LAKE TRAVIS ORTHODONTICS
A smile for everything ahead.
From school days to big milestones, orthodontic care should begin with a plan your teen understands.
IN THIS SECTION
Care that grows with their confidence.
Dr. Tostado enjoys getting to know young patients as they move through school, sports, and new experiences. He takes time to explain treatment and discuss what matters to them.
An evaluation looks at their teeth, bite, and stage of development before deciding whether treatment is needed and when to begin.
Braces or clear aligners?
Fixed braces and removable clear aligners can both be options for teenagers. Suitability depends on the planned movements and the daily routine they can maintain.
Aligners require consistent wear and care. Braces need careful cleaning and attention to foods that may damage the appliance. We will talk through these responsibilities together.
Keep living—and keep your care on track.
Ask about protecting teeth during sport, managing appointments around school, and caring for your appliance away from home. Regular visits let Dr. Tostado check progress and answer new questions.
After active treatment, a retainer routine helps maintain the alignment achieved.
