Our technology

Advanced Care

The technology we use is designed to give you a comfortable experience and ensure that you receive the best results from your treatment.

Thanks to iTero scanning technology, you no longer have to bite down on goopy and messy molds to get an impression of your smile.

Digital X-Rays

Digital X-rays are a safer and more comfortable imaging option for our patients, allowing us to diagnose and treat problems more accurately.

CBCT

Cone Beam Computed Tomography, or CBCT, is a high-tech form of imaging that goes above and beyond standard X-rays or dental pictures.

TADs

TADs, or Temporary Anchorage Devices, provide additional support when braces alone aren’t sufficient to achieve specific tooth movement.

Diode Laser

The diode laser is a high-tech tool designed to gently reshape gum tissue, improving both the aesthetics and functionality of your smile.

We truly love what we do and believe that is shows in every interaction we have. Take a look at some of the amazing reviews we’ve received over the years!

My Daughter goes here for her braces and it’s 10/10 I recommend for any orthodontic needs they are the best we go to the Paseo location and they are always Very nice and accommodating we... love them!read more

Pasqual G.

I was seeking a mouthguard/retainer after getting an extraction and then finding that nerve damage was going to prevent me from being able to get an implant. I was referred to Haltom... Orthodontics by a friend who said she had gotten the best retainer/mouthguards she’d ever gotten from them. My experience has also been exceptional. My retainer/mouthguard has been amazingly helpful for keeping the pain down in the damaged area. And the staff have been consistently helpful and upbeat, including helping with adjustment to the retainer when needed. I get a sense of a very positive workplace where people like their jobs and like working together, which says a lot and is hard to come by these days.read more

Deanna N.

I got my braces off in 2017 and remember my orthodontists visits were phenomenal. From the doctors, assistants, receptionists, and staff, they went above and beyond during my visits. 7... years later, my retainer had come loose and they got me in for an appointment. The staff are still exceptional and i would recommend them for your treatment.read more
