Smile Makeovers in Katy, TX

If you're unhappy with your smile due to crooked teeth, gaps, bite issues, or previous orthodontic relapse, a Smile Makeover from Discover Orthodontics in Katy, TX can help transform your appearance and confidence — one step at a time.

Our smile makeovers are tailored to your goals and may involve a combination of orthodontic treatments like braces, clear aligners, and post-treatment retainers. In some cases, we collaborate with local dental professionals to ensure full functional and esthetic rehabilitation.

Whether you're preparing for a big life event or simply want to feel more confident about your smile, we’ll guide you through the options and create a customized plan that works for your needs, lifestyle, and timeline.

A smile makeover is a personalized treatment plan that combines one or more procedures to improve the alignment, spacing, and overall appearance of your teeth. At Discover Orthodontics in Katy, our focus is on the orthodontic component of smile makeovers, ensuring your teeth are properly aligned before any cosmetic or restorative procedures take place.

Common concerns that smile makeovers address:

• Crooked or crowded teeth
  
• Gapped or uneven teeth
  
• Misaligned bite (overbite, underbite, crossbite)
  
• Orthodontic relapse after past treatment
  
• Teeth that look out of proportion

Every makeover begins with a comprehensive evaluation, including digital and panoramic x-rays, digital impressions, and a one-on-one consultation to understand your priorities and goals.

Proper alignment is essential for long-term function and esthetics. That’s why orthodontic treatment is often the first step in a complete smile transformation.

Your orthodontic smile makeover may include:

• Braces for moderate to complex alignment needs
  
• Clear aligners like Invisalign® or ClearCorrect® for discreet straightening
  
• Retention appliances to maintain your results
  
• Bite correction to support long-term jaw health and tooth longevity

We tailor your treatment plan based on your goals, whether you're looking to:

• Improve esthetics before veneers or whitening
  
• Correct relapse from a past treatment
  
• Address long-standing alignment or bite issues
  
• Prepare for restorative dental work like implants or crowns

If additional cosmetic procedures are needed (e.g., whitening, bonding, veneers), we’ll coordinate care with your general or cosmetic dentist to ensure a seamless process.

Smile makeovers are ideal for:

• Adults who want a dramatic change in the look and alignment of their smile
  
• Patients who didn’t complete or retain past orthodontic treatment
  
• Those with both functional and esthetic concerns
  
• Anyone preparing for a wedding, career change, or major milestone

Even if you’ve been told in the past that treatment would be too complex or take too long, our modern techniques — including orthodontic appliances and advanced imaging — may offer new solutions.

We serve patients throughout Katy, Cinco Ranch, Fulshear, and Cane Island, making follow-up care convenient, even for longer treatment plans.

During your consultation, we’ll:

• Review your concerns and goals
  
• Take digital scans and x-rays
  
• Discuss available orthodontic options
  
• Create a phased or full-plan approach depending on your timeline and budget

We also provide detailed cost estimates and financing options to help make treatment manageable and stress-free.

FAQs About Smile Makeovers

Q: How long does a smile makeover take?
A: It depends on your specific goals and the procedures involved. Orthodontic treatment may take 6–24 months, while cosmetic enhancements (like whitening or veneers) can follow once alignment is complete.

Q: Do I need to see a cosmetic dentist too?
A: If your smile makeover includes restorations like crowns, veneers, or whitening, we’ll refer you to or coordinate with a trusted cosmetic dentist. Our focus is the alignment and function of your smile through orthodontic care.

Q: Is orthodontic treatment always part of a smile makeover?
A: Not always, but it's often a key part. Many cosmetic issues — such as spacing, crowding, or bite alignment — are best addressed through orthodontics before cosmetic work is done.

Q: Can I get a smile makeover if I had braces in the past?
A: Yes. Many adult patients return for smile makeovers due to relapse or changes in alignment. We can often correct issues with clear aligners or limited braces treatment.

Q: Is a smile makeover covered by insurance?
A: Orthodontic treatment may be partially covered depending on your insurance plan and medical necessity. Cosmetic treatments are typically not covered. We’ll review all costs and payment options during your consultation.
