It’s the end of May and summer is fast approaching. Now is a great time to head over to Centra Dental before the start of the summer break. For whatever your dental needs, our dental clinic in southwest Houston is here to provide the solutions. One major issue many of our patients need help with the misalignment of their teeth.
Creating straight smiles is a part of dentistry we love. Our orthodontics is one of the best and least expensive in the Greater Houston area. We provide patients - teens and adults - with their choice of metal braces or Invisalign.
WHY SUMMER FOR CHOOSING BRACES
We think any time of the year is a great time for getting braces, but the summer offers some great opportunities, especially for kids and teens.
- THE BREAK: With the summer break, kids and teens will be able to get adjusted to their braces without having to take up their weekends for regular visits. Their free time will keep parents from having to rush around as well, allowing them months to prepare for how to schedule their regular visits to get their kid’s braces adjusted and tightened.
- GETTING USED TO BRACES: Braces, whether metal or Invisalign, takes some getting used to. During the summer months, kids are able to adjust to wearing braces without having to deal with them in overly public places, like the school cafeteria. They can figure out how to keep them clean and what to expect while eating certain things.
- NO SHOCK VALUE: When wearing braces, especially 3M metal braces, there can be a drastic change to your appearance. Taking the summer to “wear them in” can help with getting used to having braces.

Now is a great time to schedule your braces appointment or a braces appointment for your child or teenager. We look forward to getting their smile straight and beautiful.
Centra Dental
At our dental office in southwest Houston, we know all about the need for braces, especially for teens. Having a straight smile is an important element for a kid’s life, and getting them straightened almost unnoticeably is a huge plus. We can do this for your teenager at Centra Dental through Invisalign Teen.
If your middle or high school kid has crooked, misaligned, or gapped teeth, then you should consider bringing them to our dental office. We will create a custom set of plastic tray aligners called Invisalign that will fit their teeth perfectly. These set of braces are not permanent because they have to be changed every so often.
Much like metal braces that have be tightened every few weeks, the Invisalign Teen braces have to be replaced with new ones every few weeks too. This keeps the braces tight on the teeth to force them into the correct position.
WHY TEENS PREFER INVISALIGN
The obvious reason why people, and teens in particular, prefer Invisalign over metal braces is because they aren’t very noticeable. Unlike the 3M metal braces, which are obvious due to the metal tangs and strands, the Invisalign braces clear throughout. These are placed over the teeth like mouthguards.
It isn’t about keeping braces a secret. It’s simply that most patients prefer not to have a major change to their appearance. Invisalign and Invisalign Teen allow this.
These custom-fitted braces are also removable for approximately two hours per day, which can’t be done with metal braces. This allows for thorough brushing and cleaning of teeth. It also allows for patients to eat food without braces.

Do your kids’ teeth need straightening? If so, our southwest Houston dental office offers fantastic orthodontics with metal braces and Invisalign. As well as great orthodontics, our braces are very affordable. Starting at $1,995, our dental office is here to provide our patients with the option of inexpensive orthodontics.
Braces have become very important for so many people and for so many reasons. Braces not only provide kids and adults with straight teeth to build their confidence and self-esteem, but it also greatly impacts their health. Quite often, dental insurance will cover braces if they are necessary for the health of the patient.
But how can braces be an oral health solution? Here’s how:
- COMBAT TOOTH DECAY: Braces, whether our 3M metal braces or clear Invisalign, straighten teeth that are gapped, misaligned or severely crooked (commonly referred to as malocclusion). When these teeth are properly aligned and straight, it eliminates areas where food particles can hide and create plaque build up, which can lead to cavities.
- STRENGTHEN TEETH: When teeth are separated from each other because of how they grow in, they can become weakened because they don’t have the proper support to withstand the constant rigor of everyday oral functions, like chewing food, clenching, and talking. By shifting teeth in line, this establishes a stronger foundation for them, which ensures they last longer and are stronger for everyday use.
- HELP WITH DAILY MAINTENANCE: When teeth are straight, this helps conduct daily oral maintenance, like brushing and flossing. It also ensures patients won’t have as much food particles and plaque to remove because the particles can’t get into the crevices.

