Orthodontics

Braces

Straight, healthy smiles for every age — from a practice with orthodontics in its name.

Braces in San Antonio for kids, teens, and adults — from a practice where orthodontics isn't a side service but half the name. Still Water Dental Care and Orthodontics offers metal, ceramic, and clear options under one roof with your family's general dentist, which means fewer referrals, coordinated care, and one place for every checkup. Flexible monthly payments make treatment predictable, and free consultations mean you'll know the full plan and price before committing.

What Braces Fix

  • Crowded or overlapping teeth that are hard to clean.
  • Gaps and uneven spacing across the smile.
  • Overbites, underbites, and crossbites that strain the jaw.
  • Bite issues that cause uneven wear, chipping, or speech trouble.

Types of Braces We Offer

  • Metal braces: The proven workhorse — durable, effective for complex cases, and the most budget-friendly.
  • Ceramic braces: Tooth-colored brackets that blend in, popular with teens and adults.
  • Clear options: For many mild-to-moderate cases, clear aligners can do the job — we offer both, so our advice isn't biased.

Braces vs Invisalign

Braces stay on and work around the clock — ideal for complex bites, rotations, and kids who might misplace aligners. Aligners are nearly invisible and removable, but they only work while they're worn.

Because we offer both under one roof, your consultation ends with an honest recommendation for your bite — not a sales pitch. Compare with Invisalign treatment or ask us to walk you through both on your own X-rays.

  • Placement visit: brackets and wires fitted in about an hour.
  • Adjustments every 4-8 weeks to keep teeth moving on schedule.
  • Retainers after removal to lock in your new smile.

How much do braces cost in San Antonio?

Typically $3,000-$6,000 depending on complexity. Monthly payment plans start with your free consultation quote.

What age should my child see an orthodontist?

Around age 7 for a first evaluation — most kids won't need treatment yet, but early checks catch bite issues while they're simple.

Do adults get braces?

Constantly — about 1 in 4 ortho patients is an adult. Ceramic and clear options keep treatment subtle.

How long will I wear braces?

Most cases take 18-24 months; simple corrections can be under a year.

Are braces or Invisalign better for my case?

It depends on your bite. We offer both under one roof, so you get an honest recommendation — complex cases usually do better with braces, while many mild-to-moderate cases can choose either.
