Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

Braces are a multi-year commitment, not a one-time appointment, so who you pick matters more than most dental decisions. Houston's top orthodontic clinics on this page have logged just over 3,800 Google reviews between them, and every single one sits between 4.6 and 5.0 stars, so the real question is which practice fits your schedule and your child's temperament.

Short answer: URBN Dental Implants & Invisalign (Midtown) leads with 4.9 stars across 919 reviews, closely matched by Greater Houston Orthodontics (4.9 from 532) and Elara Orthodontics (a perfect 5.0 from 444). A typical Houston orthodontic consultation is free at most practices, with treatment cost depending heavily on whether you choose traditional braces or Invisalign.

Health information disclaimer: This directory is informational only and not medical advice. Rankings reflect publicly available Google ratings and review volume, not clinical outcomes. Verify any practitioner’s credentials and registration with the relevant medical board before booking.

How we score

Every number on this page is computed from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the practice’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many patients have rated them, ranked against other Houston orthodontic providers. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a rating built on hundreds of reviews carries more weight than the same rating from a handful. Recency reflects how recently patients are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much do braces and Invisalign cost in Houston? (2026)

Orthodontic treatment cost in Houston depends on the case complexity, whether you choose traditional metal braces or clear aligners like Invisalign, treatment length, and your insurance coverage. We don’t have a single reliable source for current Houston-specific pricing across every practice, so we won’t invent figures. Most practices listed here offer a free initial consultation, so ask for a written quote before committing to a treatment plan.

Serving all of Houston

The clinics above cover Midtown, Bellaire, and Houston Heights, with some also serving Richmond and the wider metro. Searching for an orthodontist near me? Every listing below shows a live phone number and address so you can find the closest option and call ahead.

What to ask before you start orthodontic treatment

  • Is the initial consultation free, and does it include a full treatment plan quote?
  • Is treatment supervised by a board-certified orthodontist or a general dentist?
  • What is the expected treatment timeline for my specific case?
  • Does the price include retainers after treatment ends?
  • What happens if a bracket breaks or aligners are lost between visits?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these orthodontic clinics?

We started from real orthodontic and general dental practices offering braces or Invisalign across Houston with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency, and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (July 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Should I choose a general dentist or a specialist orthodontist for braces?

Both can provide orthodontic treatment, but a board-certified orthodontist has completed additional specialty training focused specifically on tooth movement and bite correction. Ask about credentials during your consultation.

Is Invisalign available at all of these practices?

Several of the practices here offer Invisalign alongside traditional braces, including URBN Dental and Elara Orthodontics. Confirm availability and eligibility for your case at your consultation.

The bottom line

URBN Dental is the safe default given its review volume and multi-specialty setup, while Greater Houston Orthodontics is the strongest pick if you want a dedicated, board-certified orthodontist. Get the full treatment plan and cost in writing before you commit.
