As we enter a new year, many of us reflect on ways to prioritize health and wellness in our lives. At Lake Travis Orthodontics, Dr. Alberto Tostado and his team are dedicated to supporting healthier, more confident smiles while celebrating the local community they serve year-round. They take immense pride in supporting their patients’ achievements.
"Whether it’s sponsoring local schools, sports teams, academic groups, or other extracurricular activities, we’re honored to play a role in fostering opportunities for growth and success," Dr. Tostado shares. "At Lake Travis Orthodontics, community isn’t just where we work—it’s where we live," he continues.
Lake Travis Orthodontics takes a conservative approach to orthodontic care, ensuring that each patient receives personalized treatment focusing on preserving natural dental development. For younger patients, this begins with early monitoring of dental growth using advanced imaging technology. Dr. Tostado explains, "Through advanced imaging technology, we can track changes in jaw development and tooth alignment, ensuring we intervene only when absolutely necessary." This proactive approach often makes a significant difference in achieving optimal outcomes while preserving the patient’s natural anatomy. By guiding natural growth patterns, they reduce the likelihood of future complications or the need for extractions.
When treatment is necessary, Lake Travis Orthodontics uses self-ligating braces, a modern and effective alternative to traditional braces. These braces reduce friction and allow teeth to move more naturally, which increases the likelihood of successful non-extraction treatments. Dr. Tostado highlights, "In many cases, early observation allows us to guide natural growth patterns, reducing the likelihood of future complications or the need for extractions." Combined with individualized care and cutting-edge technology, this approach ensures that patients leave with healthier, long-lasting smiles.
For 2025, the practice is introducing state-of-the-art aligner systems for patients of all ages. These customized aligners provide a precise fit, making orthodontic care more convenient for busy families and professionals. Reflecting on the benefits, Dr. Tostado shares, "Patients enjoy fewer total appointments and longer intervals between visits, making orthodontic care more accessible for busy families and professionals." For mild orthodontic concerns, their in-house LT Ortho aligner system offers an affordable solution using advanced 3D scanning and custom manufacturing.
Orthodontic care at Lake Travis Orthodontics offers more than just aesthetic benefits. Properly aligned teeth improve oral hygiene by making brushing and flossing more effective, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease. Dr. Tostado emphasizes, "Properly aligned teeth make oral hygiene significantly easier," highlighting how orthodontics can positively impact overall health and well-being. Beyond oral hygiene, orthodontic care can address bite issues, improving chewing, speech, and even breathing. In some cases, correcting airway function can lead to better sleep and overall improved health outcomes.
