Family Orthodontist Straightening Teeth With Braces
Jones Family Dental offers traditional braces in Houston, TX, for patients of every age who want a straighter, healthier smile. As experienced orthodontic providers, we evaluate each patient individually and design a treatment plan that addresses crowding, gaps, bite issues, and overall alignment. Whether you are bringing in your child for a first orthodontic evaluation or exploring braces for yourself as an adult, our Houston dental team makes the process simple and affordable.
Traditional Braces Built for Lasting Results
Our practice currently focuses on traditional metal braces, a proven and reliable option for correcting a wide range of orthodontic concerns. Traditional braces use brackets and wires to gradually shift teeth into proper alignment, and they remain one of the most effective treatments available for complex bite corrections. We monitor your progress closely throughout treatment and adjust your braces at each visit to keep your smile moving in the right direction.
Who Can Benefit From Braces?
Children and teens with developing bite or spacing issues
Adults who never had orthodontic treatment growing up
Patients with crowded, gapped, or overlapping teeth
Anyone dealing with an overbite, underbite, or crossbite
Patients preparing for restorative work like crowns or implants
What to Expect During Your Braces Journey
Your braces journey begins with a thorough consultation, including a review of your bite, x-rays, and a conversation about your goals. From there, our team places your braces in a single comfortable visit and schedules periodic adjustment appointments. Most patients require regular check-ins every several weeks so we can tighten wires and track movement. Throughout treatment, our Houston orthodontic team is available to answer questions and address any discomfort quickly.

A Comfortable Office for Nervous Patients
We understand that orthodontic treatment can feel intimidating, especially for younger patients or first-time adult patients. Our team takes time to explain every step before it happens, answers questions patiently, and creates a relaxed environment so you feel confident throughout treatment. Many of our braces patients arrive nervous and leave looking forward to their next adjustment appointment.
If you are ready to invest in a straighter smile, Jones Family Dental is here to guide you through every stage of orthodontic treatment with honesty and care. Our Houston, TX office combines experienced clinical judgment with a genuinely supportive patient experience, so you always know what to expect and why.
Pediatric Orthodontist Guidance for Young Smiles
Parents often wonder when to bring their child in for a pediatric orthodontist evaluation, and the answer is usually earlier than expected. We recommend an initial orthodontic check by around age seven, while the jaw is still developing and growing. Early evaluation allows us to spot crowding, spacing issues, or bite problems before they become more complex, giving your child the best chance at a smoother, shorter treatment process once they are ready for braces. Our team takes a gentle, encouraging approach with younger patients, explaining each step in simple terms so children feel comfortable rather than anxious about orthodontic care.
Frequently Asked Questions About Ortho
How long does braces treatment usually take?
Treatment time varies by case, but most patients wear traditional braces for twelve to twenty-four months. Your dentist will give you a personalized estimate during your consultation based on your bite and alignment goals.
Are braces painful?
Braces typically cause mild soreness for a few days after placement and after adjustment visits. Most patients manage this discomfort easily with over-the-counter pain relief, and the soreness fades quickly as you adjust.
Can adults get braces, or are they just for kids and teens?
Adults can absolutely benefit from traditional braces. Many adults choose braces to correct issues they never addressed growing up, and treatment works the same way regardless of age.
Does insurance cover braces?
Many PPO insurance plans include partial orthodontic coverage, and we also accept financing through CareCredit, Cherry, Alphaeon, and Sunbit. Our team will review your specific plan and explain your options before treatment begins.
