Orthodontic Services We Offer

Braces

Braces are the most common form of orthodontic treatment. During this process, metal brackets are affixed to each tooth and connected by an archwire. This allows us to adjust each tooth individually and create the desired alignment and bite results.

Invisalign

These custom-made trays fit snugly over your teeth and gradually move them into proper alignment without interfering with your lifestyle or appearance. Unlike braces, these aligners can be removed when necessary so you can still enjoy all your favorite foods without worrying about getting stuck in the brackets.

Early Intervention

Early intervention is an important part of orthodontics for children as it allows us to identify potential issues before they become more serious (and costly). We offer comprehensive exams that allow us to diagnose problems such as overcrowding or misalignment early on so we can begin treatment as soon as possible to achieve optimal results.

Correcting Bad Habits

We also specialize in helping correct bad habits such as thumb sucking or tongue thrusting, which can cause long-term damage if left untreated.

Braces In Amarillo, TX

Braces In Amarillo, TX

Braces in Amarillo, TX, are available to everyone in need with Sparkman Orthodontics. You can rest assured that you’ll be able to find the right treatment for your individual needs, whether it’s traditional metal braces, ceramic braces, or DamonⓇ braces. There are several reasons why someone may need braces beyond aesthetics. Teeth that are not aligned correctly can lead to jaw joint pain, a common reason for adults getting braces.

If the top and bottom teeth do not align properly, it can also cause difficulty with chewing food and speech impediments. Additionally, crooked teeth increase the risk of tooth decay and gum disease, making brushing and flossing difficult. So if you’re looking for a dependable orthodontic treatment in Amarillo, TX, look no further than Sparkman Orthodontics.

Types Of Braces We Provide

We have three distinct orthodontic options for you to choose from so that you can have the perfect smile you’ve always wanted.

  • Our metal braces utilize stainless steel brackets connected with wires to move your teeth into the correct positions gradually.
  • Clear braces are perfect for those wanting an aesthetically pleasing and discreet option since they are clear and blend in with your natural teeth color.
  • We also offer Damon System Braces – these virtually invisible self-ligating brackets gently move teeth into their ideal position without relying on needed tight elastics or colored ties for tension.

With our team of experienced orthodontists, find the perfect brace solution for you here at Sparkman Orthodontics!

Our 5-Star Experience

We’re thankful for the opportunity to serve our community by making them smile every day. Hear what our patients are saying about their experience with us!

Rachel H.
Amazing staff! Everyone is always friendly and professional and I love that they set you up with the whole plan and payments from the beginning so no surprises. They explain everything before they do it and that helped a lot with my kiddos anxiety too. Love them all! Highly recommend!
Mags A.
Love Sparkman Orthodontics! From the start, they made the process of getting Invisalign for my 11 year old son worry-free. I was concerned about having to work in multiple appointments over the course of the treatment, but fortunately, we are able to do our scans from home! Communication was quick and we've just moved to our last aligner for this phase of treatment and his teeth look great! Highly recommend.
Jacqueline M.
The whole staff is super nice, and they all made my son feel as comfortable as possible. By far this has been the place with most patience for him. They always make sure he knows exactly what to expect.
Suzy Q
Being a busy mom of four children and working full time appointments are hard to make. Sparkman orthodontics offers a scan at home which has been amazing! Super easy process to getting a straight and beautiful smile!!

Sarah N.
5 stars! My daughter just got her braces off after 18ish months and her teeth are absolutely perfect. The doctors and all of the staff are very prompt & kind. Every appointment was quick & painless. I highly recommend Sparkman to anyone looking for help with their smile.
Rachel W.
Sparkman Orthodontics has a very friendly staff and care about their patients. Their doctors are fantastic! I highly recommend them as an orthodontist.
Daniel S.
Dr. Sparkman recommended my 9 year old son to get Invisalign and I was skeptical at first. But it has been great! My son is way more responsible with them than I thought he’d be and we haven’t had to come into the office for broken brackets or other problems you’d have with normal braces. I definitely recommend Dr. Sparkman and his staff for all your braces needs!
Whitney G.
We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Sparkman Orthodontics! From the very beginning, everyone has been incredibly kind, patient, and welcoming. They always take the time to explain everything in a way that both I and my 8-year-old can understand, which has made the whole process so much easier and less intimidating.

We decided on Invisalign for her phase one treatment, and it’s been such a great decision for our family. Not only has it saved us from unexpected office visits for emergencies, but it also fit so well into our busy routine. The team was so thoughtful in helping us decide if Invisalign was the right choice, and we’ve felt supported every step of the way.

Now that she’s finishing up phase one, her smile looks absolutely beautiful - and seeing her confidence grow has been the best part of all. We are so grateful for the care and attention Sparkman Orthodontics has given our family!
Mary L.
Sparkman Orthodontics is absolutely amazing. I brought my daughter here, and we were met with a phenomenal team of workers. Everyone from the receptionist to the doctors were friendly and professional. Thank you! We highly recommend Sparkman Orthodontics!

