Services
Braces
Traditional braces correct misaligned teeth and jaws using brackets and wires. Ideal for patients of all ages, this treatment improves bite function and enhances facial aesthetics. Our experienced team customizes treatment plans to ensure optimal results.
Invisalign
Invisalign offers a discreet alternative to traditional braces using removable, clear aligners. This system gradually shifts teeth into proper alignment while allowing for easy oral hygiene maintenance. Suitable for adults and teens seeking aesthetic solutions.
Damon System
The Damon System uses advanced braces that eliminate the need for elastic ties, reducing friction and treatment time. This technology promotes faster tooth movement and requires fewer adjustments, enhancing patient comfort throughout the process.
Lingual Braces
Lingual braces provide a completely invisible orthodontic solution by placing brackets behind the teeth. Custom-fitted for each patient, this option maintains aesthetic appeal while delivering effective results for complex alignment issues.
Retention
Post-treatment retention ensures long-term stability of corrected smiles. We provide customized retainers and guidance to maintain proper tooth positioning after braces removal, preventing relapse and preserving treatment outcomes.

Report
Dr. Chen was an awful orthodontist along with his staff. He seemed very nonchalant about the multiple concerns that I had with my braces which I had for 3 years. He was not gentle at all, was very short with his responses about my concerns and my braces journey. The team at the fallbrook location were very nasty to me while I was a patient and I even overheard them talking about me while I was in the chair having my adjustments done. I would not recommend this orthodontist at all. I probably only saw Dr. Chen 4 times in the 3 years that I was serviced for my braces, he was not thorough and I felt

This is my second child to go through the "braces journey" with Texas Orthodontic Specialist and just like the first time around, everyone is always so friendly and informative.

I felt safe and very welcomed there. They made me feel as if I definitely mattered and held their word on everything they said. We were called in early, taken care of quickly despite the numerous amounts of people there, the assistants and Dr. Chen were all very polite, patient and helpful, and there was no discomfort at any point in time. I really enjoyed my time there! The office was spotless, comforting, and very inviting for its clients. Everything was done correctly and efficiently. Overall, my experience was flawless and I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Chen to everyone that wants that perfect smile

Super friendly! My daughter started to go here when she was 10. Was super nervous, and anxious. The Texas Orthodontist team has been incredibly supportive. Talking to her through the entire process, letting her ask questions through every step, the entire staff have been amazingly positive and loving walking her through this new journey! Highly recommend!

Dr. Stephen Chen is a very good orthodontic specialist, and a great human being. For people in Houston, our previous orthodontist Dr. Don Speck abandoned more than 500 patients, and we were one of them. Dr. Stephen Chen took us in and completed the remaining 6 months of my daughter's braces at no cost. And he did a fantastic job. We'll definitely recommend him to our friends and family.

From the moment I called to make my appointment, everyone at Texas Orthodontic Specialists made me feel very comfortable with the care I am receiving. I was checked in right away, and Dr. McCarty was very thorough and confident with her exam and explanations! I would gladly refer anyone here for orthodontic treatment - the team is excellent!

Just wanted to say thank you so much. This team is very understanding and made me feel at ease. I loved how welcoming and safe I felt trusting Dr. Joseph Chen and his team performing surgery on my big 17 year old baby. Specials thanks to Emily, Amanda, Gricelda, and Carolina. This visit meant a lot because it was fast, professional and caring people, I can't stop talking about you guys! Great, great, great place.
