Invisalign
Invisalign straightens teeth and corrects bites using removable, clear aligners. Ideal for adults and teens seeking discreet treatment, it offers comfort and convenience without traditional brackets. Our team ensures precise, personalized results through advanced digital planning.
Traditional Braces
Traditional braces use metal brackets and wires to effectively align teeth and correct bite issues. Suitable for all ages, they provide reliable results for complex orthodontic cases. We offer same-day placement for immediate treatment starts.
Quick Braces
Quick Braces achieve results in 6-9 months by focusing on front teeth aesthetics. This technique reduces treatment time compared to traditional methods. Its ideal for adults seeking rapid, cost-effective smile improvements without compromising quality.
TMJ/TMD Therapy
TMJ/TMD therapy addresses jaw pain and dysfunction through customized orthodontic solutions. We use advanced diagnostics to create treatment plans that alleviate discomfort and improve jaw alignment, enhancing overall oral health and function.

I consulted with a dozen orthodontists in Houston and NYC over the last two decades, and I finally felt comfortable with Dr. Karotkin and his team. They listened to my concerns and goals, mocked up my potential progression, gave me lots of options, gave me the hard facts about what was and wasn't possible, and even asked my wife to attend consultation. Two and a half years later, my braces are off today and I am blown away by the results!
I haven't had jaw pain in 18 months (my primary goal), but I am super impressed at what Dr. K was able to accomplish after decades of neglect haha. I have to remember not to hide my smile anymore! On top of the amazing results and partnership in health, my visits were always easy to schedule and started on-time, featuring a busy but friendly team, with an amazing soundtrack.
10/10 recommend! Especially if you're on the fence as a non-teenager.. I've seen lots of adult patients come through. You owe it to yourself!

Need an orthodontist that takes his time to study your case and knows what's possible, while doing an amazing job? Look no further Dr. John Karotkin knows and makes you feel comfortable during the whole process. He's witty & wicked SMAHT! (As we Bostonians) say it. I have enjoyed being a patient and will miss our monthly appointments. The staff is amazing , wicked cool ! They know what they're doing. Very organized office. I've been in dentistry for the last 29 years and I'm super impressed with this office. Great job guys, continue to be Awesome!

Staff was incredibly helpful and Dr. Karotkin was able to provide excellent advice about my need for orthodontic care. I had previously seen another orthodontist who only offered an invasive method to straightening my teeth. After the initial consult with Dr. Karotkin, he offered options that did not include invasive measures. I will always recommend advanced orthodontics to anyone that needs orthodontic treatment.

As an adult who needs braces, it is important to have a caring, knowledgeable, and professional staff. I am so happy that I chose Advance Orthodontics for my braces. If you need orthodontic treatment, this is definitely the best place to go.

Dr Karotkin and staff is the number one orthodontist office in the city of Houston. For my daughter's last orthodontist appointment, Dr Karotkin and staff made an exception and saw my daughter on a day reserved for new patients only, due to my daughter is currently attending college. I have nothing but positive things to say about Dr Karotkin and his entire professional staff. Everyone has been extremely helpful and thoughtful and I will tell others how wonderful and personable the entire staff is.

Fantastic and fabulous! I and absolutely enthralled at how great a job everyone did at advanced orthodontics. I had gone to visit three other orthodontics before doing a consultation here. The others were too cold on manner, rude, too busy to pay attention or care, or too eager to separate me from my money. When I stepped into this office though, I felt warmed and welcome. Dr. Karotkin was friendly and informative.
Unfortunately they did not take my insurance, but it didn't matter to me. The difference in customer service and the result was completely worth the price difference and the drive. Janie, Freddy, Judy, Juanita and everyone handle your teeth with care, and have nothing but smiles to offer you when they greet you. I hated my teeth for 27 years, but now I will be loving them for many years to come. Thank Dr. Karotkin and everyone at Advanced Orthodontics. You have made this girl one happy smiling bartender.
