also specializes in surgical orthodontics to help correct issues, such as jaw bone abnormalities and malocclusions. This complex area of treatment helps to properly align the jaw and allow for proper growth.

Choosing Austin Orthodontics

When you choose our team, you not only get the very best treatment available, you get to work with the brightest minds in the industry. We’re focused on you and your success, and we ensure your treatment plan is tailored to you and only you. When you’re searching for the right orthodontist for you, choose wisely.
