Orthodontics for All Ages In Leander

Dr. Pendleton believes everyone should have personalized orthodontic care and stunningly straight smiles.

At Pendleton Orthodontics, we’re proud to offer a full range of treatments from early orthodontics, to teens, and adults at our office in Leander.

Dr. Pendleton can help you with many orthodontic issues, like bite problems, tooth alignment, TMJ disorder, and sleep apnea. You’ll find the latest treatment options at Pendleton Orthodontics, including:

Dr. Pendleton and the American Association of Orthodontists encourage parents of young children to bring them in by six or seven for early orthodontic care if they notice potential orthodontic problems.

Dr. Pendleton underwent two-phase treatment as a child, including wearing braces twice. Because of his own experience with childhood orthodontics, Dr. Pendleton takes a conservative approach to early interceptive orthodontics.

Dr. Pendleton makes his recommendations on a case-by-case basis and only suggests early orthodontic treatment if he spots any red flags. Dr. Pendleton feels strongly about making the right choices regarding early interceptive orthodontics.

If you're a parent, we encourage you to bring your children for a free consultation for our early orthodontic care here in Leander. We will help them make the best decisions for their smiles!

Benefits of Early Orthodontics

  • Correct bite problems (overbites, under bites, cross bites)
  • Eliminate or modify oral habits harmful to your child’s oral health
  • Reduce the length of time required for later orthodontic treatment – or eliminate the need for later treatment altogether
  • Prevent “crowding” of permanent teeth

Reasons for Early Orthodontics

Dr. Pendleton will only decide if your child will benefit from early interceptive treatment after he examines their smile and speaks with you directly about the pros and cons.

Reasons Why Early Orthodontic Treatment Is Necessary for Children:

  • Severe “crowding” of teeth (i.e., too many teeth for the size of the mouth)
  • Children with an open bite who suck their thumbs or engage in other habits such as breathing through their mouths or tongue thrusting
  • Kids with a narrowed upper jaw
  • Severe bite problems, such as overbites or underbites

The most common time for teen orthodontic treatment at Pendleton Orthodontics is between the ages of 11 and 16.

Experienced orthodontists like Dr. Pendleton can easily recognize spacing, crowding, bite, and alignment issues in this age range, and your teen's bone and jaw structure are formed enough to allow orthodontic treatment for teens to begin.

At Pendleton Orthodontics, your teen can choose between Invisalign clear aligners, metal braces, or clear ceramic braces.

Each of these choices offers unique benefits while transforming your teen’s smile. If you need orthodontics for teens in Leander, call us today.

Signs You Need Teen Orthodontic Care

If you notice any of the following issues, schedule a free consultation with Dr. Pendleton to find out if you need teen orthodontic care. These are the signs your teen may benefit from orthodontic treatment at our office.

  • Early, late, or irregular loss of their baby teeth
  • Jaws and teeth that are out of proportion to the rest of the face
  • Difficulty with chewing or biting
  • Protruding teeth
  • Frequent biting of the cheek or the inside of the mouth
  • Teeth that meet abnormally or not at all
  • Crowding or extra spacing between teeth
  • Jaws that shift or make sounds

Benefits of a Straight Smile for Teens

At Pendleton Orthodontics, our care can give your teenager tons of benefits, like:

  • Less prone to wear and tear, chipping, and tooth trauma
  • Easier to keep clean, helping to prevent tooth decay and cavities
  • Improving proper chewing and digestion of food
  • Reducing the chances of developing gum disease, which can result in bone loss, decay, and tooth loss

Your smile is the first thing other people notice about you. Do you love yours? Adult orthodontic care is one of the best decisions you'll ever make.

Believe it or not, your teeth do not stop moving after adolescence; teeth that were straight in youth can shift later in life. This can lead to jaw pain, trouble brushing, or a smile you're unhappy with.

If you leave misaligned teeth untreated, you may end up with other dental problems, including tooth decay, gum disease, abnormal wear on the surface of your teeth, and difficulty chewing normally.

Dr. Pendleton can address oral issues through adult orthodontic treatment, giving you a healthier smile. We can correct orthodontic problems for adults just as easily as we do for children at Pendleton Orthodontics.

