Orthodontic Care for the Whole Family
Sunflower Orthodontics provides specialized orthodontic care for patients of all ages from Arlington, TX, focusing on straightening teeth, correcting malocclusion and creating healthy, beautiful smiles. An orthodontist is a dental specialist focused entirely on tooth movement, jaw alignment and bite correction.
While a general dentist cares for your overall oral health, a board-certified orthodontist like Dr. Jae Brimhall has advanced expertise in diagnosing alignment issues and designing treatment plans built around you. Our Mansfield office sits right next door to Arlington, and we welcome children, teens and adults from the area. Building on the legacy of Dr. Rick Herrmann, our team offers trusted care with a modern approach. Treatment options include metal braces and Invisalign, and every new patient is invited to a free consultation with no obligation.
Braces for Arlington Patients
Metal braces remain one of the most dependable ways to straighten teeth and correct a bite, and they work well for kids, teens and adults. Dr. Jae plans each case around the movements your teeth need, then checks progress at regular visits until your smile is right where it should be.
Invisalign for Arlington Teens and Adults
Invisalign straightens teeth with a series of clear, removable aligners. You take them out to eat, brush and floss, and most people won't notice you're wearing them. It's a popular choice for teens and adults who want a straighter smile without brackets and wires. At your consultation, we'll let you know whether Invisalign is a good fit for you.
Benefits of Choosing a Nearby Orthodontist
Choosing a nearby specialist means more than convenience. It means personal attention from a team that gets to know your family, your schedule and your goals. Straight teeth do far more than look great. They support a lifetime of better oral health.
Here's what patients gain from professional orthodontic care.
- Better bite function. Properly aligned teeth improve chewing, speech clarity and jaw comfort.
- Improved confidence. A smile you're proud of boosts self-esteem at school, at work and in social settings.
- Lower risk of oral health issues. Straight teeth are easier to brush and floss, which helps reduce decay, gum disease and uneven wear.
- Specialist-level care. Unlike mail-order aligner services, an in-person orthodontist evaluates your bite and jaw before treatment begins.
- Easier follow-ups. Being close to home makes regular progress visits easier to fit around school and work.
- Options for every age. From braces for kids to Invisalign for adults, there's a treatment plan to fit your smile and your lifestyle.
When you invest in orthodontic care, you're investing in years of healthier smiles and greater confidence for the whole family.
Our Orthodontic Treatment Process
Getting started at Sunflower Orthodontics is straightforward. Here's what to expect from your first visit through the day you get your retainers.
- Free consultation and exam. Your first visit includes a full evaluation and a friendly conversation with Dr. Jae about your goals. It's free, and there's no pressure.
- Custom treatment plan review. We walk you through your recommended options, what to expect during treatment and your insurance and financing choices so you can make a confident decision.
- Braces placed or first aligners delivered. Once you're ready, we place your braces or give you your first set of Invisalign aligners along with care instructions.
- Regular progress visits. These short visits let us adjust your treatment, track tooth movement and answer questions along the way.
- Braces off or aligners finished. When your teeth reach their planned position, we remove your braces or wrap up your aligners and celebrate your new smile.
- Retainers to protect your results. Custom retainers keep your new smile in place. We'll show you exactly how and when to wear them.
Treatment length is different for everyone and depends on your needs and how your teeth respond. You'll get a personal timeline at your consultation.
Who Is a Candidate for Orthodontic Treatment?
Almost anyone with alignment or bite concerns can benefit from orthodontic care. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends every child have a first orthodontic evaluation by age 7, when an early exam can catch developing issues before they become more complex.
Here's who we commonly treat.
- Children (ages 7 to 11). Early evaluations help guide jaw growth and plan for future treatment if needed.
- Teens (ages 12 to 17). The teen years are often an ideal window for braces or Invisalign because the jaw is still growing.
- Adults. There's no age limit for a healthy, straight smile, and Invisalign is a popular choice for adults.
- Anyone with bite problems. Crowding, spacing, overbite, underbite and crossbite can be corrected at nearly any age.
It's never too late to start. A free consultation is the best way to learn what's right for you and your family.
