Not all braces are created equal. At Pinnacle Dental, we offer four distinct orthodontic options to match your goals, timeline, and aesthetic preferences. Here's what you can choose from:
Metal braces are the most time-tested and affordable orthodontic option. Modern metal brackets are significantly smaller and more comfortable than older versions. They're ideal for correcting complex alignment issues and are a popular choice for kids and teens.
Most AffordableCeramic braces work like metal braces but use tooth-colored or clear brackets that blend naturally with your smile. They're a great middle-ground for patients who want effective correction without the highly visible appearance of metal hardware.
Discreet LookLingual braces are bonded to the inside (tongue-side) of your teeth, making them completely invisible from the outside. They provide the same corrective power as traditional braces with zero visible hardware — perfect for professionals and image-conscious adults.
Completely HiddenAs a certified Invisalign provider, Pinnacle Dental offers the most popular removable aligner system on the market. Custom-crafted trays shift your teeth gradually and discreetly. They're removable for eating and brushing, making them exceptionally convenient. Explore our dedicated Frisco Invisalign page to learn more.

Book AppointmentGetting braces is a significant commitment, but understanding the process from start to finish makes it much less intimidating. Here's a clear breakdown of what you can expect when you choose Pinnacle Dental for orthodontic care in Frisco:
Your journey begins with a no-pressure consultation at our Frisco dental office We review your dental history, examine your bite and tooth alignment, and discuss which type of braces best suits your goals and lifestyle. This is your opportunity to ask questions and get a realistic cost estimate.
We use advanced digital imaging and 3D scanning technology to create a precise picture of your teeth, jaw structure, and bone density. This allows us to design a completely personalized treatment plan rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
Once your plan is finalized, we schedule your braces placement appointment. The bonding process typically takes 1–2 hours and is painless. For Invisalign patients, your first set of custom trays will be ready and fitted during this visit.
Throughout your treatment, you'll visit us every 4–8 weeks for adjustments, progress checks, and wire changes. These visits are essential to keeping your teeth moving in the right direction. Our Frisco family dentistry team makes every visit comfortable and efficient.
When your teeth have reached their ideal position, your braces are removed — a momentous occasion! We'll take final impressions to create a custom retainer, which holds your new smile in place. Retainers are critical — without them, teeth can shift back over time.
We continue to monitor your smile through periodic follow-up visits. Your beautiful new smile is an investment, and we're committed to protecting it for the long term. Patients from across the Frisco area — including The Colony, McKinney, and Allen — return to us for ongoing retention check-ins.
Orthodontic treatment isn't one-size-fits-all — and it certainly isn't just for teenagers. We provide specialized care for every life stage, with treatment plans designed around the unique needs of each age group.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. Early intervention — also called Phase 1 treatment — can guide jaw development, create space for incoming permanent teeth, and potentially shorten future treatment time.
Teenage years are the most common time for braces because most permanent teeth have erupted and the jaw is still developing. We offer both traditional metal braces and Invisalign for teens — with options designed around busy school and sports schedules.
It's never too late to get the smile you deserve. A growing number of adults across Frisco are choosing orthodontic treatment — and modern options make it more discreet and convenient than ever. Whether you prefer clear ceramic braces or Invisalign, we have you covered.
With so many orthodontic providers in the DFW area, choosing the right one matters. Here's why Frisco families consistently choose Pinnacle Dental as their trusted orthodontist in Frisco:

Getting braces is only part of the journey — taking care of them is equally important. Proper maintenance ensures your treatment stays on track and your teeth emerge healthy when the braces come off.
For patients pursuing cosmetic improvements alongside orthodontics, explore our Frisco cosmetic dentistry services and Frisco teeth whitening options — many patients choose to whiten their teeth immediately after braces are removed for a stunning final result. You can also consider Frisco dental crowns and bridges if restorative work is needed alongside your orthodontic treatment. For patients who experience jaw pain or TMJ discomfort during orthodontic treatment, our team is also equipped to evaluate and address these concerns.
We've compiled the most common questions Frisco patients ask us about orthodontic treatment. If you don't see your question here, we'd love to answer it personally.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an initial orthodontic evaluation by age 7. While this doesn't mean braces start at 7, early evaluation allows us to identify developing issues and plan intervention at the optimal time. Most children begin active orthodontic treatment between ages 9–14, when most permanent teeth have erupted and the jaw is still developing. Our Frisco family dentistry team offers comprehensive evaluations for children of all ages.
Treatment time varies based on the complexity of the case and the type of braces used. On average, traditional metal or ceramic braces are worn for 18 to 36 months. Invisalign treatment often takes 12 to 18 months for mild to moderate cases. At your consultation, Dr. Jang will give you a personalized timeline based on your specific alignment needs and goals.
The process of bonding braces to your teeth is completely painless. However, it's common to experience some soreness and sensitivity for 3–5 days after initial placement and after each adjustment visit. This is a sign that your teeth are responding to the treatment. Over-the-counter pain relievers and soft foods typically provide sufficient relief. Our Frisco team will walk you through what to expect and how to manage any discomfort effectively.
Many dental insurance plans include orthodontic coverage, typically covering a portion of treatment costs — often between $1,000 and $2,500 for children, and sometimes for adults as well. Pinnacle Dental accepts all major PPO plans and will conduct a complimentary benefits check before your treatment begins, so you know exactly what you'll owe. We also offer in-house membership plans and flexible financing to help cover the remaining balance.
Braces use metal or ceramic brackets bonded to the teeth and connected by wires to gradually shift teeth into position. Invisalign uses a series of custom clear plastic trays that are worn 20–22 hours per day and changed every 1–2 weeks. Braces are fixed and typically more effective for complex cases, while Invisalign is removable and more discreet. The best option depends on your specific alignment needs, lifestyle, and preference. Our team will help you make the right choice during your consultation.
Absolutely. Orthodontic treatment is effective at any age, and we treat a significant number of adult patients in Frisco. We offer ceramic braces, lingual braces, and Invisalign in Frisco — all designed to accommodate adult lifestyles, professional appearances, and busy schedules. It's never too late to invest in your smile.
Yes — retainers are an essential and often overlooked part of orthodontic treatment. After braces are removed, your teeth have a natural tendency to drift back toward their original positions. A retainer (either removable or permanently bonded) prevents this from happening. Most patients wear a retainer nightly for life to maintain their results. We'll fit your custom retainer on the same day your braces are removed.
Booking is simple. You can contact us online, call our Frisco office directly at (469) 421-8161, or book through our patient portal. We offer flexible weekday and Saturday appointment options to fit your schedule. Your initial consultation includes a full oral exam, digital X-rays (if needed), and a detailed treatment overview — all at no obligation.
