It’s our goal to accommodate our patients’ preferences, while providing the most efficient types of braces at our Alamo Ranch, San Antonio orthodontist office!
When you visit us for your complimentary (free) consultation, Dr. Senties will help you determine which treatment option will work best for your lifestyle, your condition and your treatment goals.
It’s not just about ‘straightening teeth’. It’s about optimizing not only your smile aesthetic, but your jaw function and quality of life too!
Looking for a discreet form of traditional braces?
Clear braces use durable ceramic brackets that blend in with the natural color of your teeth. They’re specially designed for comfort and durability with small, rounded brackets.
Prefer a more traditional look? Metal braces are still in style.
Made of high-grade, stainless steel material, metal braces use brackets, wires and colored rubber bands that you can customize at each visit.
We believe everyone should have access to premium, affordable orthodontic treatment! On your first visit, we’ll create a custom financing plan that suits your budget.
We’re proud to accept most insurances and will file your claims for you, to help you receive the maximum benefit from your plan. Insurance can cover 50% of your braces cost or clear aligner cost!
There isn’t one type of braces that is best for everyone. When I evaluate your smile, I consider your bite, the position of your teeth, your treatment goals, lifestyle, and how much customization your case requires. I’ll explain the options that are appropriate for you—including metal braces, clear ceramic braces, or customized LightForce braces—and help you choose an approach that fits both your orthodontic needs and your preferences.
You absolutely have a say in your treatment, but I’ll first make sure the option you prefer is appropriate for your smile. During your consultation, I’ll explain which treatments can effectively address your orthodontic concerns and discuss the advantages of each. My job is to give you the information you need to make a confident decision while making sure we’re choosing an approach that supports a healthy, functional result.
Treatment time depends more on your orthodontic needs and how your teeth respond than the type of braces you choose. My goal is always to create an efficient treatment plan while moving your teeth safely and predictably.
If having a discreet treatment is important to you, you may have several options. Clear ceramic braces use brackets designed to blend with your natural tooth color, while LightForce braces use customized clear brackets and digital treatment planning. Clear aligners are another option for appropriate candidates. I’ll help you compare these choices and determine which discreet treatment can meet your orthodontic needs.
Even mild-looking crowding or crooked teeth can sometimes be associated with bite or alignment concerns that aren’t obvious when you look in the mirror. I don’t recommend orthodontic treatment based on appearance alone. I’ll evaluate how your teeth fit together, how your jaws function, and whether your teeth are positioned in a healthy and stable way. If treatment would benefit you, I’ll explain why; if you don’t need it, I’ll tell you that too.
We’re here to answer your questions, and we want you to know your options! Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at any time.
Dr. Senties and our experienced team are here to help guide you throughout your treatment process, from your first visit to your last visit.
