Many options are available today to minimize the appearance of braces. Today’s braces are smaller and sleeker, and some are next-to-invisible.

Dr. Malik can advise you about options that will fit your particular needs.

These options allow you to have flexibility, comfort, and discretion during your treatment.

You can do almost anything during orthodontic treatment – sing, play a musical instrument, dine out, kiss, and even have your picture taken. New techniques and materials have made wearing braces more comfortable and convenient than ever.

Some adjustments may be necessary. But, if you or your teen are like the vast majority of patients at Amaya Orthodontics, you’ll adjust quickly.

If you or your family plays contact sports around Sugar Land, it’s crucial to use an orthodontic mouthguard to protect their braces and their teeth from injury. If you wear clear aligners, you can take your aligner trays out before practice or a game, and put them back in afterward.

Traditional metal braces might temporarily affect the way your teen plays some instruments. In most cases, patients are quickly able to adjust and get back to performing at their best.

Clear aligners provide an excellent alternative treatment for musicians because they can simply remove their aligner trays before playing.

Orthodontists like Dr. Mohni Malik are dental specialists who diagnose, prevent and treat dental and facial irregularities.

Dr. Malik received an additional three full years of specialized education beyond dental school to learn the proper way to align and straighten teeth.

Only those with this formal education may call themselves “orthodontists,” and only orthodontists may be members of the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO).

You’ll feel at ease allowing our skilled orthodontic experts to carefully oversee your treatment every step of the way.

We’ll take X-rays of your teeth and work hand-in-hand with your dentist around Sugar Land to know the intricacies of your smile and ensure that you receive the best possible result in your treatment.

This will give you the promise of a much better smile in the end.

This question doesn’t have a concrete answer, unfortunately. Every case is different at Amaya Orthodontics, but the average length of the active stage of orthodontic treatment is anywhere from 6-36 months.

After this phase of treatment is complete, your teen will need to wear a retainer for as long as Dr. Malik feels necessary based on their individual case.

Though treatment times can vary, we work as a team with our patients to create a smile that will last a lifetime.
