Realign Your Teeth with Traditional Braces

Whether you have a child whose dentist recommended an orthodontic treatment or an adult wanting straight teeth, at Haltom Orthodontics Paseo, we offer traditional metal braces as a treatment for a beautiful smile. We want to help you make an informed choice as you seek to get a straighter smile and a healthier mouth. Braces can fix poor tooth alignment and crooked or crowded teeth. Neglecting to correct your abnormal bite can actually cause different oral health problems like tooth decay, gum disease, and jaw issues. Call our orthodontics office in Paseo, NM, to book your virtual consultation. 

Why Should You Choose Traditional Braces?

Braces are more affordable than other teeth alignment methods. You also don’t have to worry about misplacing them or accidentally losing your equipment. The end results will improve your self-esteem and your bite. Traditional braces can treat a wide range of issues, including: 

  • Overbite 
  • Underbite 
  • Crossbite 
  • Open Bite 
  • Gapped Teeth 
  • Crowded Teeth

What to Expect with Braces

Even though traditional metal braces might seem intimidating and painful, recent advancements have provided more lightweight and comfortable options. Our braces are made from stainless steel and have metal brackets that attach to each tooth. Each bracket is wired together to put pressure on the teeth allowing them to move with time. When you choose to opt in to receive traditional braces, expect to receive treatment for about one to three years. Brushing and flossing is very important to help get rid of food inside the metal framing. Learn more about traditional metal braces by contacting us today. 

Invisalign Clear Aligners for Straight Teeth

Don’t like the idea of metal braces in your mouth to straighten out your teeth? At Haltom Orthodontics Paseo, we offer a more ideal option. With Invisalign clear aligners, you can improve the aesthetics of your smile with a more comfortable alternative to braces. Invisalign is an effective way to straighten teeth with minimal change in your day-to-day activities and without drawing attention to your mouth. We have treated countless patients, teens and adults, with the latest in Invisalign treatments in Paseo, NM. We start by creating an individualized plan based on your needs.

What Can Invisalign Correct?

Invisalign corrects the same dental problems as traditional braces. The only difference is that Invisalign is almost invisible, and they can be removed when you’d like. Some common issues that can be corrected with Invisalign include:


  • Crowded Teeth. Overcrowding teeth can cause tooth decay and increase the probability of gum disease. 
  • Gaps Between Teeth. Gaps occur because you might have missing teeth or the jaw grows abnormally.
  • Crossbite. Occurs when one or multiple teeth bite inside the lower teeth. This can lead to bone erosion or gum disease. 
  • Overbite. When the upper teeth project further than the lower teeth. This can cause jaw pain and TMJ. 
  • Underbite. When the lower teeth project further than the upper teeth. This can also cause jaw pain and TMJ.