Frequently Asked Questions
Are orthodontist open in Scotland?
Most orthodontist practices in Scotland are currently open, providing essential dental and orthodontic care. However, appointment availability and procedures may be limited due to COVID-19 safety protocols. Patients should contact their local orthodontist office directly to confirm hours, services, and any special requirements for visits.
Are orthodontist ad pictures photoshopped?
Orthodontist ad pictures are often edited or enhanced to some degree. While some images may show real patients' results, many use professional models with already-perfect smiles. Digital touch-ups are common to whiten teeth, smooth skin, and create an idealized appearance that may not fully represent typical treatment outcomes.
Are any orthodontists in Myrtle Beach area using Myobrace?
Several orthodontists in the Myrtle Beach area offer Myobrace treatment. This non-invasive orthodontic system focuses on correcting poor oral habits in children. Patients interested in Myobrace should consult local orthodontic practices to find providers experienced with this technique and determine if it's appropriate for their needs.
Are orthodontist in South Bend open on weekends?
Some orthodontists in South Bend may offer limited weekend hours, typically on Saturday mornings, to accommodate patients with busy schedules. However, availability varies by practice, so it's best to check with specific orthodontic offices directly for their weekend hours and appointment options.
Are orthodontists and dentists the same?
Orthodontists and dentists are not the same, though both are dental professionals. Dentists provide general oral care, while orthodontists specialize in correcting teeth alignment and bite issues. Orthodontists complete additional years of specialized training after dental school to focus on orthodontic treatments like braces and aligners.
Are orthodontists closed in Ontario?
Orthodontists in Ontario are currently open and providing services. However, they may have modified procedures and safety protocols in place due to COVID-19. It's best to contact your specific orthodontist's office to confirm their current hours, availability, and any special requirements for appointments.
Are braces done by an orthodontist?
Yes, braces are typically applied and managed by orthodontists. These dental specialists have additional training beyond general dentistry to diagnose, prevent, and treat misalignments of the teeth and jaw. Orthodontists are experts in various orthodontic treatments, including traditional braces, clear aligners, and other corrective appliances.
Are orthodontists open on weekends?
Many orthodontists offer weekend hours, but availability varies by practice. Some may open on Saturdays for limited hours or by appointment only. It's best to check with specific orthodontic offices in your area to determine their weekend scheduling options and accommodate your needs.
Are orthodontist still open?
Many orthodontist offices remain open, operating with enhanced safety protocols. However, availability may vary by location and current health guidelines. It's best to contact your specific orthodontist to confirm their hours and any appointment procedures during this time.
Are orthodontists covered by insurance?
Orthodontic coverage varies by insurance plan. Many dental insurance policies include some orthodontic benefits, especially for children under 18. However, coverage may be limited and typically doesn't cover the full cost of treatment. Adults may have less coverage or none at all. It's best to check with your specific insurance provider for details.
Are dentists and orthodontists the same thing?
Dentists and orthodontists are not the same, though they both work on oral health. Dentists focus on general dental care, while orthodontists specialize in correcting teeth and jaw alignment issues. Orthodontists complete additional training beyond dental school to become experts in straightening teeth and improving bite function.
Are orthodontists happy?
Most orthodontists report high job satisfaction due to helping patients achieve healthier, more confident smiles. The profession offers a good work-life balance, intellectual challenges, and strong earning potential. However, stress from managing a practice and keeping up with new technologies can impact happiness for some orthodontists.
Are all orthodontists the same?
No, all orthodontists are not the same. While they share similar education and training, orthodontists can differ in experience, specialties, treatment approaches, and technology used. Some may focus on specific age groups or offer unique services like Invisalign. Choosing the right orthodontist involves considering their expertise and your individual needs.
Are orthodontists doctors?
Yes, orthodontists are doctors. They complete dental school to become dentists, then undergo additional specialized training in orthodontics. This advanced education qualifies them to diagnose, prevent, and treat dental and facial irregularities, making them experts in aligning teeth and jaws.
Are dentists competing with orthodontists?
Dentists and orthodontists serve complementary roles in oral health care. While dentists provide general dental services, orthodontists specialize in correcting teeth and jaw alignment. Some dentists offer basic orthodontic treatments, but complex cases are typically referred to orthodontists, fostering collaboration rather than direct competition between the two professions.
Are orthodontist surgeons?
Orthodontists are not surgeons. While both are dental specialists, orthodontists focus on diagnosing and correcting misaligned teeth and jaws using braces, aligners, and other appliances. They do not perform surgical procedures like oral surgeons do. Orthodontists complete additional training after dental school to specialize in orthodontics.
Are dentists and orthodontist doctors?
Dentists and orthodontists are both doctors, but in different specialties. Dentists earn a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) or Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree, focusing on general oral health. Orthodontists complete additional training after dental school to specialize in correcting tooth and jaw alignment issues.
Are orthodontists required to launder staff uniforms?
Orthodontists are generally not required to launder staff uniforms. Most practices consider uniforms to be the responsibility of individual employees to clean and maintain. However, some offices may provide laundering services or reimbursement as an employee benefit, though this is not standard practice in the orthodontic field.
