Our Orthodontic Solutions

Traditional Dental Braces

Dental braces are still one of the best and most proven ways to fix crooked teeth, close gaps, and correct bite problems. Modern braces are designed to be smaller, more streamlined, and more comfortable than in the past.

Here’s what you can expect with traditional braces at Rio Dental & Orthodontics:

  • Durable, metal brackets and wires adjusted over time to shift teeth
  • Customizable elastic bands (with fun colors for kids and discreet options for adults)
  • Regular progress appointments every 6-10 weeks

While some mild soreness is normal after adjustments, patients quickly adapt, and the results are well worth it. Dental braces continue to be a trusted choice for both children and adults seeking lasting improvement.

Invisalign® Clear Aligners

If you prefer a more discreet approach to teeth straightening, Invisalign could be the ideal solution. Invisalign uses a set of clear, custom-made aligners instead of brackets and wires to gently move your teeth into position.

Benefits of Invisalign:

  • Clear and nearly invisible
  • Removable for eating, drinking, and brushing
  • Smooth, comfortable plastic with no metal parts
  • Fewer food restrictions compared to braces

Our team will work with you to determine if Invisalign is the right orthodontic treatment for your smile goals.

Orthodontics for All Ages

Orthodontic treatment isn’t just for kids and teens—many of our patients are adults who want to improve their smile and dental health later in life. We tailor each treatment plan to meet the unique needs of every patient, regardless of age.

Frequently Asked Questions About Orthodontic Care

What’s the Best Age to Start Orthodontic Treatment?

The American Association of Orthodontists suggests getting a first checkup by age 7, but orthodontic treatment can start at any age. You can straighten healthy teeth well into adulthood.

Can Adults Get Orthodontic Treatment?

Absolutely! Adults now make up a large portion of orthodontic patients. Whether you are in your 30s, 50s, or beyond, orthodontic treatments like Invisalign and dental braces can improve both your smile and oral health.

Are There Special Considerations for Adult Orthodontics?

Adults may experience slower tooth movement because their bones have stopped growing, and they might face additional challenges like mild gum disease or bone loss. Our experienced orthodontic team understands these concerns and personalizes treatment to achieve excellent results.

How Long Does Orthodontic Treatment Take?

Treatment times vary but typically last between 6 and 30 months, depending on the complexity of the case. After the active treatment phase, a retainer helps maintain your new smile.

How Often Will I Need Appointments?

Patients usually visit the orthodontist every 6 to 10 weeks for progress checks and adjustments.

How Much Does Orthodontic Treatment Cost?

Costs vary based on the type of treatment and case complexity. At Rio Dental & Orthodontics, we offer flexible payment options to make orthodontic care affordable for every family.

You can play a part in preparing your child for his or her first visit to our office. Informing your child of the visit as an exciting experience for both of you can ease any hesitations. As a parent try to act relaxed, since your child may sense any anxiety on your part.

Explain to your child that the doctor will “count, brush, and maybe take pictures of their teeth”. We also ask that you assume the role of a silent observer. Cooperation and trust must be established directly between the doctor, staff, and your child and not through you. Your child may become confused if receiving instructions from multiple sources.

We recommend bringing your baby in for their first dental appointment by their first birthday, or within 6 months of their first tooth appearing (whichever comes first). During this appointment, we will examine your baby’s mouth to track their dental development and discuss age-appropriate dental care.

It’s easy to make appointments to visit our office online or over the phone. Rio Dental sees patients both for checkups and dental emergencies. Using our online scheduler, you can select the location and time slot that works best for you for either type of appointment. If you have any questions regarding our practice, or simply prefer to make your appointment with a live member of staff, please don’t hesitate to call!

Rio Dental Group accepts most PPO insurances. We recommend that new patients and returning patients with new insurance policies reach out to us before their appointment to confirm coverage. Our Fort Worth location also sees patients who are covered by Medicaid and CHIP programs.

We don’t like surprises, either! Our staff is prepared to discuss the cost of dental services before you undergo treatment so that you know what to expect in terms of fees. The cost of your services will be due at the end of your appointment. Our office accepts payment by cash, credit card, or check.

Rio Dental Group allows patients to pay with their CareCredit card. CareCredit is a healthcare credit card designed to cover out-of-pocket costs at over 225,000 providers nationwide. After leaving the office, card holders will be able to make convenient monthly payments towards their balance. To learn more, visit the CareCredit website.
