Treatment Options

An orthodontist is a dental specialist who completes several additional years of advanced training beyond dental school to diagnose, prevent, and treat problems with the alignment of the teeth and jaws.

Dr. Bryan Hsu specializes in creating healthy, functional bites using braces, Invisalign, and other advanced orthodontic treatments. Choosing an orthodontic specialist means you're receiving expert care designed to deliver beautiful, lasting results that support your oral health for years to come.

A confident smile is one of the biggest benefits of orthodontic treatment, but it's only part of the picture. Straightening your teeth can also improve your overall oral health and quality of life by:

• Making brushing and flossing easier
• Reducing uneven wear on your teeth
• Improving your bite for more comfortable chewing and speaking
• Helping minimize teeth grinding and jaw strain
• Supporting healthier jaw joints and reducing TMJ discomfort
• Improving facial balance and symmetry
• Creating space for future restorative treatments, such as dental implants when needed
• Supporting better airway function in certain cases when combined with surgical treatment

At Smile Makers Orthodontics, Dr. Bryan Hsu creates personalized treatment plans that focus on both the appearance and long-term health of your smile.

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age seven. At this stage, Dr. Bryan Hsu can monitor how your child's teeth and jaws are developing and determine whether early treatment may be beneficial.

Early evaluations don't always lead to treatment right away, but they allow us to identify potential concerns before they become more complicated.

No referral is necessary. While we appreciate referrals from family dentists and other healthcare providers, you can schedule a consultation with Smile Makers Orthodontics anytime. Simply call our office or request an appointment online.

Dr. Bryan Hsu is a board-certified orthodontist who has completed extensive education and specialty training in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics. His advanced training allows him to diagnose and treat everything from simple alignment concerns to complex bite and jaw issues using the latest orthodontic technology and techniques.

Orthodontic treatment can be successful at almost any age, but delaying care may allow bite problems to worsen over time. In some cases, untreated orthodontic issues can contribute to excessive tooth wear, gum problems, jaw discomfort, or the need for more complex treatment later.

An early evaluation with Dr. Hsu helps determine the ideal time to begin treatment and may reduce the need for more extensive procedures in the future.

Your first visit is all about getting to know you and your smile. Dr. Hsu will perform a thorough orthodontic evaluation, examining your teeth, bite, and jaw alignment. We'll also take digital photographs and any necessary X-rays to better understand your orthodontic needs.

After your evaluation, we'll review your treatment options, discuss costs and financing, answer your questions, and build a personalized treatment plan that's right for you. If you're ready to get started, give us a call at 972-722-2943 or schedule your consultation online today.
