Orthodontics in Converse
Crooked teeth, crowded teeth, and misaligned bites are among the most common dental concerns adults and teens face, yet they are also among the most correctable. The good news is that orthodontic treatment has come a long way from the era of bulky metal hardware and years-long commitments with little flexibility, and today’s options make straightening your smile more comfortable and more discreet than ever before.
At Advanced Smile Care, we have been helping San Antonio-area patients achieve healthier, better-aligned smiles for more than 40 years, and Converse patients can access our full range of orthodontic treatments close to home. Whether you are a teen getting your first set of braces or an adult finally addressing a bite issue you have lived with for years, our team takes the time to understand your goals and build a treatment plan that fits your life.
Why Orthodontic Treatment Matters
Orthodontics is about more than appearance, though the confidence that comes with a straighter smile is nothing to dismiss. Misaligned teeth are harder to clean effectively, increasing the risk of tooth decay and gum disease over time. A poor bite can contribute to uneven wear, jaw discomfort, and even headaches. Research published through the National Institutes of Health has found that malocclusion negatively affects oral health-related quality of life in adults, and orthodontic treatment consistently improves it. Addressing alignment is an investment in your long-term dental health, not just your reflection.
Orthodontic treatment is also no longer reserved for younger patients. Adults make up a growing share of orthodontic patients nationwide, and many find that modern treatment options fit more naturally into their professional and personal lives than they expected.

Our Orthodontic Options
We offer multiple treatment approaches so that patients of all ages in Converse can find the path to straighter teeth that works for them. Every case begins with a thorough evaluation, including a review of your bite, your tooth alignment, and your overall oral health, before we recommend any specific treatment.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign is one of the most requested orthodontic options we offer, and for good reason. The system uses a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners that fit snugly over your teeth and shift them gradually into alignment over time. Because the aligners are removable, you can eat whatever you like and maintain your normal brushing and flossing routine throughout treatment. They are nearly invisible when worn, making them a particularly popular choice among adult patients and teens who prefer a more discreet option.
Not every case is ideal for Invisalign, which is why we evaluate each patient individually.
Traditional and Clear Braces
For more complex alignment issues, or for younger patients whose treatment plans call for more precise control, traditional braces remain one of the most effective tools in orthodontics. We offer both metal and clear bracket options, so patients who prefer a less noticeable appearance can achieve that without sacrificing effectiveness. Braces work continuously without the need to remember to swap aligners, which some patients and parents find reassuring for compliance throughout treatment.
If you are comparing options for a teenager, our guide to Invisalign vs. braces for teens walks through the key considerations that can help you make the most informed decision for your child’s specific needs and lifestyle.
Orthodontics and Your Overall Smile
One of the things that sets Advanced Smile Care apart is that orthodontic treatment does not happen in a vacuum here. Because we offer a full spectrum of cosmetic and general dental services, our team can address any underlying oral health issues before, during, or after orthodontic treatment, and help you coordinate additional enhancements once your alignment is complete. Patients who want to combine teeth whitening, bonding, or other cosmetic work with their orthodontic outcome can plan for that with us in a single, coordinated care environment.
