Adult Orthodontics

Absolutely not. There is no age limit for a smile transformation. As long as your teeth, gums, and supporting bone structure are healthy, you can successfully undergo treatment. In fact, about one in four orthodontic patients today is an adult. Whether you are in your 20s, 50s, or beyond, our individualized care is designed to safely and precisely shift your teeth at any stage of life.

Not at all. We understand that our adult patients have fast-paced careers and active social lives in Houston. That is why we specialize in nearly invisible treatments like Invisalign and our proprietary GusAligners. These clear aligner systems fit seamlessly over your teeth, allowing you to speak confidently in meetings, give presentations, and attend network events without anyone even noticing you are straightening your smile.

While every smile is a unique architectural project, most adult treatments last between 12 and 24 months. If you only require minor cosmetic adjustments to your front teeth, your timeline could be even shorter. Dr. Gustavo Salas utilizes avant-garde technology and digital mapping to plan out the most direct, efficient path for your teeth to move, giving you high-caliber, accelerated results without wasting your time.

We value your time and prioritize efficiency. Thanks to modern digital workflows, you won’t need to be in our chair every few weeks. For aligner patients, we utilize the advantages of telemedicine, allowing us to monitor your progress remotely through virtual check-ins. When you do need to visit our Houston office, appointments are fast and precisely scheduled so you can get right back to your day.

The cost depends entirely on the complexity of your alignment and whether you choose clear aligners or specialized braces. We view your smile as a lifetime investment, which is why we make it an accessible investment for every household. Many corporate dental insurance plans include an adult orthodontic benefit that can significantly lower your out-of-pocket costs. We also offer flexible, interest-free monthly payment plans to fit comfortably into your personal budget.
