Orthodontist in Austin
Specialized Smile Care from ATX Braces
Looking for an orthodontist Austin families trust? You've come to the right place. An orthodontist is a dental specialist who completes two to three years of advanced training beyond dental school, focused only on straightening teeth and correcting bite problems. Unlike general dentists who handle cleanings and fillings, orthodontists dedicate their practice to aligning teeth, jaws, and facial structures for lasting results.
At ATX Braces, board-certified orthodontists Dr. Brenner and Dr. Konstantoni bring this specialized expertise to families throughout Austin, Round Rock, Pflugerville, and Cedar Park. If you're dealing with crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, or jaw concerns, our team creates a personalized treatment plan that fits your needs and goals.
We offer clear aligners, metal braces, and clear braces all under one roof. That means you get options. Your treatment matches your lifestyle, not the other way around.
Benefits of Choosing an Austin Orthodontic Specialist
Straight teeth do more than look great. They're easier to brush and floss, which means fewer cavities and healthier gums over time. When your teeth fit together properly, you reduce wear patterns that can lead to chips and cracks down the road.
Confidence that shows
Your smile is your best accessory, and when you love it, it shows! Austin patients tell us they smile more freely in photos, feel more comfortable in job interviews, and carry themselves differently after treatment.
Relief from jaw discomfort
A well-aligned bite means your upper and lower teeth meet evenly across the chewing surfaces, with no single tooth taking more pressure than the rest. That balanced contact takes strain off your jaw joints and can reduce headaches, clicking, and TMJ-related symptoms.
Convenience matters
With locations in Pflugerville and Cedar Park serving greater Austin, you won't spend hours in traffic getting to appointments. We offer flexible scheduling, including times that work around school and work.
| Benefit | How It Helps You |
|---|---|
| Easier cleaning | Straight teeth have fewer hiding spots for plaque |
| Better bite | Reduces jaw strain and uneven tooth wear |
| A smile you'll show off | Speak, laugh, and meet new people without holding back |
| Local care | Austin-area offices mean shorter commutes |
| Lifetime support | Our Lifetime Retainer Club keeps your smile straight for good |
Treatment works for every age. Kids as young as seven benefit from early evaluation. Teens often see the fastest results. Adults of any age can achieve the smile they've always wanted.
Austin Orthodontist Treatment Process: What to Expect
Your treatment at ATX Braces follows five clear steps: a free consult, digital imaging with a custom plan, the start of active treatment using your chosen appliance, regular short check-ins to track progress, and a retention phase backed by our Lifetime Retainer Club. From start to finish, you and your family stay informed every step of the way.
Your treatment starts with a free consult at our Pflugerville or Cedar Park office. During this visit, Dr. Brenner or Dr. Konstantoni examines your teeth and discusses what you'd like to achieve. You'll get straight answers about your options without any sales pitch.
Step 1: Free Consult
Book an in-person or virtual visit. We'll talk through your concerns and take a look at your smile.
Step 2: Digital Imaging and Custom Plan
Using advanced digital scanning (no goopy impressions), we create detailed 3D images of your teeth. Dr. Brenner and Dr. Konstantoni use these to design your personalized treatment plan.
Step 3: Begin Treatment
Choose from clear aligners, clear braces, or metal braces. Some patients benefit from our hybrid treatment approach that combines the strengths of both.
Step 4: Regular Check-Ins
You'll visit us periodically so we can track your progress and make adjustments. These appointments are quick, so you'll spend less time in our office and more time on the things you actually want to be doing.
Step 5: Retention Phase
Once your teeth are aligned, you'll join our Lifetime Retainer Club. This program guarantees easy retainer replacements so your results last.
Most treatment takes between 12 and 24 months, though some cases finish faster. Your timeline depends on your specific needs, and we'll give you a clear estimate during your consult.
Who Is a Candidate for Orthodontic Treatment?
Most people who want straighter teeth or a healthier bite are good candidates. Children ages 7 and up should get an evaluation, teens are prime candidates while their jaws are still developing, and adults of any age can be treated successfully. Signs you may need care include crowding, gaps, overbite, underbite, crossbite, or jaw discomfort.
Children ages 7 and up should have their first orthodontic evaluation. Dr. Brenner and Dr. Konstantoni follow the American Association of Orthodontists guideline, which has recommended a check by age seven since 1996. At age seven, enough permanent teeth have come in to spot developing concerns like crossbites, crowding, or jaw growth issues. Early evaluation doesn't always mean early treatment. Sometimes we simply monitor growth and step in at the right time through our 7&up kids club.
Teens are ideal candidates because their jaws and teeth are still developing. That makes teeth move efficiently. We offer options like our ATX Smile Aligners designed specifically for teen lifestyles in Austin.
For adults, treatment has never been more popular. You're never too old for a straighter smile, and many adults tell us they finally decided to fix something that's bothered them for years.
Common issues we treat include:
- Crowded or overlapping teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Overbite, underbite, or crossbite
- Teeth that don't meet properly when you close your mouth
- Jaw discomfort or TMJ symptoms
Not sure if you qualify? A free consult with our team gives you clear answers. We'll tell you exactly what we see and recommend the best path forward.

Frequently Asked Questions About Austin Orthodontics
How much does an orthodontist cost in Austin?
Treatment costs vary based on the type of braces or aligners you choose and the complexity of your case. Most orthodontic cases nationally fall between $3,000-$8,000 depending on the appliance and length of care. During your free consult, we provide a detailed cost breakdown with no surprises. We offer flexible financing and work with most insurance plans to make treatment fit your budget.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
Most patients complete treatment in 12 to 24 months. Simpler cases may finish in as few as six months, while more complex situations take longer. Dr. Brenner and Dr. Konstantoni give you a realistic timeline during your consult based on your specific needs.
What's the difference between clear aligners and braces?
The main difference is that clear aligners are removable while braces are fixed to your teeth. Clear aligners are nearly invisible trays you switch out every few weeks. Metal braces use brackets and wires that stay on your teeth throughout treatment. Both work well. The best choice depends on your lifestyle and what your teeth need. We'll help you decide.
At what age should my child see an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an evaluation by age seven. That lets us catch developing concerns early. Many kids don't need treatment right away, but early monitoring helps us time treatment well.
Does insurance cover orthodontic treatment?
Many dental insurance plans include orthodontic benefits. We verify your coverage before treatment begins and help you understand exactly what your plan covers. Our team handles the paperwork so you don't have to.