Centra Dental
Centra Dental, located in southwest Houston, is known for providing incredibly affordable metal braces. Now our dental clinic offers Invisalign braces. These braces are clear plastic tray aligners that are perfect for straightening teeth without it being completely obvious.
Compared to metal braces, Invisalign are practically unnoticeable. This allows for teeth to become straightened without the visible metal tangs across the teeth. There are numerous benefits to Invisalign in comparison to metal braces.
BENEFITS OF INVISALIGN BRACES
- CLEAR BRACES: Some patients, especially older patients, defer getting braces because they don’t want a massive change to their appearance. These braces can build confidence while straightening teeth.
- COMFORT: Compared to metal braces, the clear plastic tray aligners don’t have to be worn all the time. These braces can actually be removed for up to two and sometimes three hours per day. These few hours allow for oral maintenance and eating.
- REMOVABLE: As mentioned in the previous reason, these braces are removable so you aren’t stuck with them on just in case you need a “breather” from them. This is not recommended to do very often. The braces need to remain on the teeth for at least 21-22 hours per day in order for the teeth to straighten on schedule.
OR YOU CAN CHOOSE METAL BRACES
These Invisalign braces are a little more expensive than the metal braces at Centra Dental. If you or one of your family members are hoping for straight teeth, but at a more affordable price, then our metal braces are perfect. Our 3M metal braces start at $1,995, which is much less than most other Houston dental offices.

March is here, which means spring break is right around the corner! This is the perfect time for kids to come get their braces.
Schools in Texas have spring break either March 10-18 or March 17-25. If you know when your child is getting off for spring break and you know they need braces, then contact our dental office in southwest Houston to schedule an orthodontics appointment.
Spring break provides an entire week that your child doesn’t have to be in school. This makes it much easier to schedule a dental appointment for them, especially an orthodontics appointment. These schedule openings are going fast, however, which means if you plan to bring your child in during their week off, you should do it now.
DOES YOUR CHILD NEED BRACES?
If your child suffers from gapped, misaligned, or severely crooked teeth, then you should consider getting them braces. Our 3M metal braces are some of the most affordable braces in Houston, which makes it easier on families to get braces.
If you have dental insurance, then your benefits could pay for the braces - either in part or in full. This is possible when your child is proven to benefit health-wise from receiving benefits. Patients who suffer from malocclusion - severely crooked teeth - are commonly covered by dental insurance. When teeth are severely crooked, then the patient can suffer from poor oral health because food particles can hide in between and around teeth. When this happens, plaque begins to build up, which can lead to cavities, gum disease, and other health issues.

A SMILE YOU CAN SMILE ABOUT
If your teeth are currently crooked, misaligned, or gapped, and you don’t like how they appear, then you should consider orthodontics. Getting braces will straighten and perfect your teeth so that you can have a beautiful smile.
Our Houston dentists take the time to thoroughly check every patient’s mouth to see how long the braces will take to straighten their teeth and what type of braces would work best. Our orthodontics treatments vary from patient to patient, so receiving a thorough oral checkup is absolutely necessary.
Typically, braces take about 12 to 24 months to complete their treatment. Afterward, a retainer is required to be worn to make certain the teeth do not shift and move back to any original out of line positions.
Throughout the treatment process, patients are required to come return for oral adjustments every few weeks. Our south Houston dentists will inform you of how consistently you will need to return for these adjustment procedures.
A BEAUTIFUL SMILE YOU CAN AFFORD
Affordable braces is typically a term that doesn’t go together, but at Centra Dental, we’ve made it possible. Our dental office also takes most dental insurance plans, which means you won’t have to pay for the complete braces treatment out of pocket. Be certain to use your dental insurance for your braces.
Our dental staff will answer any questions you may have regarding dental insurance and how to utilize it for an orthodontics procedure. Contact our south Houston dental practice today. We look forward to providing you with the smile you’ve always wanted.
