Conventional Braces

Align Your Teeth With Dental Braces From Nu Dentistry

Metallic braces are a classic choice. Much like with clear braces, the treatment period with conventional braces depends on your specific orthodontic needs.

While they are known for being bulky, recent technology has made them lighter and easier to wear. They still an extremely effective treatment option and are usually recommended for dental patients with more complex needs.

Invisalign

For many people, traditional metal braces are not an option because of their look and general bulky nature. Invisalign is a popular alternative that uses clear dental aligners to gradually straighten teeth. The aligners are virtually invisible, and they can be removed for eating and brushing. In addition, Invisalign treatment is often shorter than traditional braces, and it typically has fewer side effects.

Never Thought I'd Say It
Alexandra Jansen

I never thought I’d say it, but going to the dentist is actually fun now. I recently came in for a root canal, and I got to sit back and catch up on Stranger Things without any pain!

Anxiety Has Kept Me Away
Johnathan Smits

I usually have such huge anxiety when I go to a dentist appointment, which means I always put off visits until the last minute to disastrous consequences. However, Dr. Loggins helped me with sedation, so the entire process was a breeze!

The Best Dentist In Houston
Sandra Archuleta

We have been looking for a family dentist for a long time. Not too long ago we met Dr. Ali. Not only was he professional, kind, and gentle, but he always finds a way to fit us in when we need an appointment. He’s also pretty funny! I appreciate that he takes the time to explain what he’s doing, before he does it. That really puts me at ease.

Part Of The Family
Anthony Fernandez

When I come in for an exam, Dr. Alrajab makes me feel like I’m a part of his family. I haven’t had a single cavity or filling done since I started coming here, which is a real change from my last hygienist.
