Kids’ Orthodontics
Kids’ Orthodontists in Houston & Bellaire
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends kids’ have their first orthodontic evaluation at age seven.
Just because a child still has baby teeth doesn’t mean they’re too young to see an orthodontist. Houston Orthodontic Specialists offers free early evaluations and complimentary growth and development visits, where our pediatric orthodontists examine and monitor your child’s teeth and jaws until they’re ready to begin treatment. If we spot emerging issues, we can correct them with early treatment before they become more serious, potentially avoiding surgery or extractions later in life.

Metal Braces
Kid’s braces are smaller and more comfortable than ever before. Our young patients love picking out colorful elastics for their braces to show off their personalities.
-
Clear Braces
Clear braces for kids work the same as metal braces, but since the brackets are ceramic and clear, they blend in with your child’s smile and are much less noticeable.
-
Self-Ligating Braces
Self-ligating braces straighten teeth with metal or clear brackets but don’t use elastics or metal ties. They use a slide mechanism that holds the wire in place, increasing comfort with less friction and pressure.

Invisalign® Clear Aligners
We offer Invisalign® First for kids and Invisalign® Teen in Houston and Bellaire. These clear aligners can help discreetly straighten your child’s smile with less interruption to their lifestyle.
