Orthodontics in Arlington, TX

What is Orthodontic Treatment?

Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on the correction of tooth misalignment and biting relationships (occlusion), ultimately creating a functional and properly aligned smile. The field of orthodontics goes beyond cosmetic improvements, as it also affects oral health conditions like TMJ disorder, periodontal disease, enamel wear, and cavity risk. Dr. Lim uses 3D CBCT imaging to carefully navigate the position of your tooth alignment journey for gentle yet effective results.

What to Expect at Your Orthodontic Appointment

Your journey to a straighter smile begins with an initial orthodontic consultation at our Arlington dental clinic. Dr. Daniel Lim will carefully assess your bite alignment and oral anatomy, then take special scans or impressions of your teeth. These diagnostic tools help us understand the current state of your oral anatomy and identify any underlying issues that may require attention (such as impacted teeth, atypical bone structure, or existing periodontal disease.)


From there, Dr. Lim will discuss the best treatment options for you and create a personalized orthodontic plan tailored to your needs and preferences. We understand that every patient is different, and we strive to provide individualized care that aligns with your lifestyle and goals. Our clear aligner options can easily fit into your monthly budget thanks to our affordable financing plans and membership program.

Orthodontic Treatment FAQs

  • At what age should I consider orthodontic treatment?

    Orthodontic treatment can be beneficial for patients of all ages. Children should have their first orthodontic evaluation by the age of 7, as some issues are best addressed early on. However, it's never too late to achieve a straighter smile, and adults can also benefit from orthodontic treatment.

  • Will the orthodontic treatment be painful?

    It’s normal to feel a little soreness or discomfort when you get braces for the first time or change your aligners out with the next pair in the series. Thankfully, soreness is temporary and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.

  • How long will my treatment take?

    The length of Invisalign treatment varies from one person to the next, depending on their occlusion (bite and tooth positioning.) On average, most treatments last between 12 to 24 months. Dr. Lim can give you an estimated timeframe during your orthodontic consultation.

  • How do I care for my clear aligners?

    Remove your aligners during meals or when drinking anything (other than water.) Always clean your teeth before you put your aligners back on. Be sure to brush and floss twice a day. Keep your aligners away from hot temperatures and out of the reach of small children and pets.
