Orthodontics Q & A

What is orthodontics?

Orthodontics is the art of aligning your teeth so they not only look their best but also function properly. At Smiles of Fort Worth, we believe a confident smile goes hand in hand with clear speech and long-lasting oral health.

Our experienced team helps patients prevent tooth damage and improve appearance by addressing different types of malocclusion (bite and alignment problems). With today’s advanced orthodontic options, we can correct concerns such as:

  • Overbite

  • Open bite

  • Underbite

  • Crossbite

  • Crooked or crowded teeth

  • Gaps between teeth

  • Narrow palate

  • Impacted teeth

Every smile is unique. That’s why your orthodontic plan may include more than one type of treatment. At Smiles of Fort Worth, we use advanced 3D imaging and digital X-rays to carefully evaluate your teeth and jaw, ensuring your treatment is tailored specifically to you.

Smiles of Fort Worth offers a full range of advanced orthodontic solutions for children, teens, and adults. Depending on your needs, our team may recommend one or more of the following treatments:

Braces

Braces are the most common type of orthodontic treatment. Using metal brackets and wires, braces apply gentle pressure to gradually shift your teeth into proper alignment, creating a healthier, more attractive smile.

Clear Aligners

Clear aligners are a modern, discreet alternative to braces. Custom-made to fit your teeth, aligners are transparent and removable, making them a convenient option for both adults and teens. Over time, a series of aligners guide your teeth into their ideal position.

Palatal Expanders

For younger patients, a palatal expander can help widen the upper jaw before the bones fully develop. This treatment creates the space needed for proper alignment and reduces the risk of crowding.

Orthognathic Surgery

In more severe cases of jaw misalignment, our team may recommend orthognathic (jaw) surgery. This procedure, combined with orthodontics, helps correct functional issues and improve facial balance.

At Smiles of Fort Worth, we’re committed to creating customized orthodontic plans that combine the latest technology with compassionate care—helping you and your family achieve healthy, confident smiles.

At Smiles of Fort Worth, we know that every smile is unique. That’s why planning orthodontic treatment is a careful and personalized process. Our team works closely with you to design a treatment plan tailored to the type and severity of your malocclusion.

We begin by reviewing your (or your child’s) medical and dental history. From there, we use advanced imaging technology—such as digital X-rays and 3D scans—to get a precise look at your teeth and jaw.

These detailed images allow us to:

  • Predict how your teeth will move during treatment

  • Identify potential challenges, such as impacted teeth

  • Show you a preview of what your smile could look like once treatment is complete

Our goal is to give you a clear path toward a healthy, confident smile.
