Orthodontic Services in Alice
We provide comprehensive orthodontics for kids, teens, and adults, all under one roof. Every treatment plan is customized, and same‑day braces starts or clear aligner scans are available for qualified candidates. Explore your options and choose the path that fits your goals and lifestyle.
Braces
Damon™ self‑ligating braces use low‑friction mechanics that support efficient tooth movement and quicker treatment time. You can choose metal or clear brackets based on your preference. If you’re ready to begin at your first appointment, we even do same-day starts!
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners straighten teeth with a series of removable trays and no brackets or wires. Our Digital iTero® scans help create a precise, comfortable fit and no messy impressions. We primarily use 3M™ Clarity™ Aligners and also offer limited Invisalign® cases. Our doctors will help determine which option is right for you.
Early Orthodontics for Kids
An early evaluation around age seven helps us guide jaw growth, create space for incoming teeth, and reduce future treatment complexity. If no treatment is needed yet for your child, we’ll monitor growth and advise you at the right time to begin treatment if necessary.
Retainers
Retainers keep your new smile in place. We provide guidance on wear schedules and care, and offer options like clear Essix or Vivera retainers based on your needs.
Why Families Choose Vela Orthodontics in Alice
Your time matters. Our schedule is built to keep visits on time with minimal waiting, and many patients can begin treatment the same day as their consultation. Expect digital scans instead of goopy impressions, clear communication at every step, and flexible financing through partners like OrthoFi and CareCredit.
As a locally owned, husband‑and‑wife practice, we value relationships as much as results.
