Teeth Straightening Options from Dr. Amir Davoody
Reviewed by Dr. Amir Davoody, board-certified orthodontist (ABO Diplomate).
Have you been hiding your smile or covering your mouth when you laugh? You are not alone. Many adults and teens live with misaligned teeth, and today’s teeth straightening options are more comfortable, effective, and discreet than ever. At Davoody & Hablinski Orthodontics in Houston, TX, Dr. Amir Davoody, a board-certified orthodontist and Top 1% Invisalign Provider, tailors care to your goals and lifestyle.
Why choose professional teeth straightening?
You may see DIY aligners advertised online, but your smile deserves expert care. Crooked or misaligned teeth are not only a cosmetic concern; they can make certain areas hard to clean, raise the risk of decay and gum disease, cause uneven wear, contribute to jaw pain, and affect speech and confidence. Patients consistently report straighter teeth, better oral health, and renewed confidence after orthodontic treatment.
Your modern options
Invisalign
If you want a discreet option that fits a busy professional or social life, Invisalign may be ideal. The clear aligners are nearly invisible and removable, so you eat what you like and brush normally. Made from smooth plastic, they avoid the irritation brackets can cause, and Dr. Davoody plans each case with a 3D digital scan.
Traditional metal braces
Metal braces remain one of the most effective options, especially for complex cases. Modern brackets are smaller and more comfortable than before, efficient at moving teeth, often the most cost-effective choice, and suitable for all ages.
Ceramic braces
For patients who want the strength of braces with a more discreet look, tooth-colored ceramic brackets blend with your teeth while delivering reliable results.

Treatment for every stage of life
Adults. It is never too late. Dr. Davoody has treated patients well into their 70s, and roughly one in five orthodontic patients today is an adult. Adult treatment can correct issues missed in childhood or address relapse after earlier orthodontics.
Teens. The teen years matter for self-esteem. Whether it is Invisalign for an athlete or ceramic braces for a musician, there is a teen option that fits.
Children. Sometimes early evaluation around age seven can prevent more complex problems later and shorten overall treatment.
