A Straighter, Healthier Smile Starts Here: Orthodontics in Plainview

A straight smile is a confident smile, but the benefits of orthodontic treatment go far beyond aesthetics. At Meadowbrook Dentistry in Plainview, we provide modern orthodontic solutions designed to create a healthy, functional, and beautiful bite for patients of all ages. Orthodontics is the specialized field of dentistry focused on correcting crooked teeth and misaligned jaws (malocclusion). A properly aligned smile is not only more attractive, but it's also easier to clean, which reduces your risk of cavities and gum disease and can alleviate issues like jaw pain.

Orthodontics for All Ages in the Plainview Community: It's never too early or too late to start the journey to a straighter smile.

For Teens: We offer discreet and effective solutions that fit the lifestyle of today's busy teenagers, helping them achieve a confident smile without the self-consciousness of traditional metal braces.
For Adults: More adults than ever are choosing orthodontics to finally get the smile they've always wanted. We specialize in professional-friendly options that are nearly invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth with minimal disruption to your life.

Our Modern Treatment Options: Our Plainview practice focuses on state-of-the-art orthodontic systems that prioritize your comfort and appearance:

Invisalign® Clear Aligners: The world's leading clear aligner system. These removable, virtually invisible trays are custom-made to gradually shift your teeth into place. They allow you to eat, brush, and floss normally and are the premier choice for discreet treatment.
Clear (Ceramic) Braces: For cases that may benefit from the mechanics of braces, we offer a highly aesthetic alternative. Tooth-colored ceramic brackets blend in with your teeth, providing a much less noticeable appearance than traditional metal.

Your Plainview Orthodontics Questions Answered

Am I or my child a candidate for orthodontics? If you or your child have crowded teeth, gaps, or a misaligned bite (overbite, underbite), you are likely a candidate. The best way to know for sure is to schedule a comprehensive orthodontic consultation at our Plainview office.
What is the difference between Invisalign® and clear braces? Invisalign® uses a series of removable plastic trays to move teeth, while clear braces use fixed, tooth-colored brackets and wires. Invisalign is more discreet and offers greater flexibility, while clear braces are affixed to the teeth and can be highly effective for complex cases. We will help you determine which option is best for your specific needs.
Will the treatment be uncomfortable? It is normal to feel some mild pressure or tenderness for a few days as your teeth begin to move, whether it's after a braces adjustment or when you switch to a new Invisalign® aligner. This is a sign that the treatment is working and is easily managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
How long will orthodontic treatment take? The duration of treatment varies depending on the complexity of the case, but most orthodontic treatments range from 12 to 24 months. We will provide you with a personalized timeline during your consultation.