Are orthodontist closed in Ontario?
Orthodontist offices in Ontario are generally open, operating under enhanced safety protocols due to COVID-19. However, availability may vary by location and current public health guidelines. Patients should contact their orthodontist directly to confirm hours, appointment procedures, and any restrictions in place.
Are most orthodontists satisfied with their job?
Most orthodontists report high job satisfaction due to the rewarding nature of improving patients' smiles and oral health. The profession offers a good work-life balance, intellectual challenges, and strong earning potential. However, stress from managing a practice and keeping up with new technologies can impact satisfaction for some.
Are dentists and orthodontists the same?
Dentists and orthodontists are not the same, though both are dental professionals. Dentists focus on general oral health, treating issues like cavities and gum disease. Orthodontists specialize in correcting teeth and jaw alignment, primarily through braces and other orthodontic appliances. Orthodontists complete additional training beyond dental school to gain their specialized expertise.
Are DMDs orthodontists?
DMDs (Doctors of Dental Medicine) are not automatically orthodontists. While all orthodontists are dentists, not all dentists are orthodontists. Orthodontists complete additional specialized training beyond dental school to focus specifically on diagnosing, preventing, and treating dental and facial irregularities.
Are a dentist and orthodontist the same thing?
Dentists and orthodontists are not the same, though both are dental professionals. Dentists focus on general oral health, while orthodontists specialize in correcting teeth and jaw alignment issues. Orthodontists complete additional years of training beyond dental school to become experts in straightening teeth and improving bites.
Are orthodontists buying dry heat autoclaves?
Some orthodontists are purchasing dry heat autoclaves for sterilizing instruments and equipment. These devices use high temperatures without moisture to kill microorganisms. Dry heat autoclaves can be effective for certain materials, but many orthodontists still prefer traditional steam autoclaves for their speed and versatility in sterilizing various dental tools.
Are orthodontists also dentists?
Yes, orthodontists are dentists who specialize in diagnosing, preventing, and treating dental and facial irregularities. They complete additional years of specialized training beyond dental school to focus on straightening teeth, correcting bites, and aligning jaws using braces, clear aligners, and other orthodontic appliances.
Are orthodontist open in Illinois?
Most orthodontist offices in Illinois are open, operating with safety protocols in place. However, availability may vary by location and current health guidelines. It's best to contact specific orthodontist offices directly to confirm their hours and appointment procedures.
Are all orthodontists scum?
No, orthodontists are not scum. They are highly trained dental specialists who help people improve their oral health and smile aesthetics. Like any profession, there may be individual exceptions, but most orthodontists are dedicated professionals working to enhance patients' dental well-being and confidence.
Are orthodontist consultations free?
Many orthodontists offer free initial consultations to evaluate a patient's needs and discuss treatment options. During these appointments, the orthodontist typically examines the teeth and bite, takes X-rays if needed, and provides an overview of potential treatment plans and costs. However, policies vary between practices, so it's best to confirm beforehand.
Are orthodontist covered by health insurance?
Orthodontic coverage varies by insurance plan. Some health insurance policies include orthodontic benefits, while others don't. Dental insurance often covers a portion of orthodontic treatment, typically with annual maximums and age restrictions. Check your specific policy details or contact your insurance provider for exact coverage information.
Are maxillofacial surgeons orthodontists?
Maxillofacial surgeons and orthodontists are distinct dental specialists. While both treat issues related to the mouth and jaw, maxillofacial surgeons focus on surgical procedures, while orthodontists specialize in correcting teeth and jaw alignment using braces and other devices. Some orthodontists may pursue additional training in maxillofacial surgery, but they are separate specialties.
Are dentists in cahoots with orthodontists?
Dentists and orthodontists are separate but complementary dental professionals who often work together to provide comprehensive oral health care. While they may refer patients to each other, there is no widespread conspiracy or collusion between the two fields. Both aim to promote optimal dental health and proper tooth alignment for patients.
Are orthodontists rich?
Orthodontists can earn high incomes, but wealth varies. Factors like location, practice size, and experience impact earnings. While many orthodontists enjoy comfortable lifestyles, not all are necessarily "rich." Success depends on skills, business acumen, and market demand for orthodontic services.
Are orthodontists in demand?
Orthodontists remain in high demand due to growing awareness of dental health and aesthetics. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects 5% job growth for orthodontists through 2031, driven by an aging population, increased access to orthodontic care, and technological advancements in treatment options.
Are orthodontists closed?
Orthodontist offices are typically open during regular business hours, but hours may vary by location. Many practices offer extended or weekend hours to accommodate patients. During the COVID-19 pandemic, some offices temporarily closed or reduced hours, but most have since reopened with safety protocols in place.
Are all orthodontists on Southshore the same cost?
Orthodontist costs on Southshore can vary significantly. Factors influencing price include treatment complexity, experience level, office location, and technology used. It's advisable to consult multiple orthodontists, compare treatment plans and fees, and consider insurance coverage before making a decision.
Are orthodontists covered by FSA?
Orthodontic treatments are typically covered by Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs). This includes expenses for braces, aligners, and other orthodontic procedures. However, it's important to check with your specific FSA plan administrator to confirm coverage details and any restrictions or limitations that may apply.
