Orthodontics is about more than just a beautiful smile—it’s about achieving a healthy, functional bite that can last a lifetime.

The Importance of Orthodontic Treatment

Orthodontics plays a crucial role in both the appearance and health of your smile. Misaligned teeth are harder to clean, which can lead to plaque buildup, cavities, and gum disease. Misalignment can also place undue stress on your jaw muscles, contributing to headaches, TMJ disorders, and even wear and tear on your teeth. By correcting these alignment issues, orthodontic treatments help prevent future dental complications and support your overall oral health.

Orthodontic treatment is not just for children or teens. More adults are turning to orthodontics to correct long-standing issues or changes that develop with age. With modern solutions like Invisalign, achieving a straight smile is more discreet and convenient than ever before.

Orthodontic Options at Wilhite Plano Dentist

We provide a variety of orthodontic treatments to fit every patient’s needs:

Traditional Metal Braces

Traditional braces have been a trusted solution for correcting misaligned teeth for decades. Metal braces consist of high-quality stainless steel brackets and wires that work together to gradually shift your teeth into the desired position. Today’s braces are smaller, more comfortable, and more efficient than ever, making them a great option for patients who need to address more complex orthodontic issues. For children and teens, colorful bands can add a personalized touch, making braces more fun and less daunting.

Clear Ceramic Braces

For patients seeking a less noticeable option, clear ceramic braces are an excellent alternative. These braces function like traditional metal braces but use clear or tooth-colored brackets, making them much less visible. Clear braces are a popular choice for older teens and adults who want effective treatment without the aesthetic concerns of metal braces.

Invisalign – The Clear Aligners

Invisalign is one of the most advanced orthodontic treatments available today. Using a series of clear, custom-made aligners, Invisalign gently moves your teeth into place without the need for metal brackets or wires. The aligners are virtually invisible and can be removed for eating, drinking, and cleaning, offering convenience and flexibility. Invisalign is ideal for treating mild to moderate alignment issues and is often preferred by adults and teens who want a more discreet option.

Dr. Wilhite is amazing. I have gone to many dentists in my 40 years but none have helped me the way he has. He takes time to do things right and is knowledgeable about things you would think only your medical doctor would know about. If you want a truly healthy mouth, not just clean, Dr. Wilhite is the dentist to go to. I recommend him to everyone I know. Plus, his hygienists and staff are super friendly. I have been coming here for years and won't be changing until he retires!

Dr. Wilhite and his staff are amazing! They have taken care of my teeth (and my husband's) for over 10 years, and we wouldn't go anywhere else. His staff is extremely patient and courteous, and Dr. Wilhite always takes the time to explain both what he is doing and why. When I needed extensive dental work right after the birth of our daughter, Dr. Wilhite and his staff were extremely supportive and attentive throughout the entire process. As they do in all situations, they went the extra mile in that case to make sure that they coordinated with my doctor so that the medications they provided wouldn't cause negative side effects for me or our newborn. Dr. Wilhite and his team made sure I was as comfortable as possible during the entire experience, and I couldn't be more please with the way my smile turned out!

Dr. Wilhite and his wonderful staff have helped me and my family maintain the best possible dental health. For me, I finally decided to wear braces and get my bite corrected and, with a few needed maintenance procedures, can say that my teeth and gums have never been in better shape (at +60 years old, that is a blessing).We always feel like members of a family when we come in. The staff is so personal and welcoming. Good dental health is a journey. Dr. Wilhite and his staff are there for us ever step of the way.
