Braces & Orthodontics

Straighten Your Teeth and Improve Bite Alignment

Crooked or misaligned teeth can impact both the appearance of your smile and how your teeth function. Orthodontic treatment is designed to correct alignment issues and improve the way your upper and lower teeth fit together.

Braces and other orthodontic solutions gradually shift teeth into proper alignment, creating a more balanced bite and making daily cleaning easier. At Element Dental & Orthodontics Humble, we offer orthodontic treatments to help patients achieve straighter smiles and support long-term oral health.

Conditions That Benefit from Orthodontic Treatment

Braces are orthodontic appliances designed to correct misaligned teeth and bite issues. By applying gentle, consistent pressure over time, they gradually guide teeth into proper alignment.
Orthodontic treatment may be recommended to address:
  • Crooked or crowded teeth
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Overbites and underbites
  • Crossbites and open bites
  • Jaw alignment concerns
These treatments help improve both the function and appearance of your smile while supporting long-term oral health.

Patients who may benefit include:
  • Children and teens with developing teeth and bite alignment issues
  • Adults who want to improve the alignment of their smile
