Cutting-Edge Braces Technology is Here
Braces remain a time-tested approach to creating amazing, healthy smiles, but there have also been breakthroughs in braces technology in recent years. That’s why we spend countless hours every year learning and refining our techniques to give our patients the most comfortable braces, with results in the shortest time possible. The technical term for what we do is “indirect bonding,” and while there’s a lot of very sophisticated technology at work, the biggest benefit is that we can place brackets with more precision, shorten your time in our chair, and potentially deliver your dream smile in significantly less time — especially when paired with our no-extra-cost remote care option.
Damon Braces
Damon braces are a popular alternative to traditional metal braces. These braces use “self-ligating” technology, which means there’s no need for elastic ties. Damon braces gently shift teeth into the desired position and are often more comfortable—and sometimes work faster—than traditional braces.

Dr. Farrah ,Has been trying to get my teeth as straight as she could.She was patient with me and her colleagues and team.Thank you for your time working with me. . I started with Invisilyns then received braces . I am very pleased with the entire process.Thank you allNancy Robinson
We have been coming to Dr. Farrah since 2021 and we absolutely love it! My husband said “it’s like if a nail salon was an orthodontist office”. They are big on customer appreciation and community involvement and philanthropy. They have frozen treats for the kiddos and a coffee station for the parents. They have snacks and a tooth brushing station which is super nice for when you are bringing a kid in the middle of the school day. The people are also amazing, I love the front desk staff and all the techs, too! All three of my kids have braces, I can’t imagine going anywhere else.
Our kids have been getting treatment at this wonderful office. Everyone is amazing, they make you feel very welcome from beginning to end. We have met both Doctors and they are great. Special shout out goes to HEATHER, she goes above and beyond by remembering little details about each kid. Highly recommend this place for braces 😬
Very professional. Made my daughter feel really comfortable about getting braces. Would definitely recommend.
When I started going to Dr. Farrah’s I was skeptical after a failed attempt with Invisalign to fix my bite. They heard my concerns and provided me options to make my smile healthier. I’ve been in braces for 12 months and have seen progress in my bite. Six months and I’ll graduate to retainers at night. Not only did they help me, they’ve cared for my children in getting a healthier smile. The facility is family friendly and staff are nice.. don’t drink the water though, you just might catch the pregnancy bug LOL. Thanks for all you do!

Frequently Asked Questions
What foods should I avoid while I have braces?
There is really only a small list of foods to avoid while wearing braces. This is to avoid damaging the brackets or to prevent food particles from becoming trapped between the brackets and wires. Foods to avoid include:
- Chewy foods such as fruit leathers, beef jerky, or bagels
- Highly crunchy foods like raw carrots, chips, raw celery, and popcorn
- Sticky foods like caramel candy, licorice, and marshmallows
- Very hard foods like hard candy, hard breadsticks, or pizza crust
- Any food you have to bite into such as apples or corn on the cob (You can still enjoy these foods by slicing the apples or removing the corn from the cob!)
How do I brush my teeth with braces?
- Before brushing, do a quick rinse with water. This will dislodge any food particles stuck between the wires or brackets.
- Brush beginning at the gum line, using a 45-degree angle of approach. As you move towards the brackets, brush from both the top and the bottom, ensuring that the bristles reach under the wires and around the brackets. This process may take some extra time in the beginning, but once you are used to it, it will be routine for you.
- Follow up with thorough flossing. You will need to use precise and careful flossing techniques to make sure you do not dislodge or loosen the brackets or wires. Your doctor will help you perfect your flossing technique during your appointment.
Are braces painful? How do I ease the pain?
Generally, braces are not painful. However, you may feel a little sore or uncomfortable immediately after you first get them. This soreness is normal, and it will not last long.
A saltwater rinse can help relieve the soreness and inflammation. Dissolve a single teaspoon of salt in a full cup of lukewarm water and swish around your mouth for a few minutes. If soreness persists, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever such as ibuprofen or Tylenol. If you experience lip, cheek, or tongue irritation in the weeks after getting braces, some wax can alleviate the problem quickly.
How long will I have to have braces?
The amount of time that you will need to wear braces varies and depends on several things (such as the severity of your bite problem). Most patients need to wear braces for 12 to 24 months, but this can be shorter or longer depending on your case. We’ll discuss this with you and give you a general idea of what you can expect.
After several months of wearing braces, we can measure progress more easily, and we can more accurately update you regarding how much longer you can expect to wear braces.
Can I get braces that are less noticeable?
The most popular option for less noticeable orthodontic treatment is clear Invisalign® aligners. Comfortable and discreet, clear aligners are an effective way to treat complex cases for teens and adults. The best part? They are covered by most insurance plans and the overall cost is comparable to traditional braces!
How much do braces cost in Pflugerville?
The cost of braces depends on which type of braces you choose, how long you will need treatment, and other factors unique to your case. Dr. Farrah Ortho offers payment plans that can work with your budget and get you the orthodontic care you need.
