Ask Dr. Shao at Showtime Orthodontics In The Woodlands TX

A: Yes!! We love sports! Keep active and keep moving! We recommend a mouthguard to protect your teeth from any accident that may occur before, during, and after braces.

A: Yes! We will work closely with your restorative/general dentist to make sure that your treatment progress as planned for the best result.

A: Yes! It is important to have all cavities filled and have all necessary cleanings completed prior to starting your orthodontic treatment. We will coordinate with your general dentist to confirm that your oral health is in great shape prior to starting treatment. If you don’t have a dentist, we would be more than happy to recommend you to one in the area.

A: Yes! It is very important for you to see your dentist every six months, or as recommended by your dentist.

A: Nope! No referral is necessary. Please contact us today for a FREE consultation, exam, and records.

A: Teeth, and sometimes entire facial structures, are permanently changed by orthodontic treatment. It is important that the treatment be appropriate and properly completed. Following the completion of dental school, an orthodontic specialist has undergone two to three additional years of university-based postdoctoral residency training in order to learn the special skills required to manage the complexities of orthodontic treatment. After this, an orthodontic specialist will no longer do general dentistry and will only do orthodontics. Just as a heart doctor is a specialist in the field of medicine, an orthodontist is a specialist in the field of dentistry.

A: Absolutely! We are open every Saturday, Sunday, and early morning on Fridays. Plus, on Thursdays and Saturdays we are open until 7 p.m. Here at Showtime Orthodontics, we feel that having braces doesn’t always mean you have to miss school or work. We understand that life is busy, and we want to be here to make having a beautiful smile accessible.
