Itemized quote on day one. We verify orthodontic benefits, layer in CareCredit, and offer 12–18 month interest-free in-house plans.

Your path to a confident smile

Different cases need different paths. We tell you which orthodontic option fits your goals.

Invisalign Comprehensive

Clear aligners for adults with mild-to-moderate alignment, spacing, or crowding. 12–18 months for most cases. See our Invisalign page for cost and timeline detail.

Invisalign Teen

Built for growing teens with permanent dentition. Compliance dots, free replacement aligners, and ongoing growth check-ins.

Traditional Braces

When alignment work is significant, large rotations, dramatic bite changes, or growing teens whose teeth are still erupting, traditional braces still have an edge.

Common questions

Do you offer Invisalign in Stephenville?
Yes. Dr. LaDuque is an Invisalign provider. We use intraoral digital scanning, so no goopy impressions are required. Invisalign treatment for adults averages 12 to 18 months.
What is the difference between Invisalign and traditional braces?
Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners. Traditional braces use brackets and wires. Invisalign is preferred for mild to moderate alignment issues; severe rotations or large bite corrections may still call for fixed braces.
How much does orthodontic treatment cost?
Adult Invisalign in central Texas typically ranges from $4,000 to $7,000 depending on case complexity. Traditional braces for teens range from $3,500 to $6,500. We offer in-house monthly payment plans with no interest for 12 to 18 months.
When should my child see an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic evaluation by age seven. We screen children for bite and crowding issues during routine cleanings and refer for early intervention only when it improves outcomes.
