Meet Dr. Basma Fallah
North Richland Hills & Hurst Area Specialist in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics
Dr. Basma Fallah understands that patients can have different perceptions of orthodontic work. For some, the idea of beginning treatment is stressful due to their perceptions of what it will involve and how it will impact their daily life. What her practice offers is personalized care for people in different life stages and different needs from treatment.
You can be surprised at how easily an adjustment can fit into your daily life, or how easy it is to begin treatment for your child. What can also surprise you is how corrective work goes beyond making cosmetic changes to offer health and quality of life improvements. Correcting malocclusion protects teeth, reduces jaw pain and stiffness, and can help with oral hygiene. For children and teens who exhibit signs of poor breathing and disrupted sleep, our services can take on airway interference and improve the quality and duration of their nightly rest!
