Straight teeth never go out of style, and neither does our commitment to helping you achieve your healthiest, most confident smile. At Parkway Modern Dentistry, our dentist in Houston, TX, is proud to offer traditional braces as a tried-and-true solution that has stood the test of time. Combining the reliability of this classic treatment with the innovations of modern dentistry, we deliver results that leave you grinning from ear to ear.
Traditional braces are loved for a reason. This orthodontic treatment—made of metal brackets bonded to each tooth and connected by a thin wire—gently applies pressure to shift teeth into proper alignment over time. Suitable for all ages, braces offer more control to tackle complex cases compared to Invisalign®.
But our dentist takes this dependable treatment and elevates it. We may use the same mechanics trusted by Houston orthodontists for decades, but at Parkway Modern Dentistry, getting braces is anything but old-school. Our advanced imaging provides you with precise treatment plans you can see for yourself. Plus, you can expect cozy amenities and a customer-first approach.
Seeking a more discreet option but still need more control and precision than clear aligners provide? Clear braces offer the same level of effectiveness in treating alignment and bite issues, but are made from transparent or tooth-colored materials. They blend seamlessly with your smile, making them far less noticeable than traditional metal braces.
You may feel some soreness when you first get braces or after adjustments, but it’s temporary and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief and our tips.
While you’ll want to avoid sticky, hard, or chewy foods, there are still plenty of delicious things to enjoy. We’ll provide a list of what to avoid and what’s braces-friendly.
Treatment times vary depending on your unique smile needs, but on average, braces are worn for 18-24 months. During your consultation, we’ll walk you through your timeline.
Adjustments are typically scheduled every 4-6 weeks. These visits ensure the braces are doing their job and that your smile is progressing just as it should.
We combine the comfort of a close-knit community with the innovation of a state-of-the-art dental practice.
We know life can be busy, so we have extended hours, making it easier than ever to prioritize your smile without disrupting your schedule.
Get everything you need under one roof, from preventative cleanings to advanced diagnostics—all at affordable prices.

Amazing experience overall! Staff was fantastic and extremely kind. Had to get wisdom teeth removal done and Dr. Ling did an amazing job with the procedure. Everyone made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire procedure and it was a very positive experience! Thank you to the whole team!
I started my Invisalign journey with Dr. Ling, that required tooth extraction. The experience has been wonderful. He is very detailed, skilled, and so patient to answer any and all questions.
I’m so impressed with this dentist office. First off, it’s beautiful! The office is so nice and brand new. Secondly, the staff is AMAZING! Everyone I encountered (receptionist, x ray tech, hygienist, etc) were so nice and very cool! Dr. Ling is literally the nicest dentist. I have zero complaints and not one remotely negative thing to say about my experience.
