Orthodontics for Kids, Teens & Adults in Austin, TX

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an initial evaluation by age seven. At this age, Dr. Adam Haber can identify bite problems, crowding, or jaw growth issues while your child still has a mix of baby and permanent teeth.

Early evaluation doesn't always mean immediate treatment. Often, we monitor development and intervene at the optimal time. Catching issues early can sometimes prevent more extensive treatment later and may reduce overall treatment time.

Metal Braces — The most common and effective option for children and teens. Today's metal braces are smaller, more comfortable, and more efficient than ever. Kids love choosing colored bands to personalize their look.

Ceramic Braces — Tooth-colored brackets that blend with your natural teeth for a more discreet appearance. Popular with teens and adults who want effective treatment with less visibility.

Invisalign Clear Aligners — Custom-made, removable aligners that straighten teeth without brackets or wires. Ideal for teens and adults who want flexibility and a nearly invisible treatment option. Invisalign in Austin is one of our most requested services.

Invisalign uses a series of custom-designed clear aligners to gradually shift your teeth into proper alignment. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks before moving to the next set in the series.

Benefits include removability for eating and brushing, comfortable smooth plastic instead of brackets, and a virtually invisible appearance. Dr. Haber monitors your progress with regular check-ins and adjusts the treatment plan as needed to ensure optimal results.

Treatment duration varies based on the complexity of your case, but most orthodontic treatments take 12 to 24 months. Simple cases may resolve in as few as 6 months, while more complex situations could take up to 30 months.

Dr. Haber provides a detailed treatment timeline during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect. One of the biggest advantages of choosing Petite Dental & Orthodontics is that we coordinate orthodontic care with pediatric dental care under one roof — fewer offices, fewer appointments, better outcomes.
