Why Choose Braces?
There's a reason why people think "braces" when we mention orthodontics. Braces have been around for a very long time — centuries, in fact. They can be a very effective away to not only achieve the ideal smile, but also help correct misaligned bites, including both underbites and overbites.
When determining the best course of action to fix your smile, Dr. Boren will perform a thorough examination, including X-rays, and may take photos of your face. We will then decide what type of braces would work best for you.
Which type of braces is best for you?
It depends, and a lot of it comes down to understanding your lifestyle and preferences. Braces are a commitment, after all, something you'll wear on your teeth and need to take care of for at least a few months. But there's more to it. Your unique smile and bite play a part, too, so the best way to find out is to have a free consult with Dr. Boren. He'll be happy to help you figure out a path that can help you achieve your goals.

How Braces Work
Braces consist of bands and wires. Depending on your needs, other corrective appliances may be required. They work by applying pressure on your teeth to move your teeth into the right position. Your mouth will be closely monitored and adjustments will be made to ensure they are working the way they are supposed to. Boren Orthodontics offers two types of braces: metal and clear.
Types of Braces
Dr. Boren and our team don't have a "one size fits all" approach to smile care because every smile is different, and each one belongs to someone who has different needs and different lifestyle preferences. That's why we offere customized treatments.
Metal Braces for Our Midland Patients
Classic metal braces are an excellent option for both adults and children. Our conventional braces are made of top-grade stainless steel archwires and brackets that are strategically positioned to give you the beautiful smile you would like. They are an ideal option for patients with jaw alignment issues, gapped or crowded teeth, under- or over-bites, and protruding teeth. In addition, we use high-quality elastic bands that don't easily break and are simple to put on. In your consultation with Dr. Boren, He will discuss your orthodontic treatments and help you pick the method that suits your goals.
Clear Braces: A Low Profile Alternative
Many people don’t want to get the orthodontic treatment that they need because they don’t want to wear metal braces. However, you can still get the smile you deserve with the new alternatives that are available. Clear braces are much less noticeable than metal braces but still give patients the smile they deserve.
Importantly, Invisalign® clear aligners are not the same as clear braces. Clear aligners are removeable plastic trays that you wear like you would wear a mouthguard.
Clear braces are just like metal braces, but they are almost invisible. Clear braces have many advantages. They are almost invisible, giving patients who do not want traditional braces another alternative. They also help improve patients’ confidence.
Important Considerations for Clear Braces
Despite all of the advantages, there are some disadvantages too. They can also become discolored by tea, coffee, wine, and other foods. Smoking can also cause discoloration. Treatment with clear braces can also take a little longer than treatment with metal ones. However, if you are dedicated to getting the smile you deserve, you will find investing time into your smile well worth it.
After a thorough examination with X-rays, we will be happy to discuss your many options for improving your smile. We will go over the advantages and disadvantages of each so that we can determine the right course of treatment.

We had the best experience with Dr Boren and all of his office staff. From the beginning you always got in fast, they are friendly. When our daughter needed her braces removed while intubated in the PICU in Lubbock Dr Boren made sure he got the right person to us to take care of her. He went above and beyond. I appreciate the kindness of Dr Boren and his staff. Her overall smile is beautiful and we couldn’t be happier.
Recently finished my Invisalign treatment with Dr. Boren and his team, and what an awesome experience it’s been! From start to finish he and his staff were so attentive and friendly, making sure I was completely satisfied with my smile.The process was made very easy and clear. I was always taken care of in a timely manner and any questions or concerns I had could be answered through an app, so I didn’t have to wait long for answers.If you’re interested in learning more about Invisalign or want to get braces, Dr. Boren and his team are definitely the way to go!I went from almost never showing my smile, to cheesin every chance I get! 😁
