At Lovely Smiles Orthodontics in Richmond, Texas, a team of dedicated staff shares the belief that everyone deserves access to top-quality orthodontic care in a warm and welcoming environment. Under the leadership of Nicole Thompson, DMD, the practice is an invaluable resource for the local community.

Advancements in dental technology have vastly expanded orthodontic treatment options. Recent years have seen developments that were simply unimaginable just a decade ago. Today’s alignment options mean there is truly an option for every set of needs. 

Traditional metal braces remain a popular option, but fun shapes, clear brackets, lingual brackets, and even 3D printed braces allow you to customize your experience. InvisalignⓇ offers the chance to straighten your smile without attached brackets, and relies on a clear, tray-based system.

Early orthodontic treatment can prevent issues from developing into more serious problems down the line, and orthodontic appliances can augment traditional braces to address specific alignment needs. Emergency orthodontic treatment is also available in case something goes wrong between appointments. 

Laser gum reduction offers the chance to create a more aesthetically appealing gum line. Professional teeth whitening can help brighten smiles by multiple shades, and patients can choose from in-office and at-home options.

Personalized care is a central focus at Lovely Smiles Orthodontics. From the initial consultation through treatment and beyond, patients feel supported and appreciated as members of the practice family. Learn more by booking a consultation online or by phone today.
