A Modern Solution for a Confident Smile
Straighten your smile without the hassle of metal braces. At Discover Orthodontics in Katy, TX 77449, we offer discreet and effective clear aligner treatment options like Invisalign® and ClearCorrect® — designed for teens and adults looking for a more flexible orthodontic experience.
Whether you're seeking to fix mild crowding or close gaps in your smile, our board-certified orthodontists use custom aligner systems and advanced 3D imaging to ensure precision and comfort throughout your treatment.
Why Choose Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are transparent trays that gradually move your teeth into alignment. Unlike traditional braces, they’re removable, comfortable, and virtually invisible.
Clear aligners may be the right choice for you if you're looking to:
- Correct mild to moderate crowding or spacing
- Straighten teeth discreetly for personal or professional reasons
- Remove appliances for eating, brushing, or special events
- Avoid frequent in-office adjustments
At Discover Orthodontics, we evaluate each patient with digital imaging and a personalized treatment plan to ensure optimal results.

Not Sure If You're a Candidate?
Clear aligners work well for many common orthodontic issues, including:
- Crowded teeth
- Gapped teeth

However, for more complex alignment or bite issues, braces or other orthodontic appliances may be recommended.
