Your Expert Woodlands & Montgomery Orthodontist
Kendra C. Pratt Manning, DDS, MS, is one of only a handful of Board-Certified orthodontists in The Woodlands. Dr. Manning completed her Bachelor of Arts degree in biology at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, TX. She then attended the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio for her Doctorate of Dental Surgery and the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston for her Master of Science degree.
Dr. Manning graduated Valedictorian of the dental school with a 4.0 GPA and was inducted into two prestigious dental societies upon graduation—Omicron Kappa Upsilon Dental Honor Society and Alpha Omega, which honors less than one percent of dental students nationwide.
Dr. Manning continued her excellence in education at the University of Texas Dental Branch at Houston, where she was the Chief Resident her first year and worked hard to author a published article in the American Dental Journal while earning her Master of Science degree in Orthodontics. She scored in the top two percent in the nation on her written exam for Board Certification. Shortly thereafter, Dr. Manning began her path to full Diplomat status through the American Board of Orthodontics.
The Woodlands & Montgomery Braces
Braces in The Woodlands and Montgomery are an excellent choice for correcting complex tooth issues. Since they can sometimes work faster at aligning teeth and closing gaps than other treatments, overall treatment time may be slightly reduced.
Braces don’t require some of the more complex technology or expensive equipment that newer treatments can, meaning braces in The Woodlands and Montgomery are a cost-effective orthodontic option.
Traditional metal braces are one of the most efficient orthodontic tools we have. They’re made out of metal or ceramic brackets that are affixed to the teeth and then connected by wires and tiny rubber bands or elastics.
These brackets, wires, and bands work together to apply the gentle pressure that will gradually move the teeth into the positions we want them to be in as long as you have regular adjustments with Dr. Manning.
The Woodlands & Montgomery Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are incredibly popular with patients and orthodontists in The Woodlands and Montgomery and are the top alternative to traditional braces. Instead of brackets and bands, the clear aligners system uses a series of clear, removable aligners to straighten your teeth.
Clear aligners are made of a comfortable plastic material and customized to fit snugly over your teeth. To keep your teeth moving in the direction you want, you’ll need to switch your invisible trays out for the next one in the series every one to two weeks as directed by Dr. Manning.
The Invisalign system can only work if the recommended guidelines are followed exactly! Aligners should be worn 20 – 22 hours per day throughout treatment. If patients neglect to wear the aligners as directed, it can impede the results and add time to the orthodontic process.
Clear aligners are most efficient when correcting many of the most common orthodontic issues. For some complex cases, clear aligners may not be a good option. A free consultation with Dr. Manning in The Woodlands or Montgomery will allow us to determine your eligibility for clear aligners.
