Don't Hesitate; Houston Braces Are A Great Idea

Approximately 4 million Americans wear some form of dental braces, and 80% of these patients are children. At our Houston and South Houston family dentist offices, we recommend that all of our patients who suffer from a malocclusion–i.e., a bad bite, overbite, underbite, etc–treat it with Houston braces, regardless of if the patient is an adult or a child. In this article, we will explain why braces are such a great investment, what you can expect to pay, and how to manage treatment.

Why Houston Braces Are A Fantastic Idea

Straightening your teeth is not purely cosmetic. Misaligned teeth can lead to multiple issues, including (but not limited to):

• Lisp
• Migraine
• Gingivitis (gum disease)
• Poor digestion
• Tooth decay
• Speech issues

By getting Houston braces, we will relieve these issues for our patients and they will feel healthier and more confident as a result.

How Much Do Houston Braces Cost

When our patients hear dental braces, they automatically associate this with high costs and may refrain from getting dental braces because they may be too expensive for what they need. However, at Centra Dental in Houston and South Houston, our family dentists strive for transparent communication and will educate our patients with guidance and expertise. 

If the cost of Houston braces is causing stress and/or hesitation, then you’ll be glad to know that we offer a variety of different Houston braces with treatments customized to your unique needs for as low as $99/month.

Managing Pain From Houston Braces Treatment

Many patients–adults and children–worry about the pain they may experience over the course of their dental braces treatment, but the truth is that there is only some mild pain and discomfort when you first get your braces fitted. If you wear metal or ceramic dental braces, you will experience some discomfort again when you get your wires tightened every so often, but this discomfort is much more minimal and should only last about a day. With Invisalign, you may feel a slight discomfort every time you get a new set of alignment trays. Here are some of our favorite tips for managing Houston braces pain.