You're never too old for adult orthodontic treatment. Dr. Pendleton uses orthodontic forces to move teeth in the same way as adults and children, and you'll notice the benefits of your treatment in no time.

If you're in Leander and need adult orthodontic treatment, contact us today for a free consult.

Straight Teeth Are Healthy

After Dr. Pendleton aligns your teeth, it's easier for you to clean them through regular flossing and brushing. This helps prevent other oral issues, including problems affecting your overall health.

A Straight Smile Builds Confidence & Self-Esteem

Successful orthodontic treatment at Pendleton Orthodontics can help boost your self-confidence, create a better quality of life, and allow you to smile with confidence.

Untreated Oral Issues Will Get Worse

If you refuse or delay orthodontic treatment when Dr. Pendleton recommends it, you may run into long-term health issues that may end up costing you more.

At Pendleton Orthodontics, our team understands that teens, kids, and adults have different dental needs, so we give each age group personal care.

We'll work diligently for you to make sure you receive the most appropriate treatment at our inviting offices in Leander.

We’ve had a wonderful experience at Pendleton Orthodontics from day one. Dr. Pendleton took the time to thoroughly explain the entire process and has continued to provide exceptional care for my son throughout. Even when my son has had issues like broken brackets or wires, Dr. Pendleton is always kind, patient, and graciously squeezes us in asap to fix them. The entire team is fantastic, and the front desk receptionist is truly a breath of fresh air—always warm, positive, and welcoming. We couldn’t ask for a better orthodontic office!

Dr Pendleton has been amazing,My daughter started going through her major growth spurts during Covid and as of such there were many dental appointments that were missed. By the time that we started up regular dental visits again, she was experiencing severe crowding and was in desperate need of braces. Dr. Pendleton gave us a pretty detailed plan and breakdown of how he believed he could help my baby get her perfect smile. I was very hopeful and Ryan delivered well beyond my expectations. It was a lengthy process (all of middle school) but my kiddo is going to start her HS exp braceless.Now everything I just said has been what a person should be able to expect from a professional orthodontist. Because why go if not for the services? But here are the things that I believe make Pendleton orthodontics worth it compared to anyone else.The man himself is very personable and great with children. He’s taken the time to get to know my wife, my son, my girl (obviously) and myself. Oddly enough I actually look forward to talking to him.His staff is excellent, all of his techs are extremely proficient at their work and share a similar demeanor to the Doctor himself. Which I believe speaks highly of his own hiring practices. Not only must he value the skills that are required for the work itself but he also highly values the kind of personalities that would best mesh with a child/adolescent geared environment. I’ve been to places that don’t and when you see one vs the other, the difference is stark and the preference becomes immediately apparent.Also his welcome/intake staff are all wonderful. I’ve had to talk to them so many times over the phone navigating tricky work/school schedules. They’ve always been kind, patient and incredibly helpful. As a father with a full time career married to an exceptional woman whom also has a full time career, plus two children in sports, I can’t tell you how much I’ve appreciated this aspect.Last but not least, but still very important. The treatment plan was very affordable. My payments were reasonable and the results were worth every penny, nickel and dime.I would recommend Pendleton to anyone that needs any orthodontic work. If you’re on the fence and read this, I hope it persuades you to choose this place.Thanks to Dr. Ryan and his Team,The Dodsons

All three of my children received/are receiving orthodontic treatment from Pendleton Orthodontics. I have been thoroughly impressed with 1.) the cleanliness and pleasantness of the office environment (yes, even the bathrooms and reception area are comfortable and spotless), 2.) the professionalism of the entire staff, 3.) the respect and kindness each of the members of the staff showed all the members of my family, 4.) the professionalism and knowledgeability of Dr. Ryan Pendleton himself, 5.) the willingness of staff (and Dr. Ryan) to provide urgent appointments when my children were uncomfortable, 6.) the ease and convenience of financing options and assistance when needed, and finally and most importantly, 7.) the outcome of the treatment. My oldest child is finished and has a beautiful smile. I was so pleased with Pendleton Orthodontics that I started Invisalign Braces myself. I am finished and I am so happy with my treatment and new smile. I have recommended Pendleton to my family and friends and I feel 100% confident about giving Pendleton a 5 star rating on Google.
