Considering adult orthodontics in New Braunfels? Embrace Orthodontics offers braces, Invisalign® clear aligners, and surgical orthodontics for New Braunfels adults and families. Dr. Dima Kalakech is a board-certified orthodontist located right off I-35 in Cibolo, with a 5.0-star Google rating from more than 1,000 patients.
New Braunfels has no shortage of orthodontic offices, so why do adults from Gruene to Landa Park make the short I-35 trip to see Dr. K? Some commute past our door every workday and like the convenience. Some want a second set of specialist eyes on a treatment plan before committing. And some are looking for a particular combination that’s hard to find in one practice: a board certified orthodontist, Gold-tier Invisalign experience, surgical orthodontics capability, and a five-star record more than a thousand patients deep. Whatever brings you down the interstate, we’ll make the drive worth it.
About one in four orthodontic patients today is an adult, and adult cases are where treatment planning really matters: past dental work, gum health, and jaw alignment all shape the plan. As a specialist in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics, Dr. K builds adult treatment plans around your mouth’s real history, not a one-size template.
Our office sits at 791 FM 1103, Suite 113 in Cibolo, one exit chain south of New Braunfels on I-35. From downtown NB, it’s a straightforward drive down the interstate to the FM 1103 exit. Many of our New Braunfels patients schedule on the way to or from work in the metro, and Friday morning appointments are popular for making orthodontics fit a commuter’s week.
