Image Orthodontic

At Image Orthodontics we always strive for orthodontic excellence, keeping in mind the individual needs of every patient. Our friendly doctor and staff are highly trained and will certainly make you feel at home. Dr. Phang is a member of the American Association of Orthodontists, Southwest Society of Orthodontists, American Dental Association, Greater Houston Dental Society, and Omicron Kappa Upsilon National Honor Society.

Our adult patients usually choose cosmetic (clear) braces, lingual (invisible) braces on the inside of their teeth, or no braces at all (Invisalign clear aligners). Our lingual braces, called Incognito, are 100% customized to meet the unique orthodontic prescription of every patient. Customization can lead to a more convenient and comfortable treatment experience.

There might be some general soreness of the teeth and mouth. Usually, this is not enough to interfere with your daily routine, but if soreness is severe, Motrin (ibuprofen) is the most widely used pain reliever for children and adults. Please consult your orthodontist or dentist before taking any pain medications.

Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that involves the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of facial and dental problems. The word literally translates as "Straight Teeth" however contemporary orthodontics is not limited to straightening teeth only. Our goal is to achieve the ideal dental and facial appearance and obtain an ideal occlusion (bite) which can be maintained a lifetime with an appropriate retention program (ask your orthodontist about the importance of retainer wear).An orthodontist is a specialist in dentistry restricting their practice only to the treatment of orthodontic problems.
