Services
Braces
Traditional metal braces and clear ceramic braces correct misaligned teeth through gradual pressure. Our Tyler practice offers colored bands for personalization and utilizes modern techniques to improve comfort and reduce treatment time for patients of all ages.
Invisalign
Invisalign clear aligners straighten teeth discreetly using custom-made plastic trays. This removable solution suits teens and adults seeking subtle treatment, with average treatment duration of 9-15 months and fewer office visits required compared to traditional braces.
Herbst Appliance
The Herbst appliance addresses overbite issues by encouraging proper lower jaw development. This fixed device promotes natural jaw growth while allowing normal mouth function, particularly effective for teenage patients requiring skeletal correction during orthodontic treatment.
Adult Orthodontics
Specialized orthodontic treatments for adults improve smile aesthetics and oral health. We offer discreet options like clear braces and Invisalign while addressing age-related concerns such as gum recession and enamel protection through personalized treatment planning.
Clear Braces
Clarity Advanced Ceramic Braces provide subtle tooth straightening with clear brackets that blend with natural teeth. These durable, stain-resistant braces offer aesthetic benefits while maintaining effectiveness comparable to traditional metal braces for patients seeking discreet orthodontic correction.

We are new to orthodontics and the team at Hutto has so far been absolutely amazing. My daughter went in so nervous, but within 10 minutes, she was laughing and smiling. They make you feel important and the atmosphere is so fun! I absolutely recommend this place to anyone old or new to the world of braces.
