Palatal Expanders: What and When are They Necessary?

We have been seeing Dr. St. Loius at Central Texas Orthodontics for a couple kids now over several years. Everytime we walk in for an appointment, we are greeted warmly and promptly taken back. The office is easy to get to and always runs on time, we have never had to wait to be seen, which is remarkable for a medical/dental office! The payment options were also fair and easy to understand. And the follow up, even after those braces come off, has been stellar! Retainers get lost or chewed up sometimes (ugg!), but a quick text into the office and we were able to drop off the original molds and have new ones made very quickly. Everyone who works at this office truly cares, and you can tell they all enjoy where they work, which is really wonderful to see. I cannot speak highly enough of this office, the staff, the care, and ESPECIALLY the after care and protecting our investment.

Dr. St. Louis and his staff are exceptional! Their professional, friendly and caring manner stand out every time I have an appointment. They are always very positive during my visits and make me feel like I’m part of their family. I never have to wait to be seen and I’m usually out in a minimal amount of time. I had my last orthodontic visit recently and they invited me to stop in anytime, just to say hello. I highly recommend Central Texas Orthodontics to anyone needing their services. They are truly the BEST!

I love this office and the lovely, happy, warm staff!! Every one of the staff is kind and friendly! The vibe of the office is uplifting, relaxing, and Austin-y. Love it. The plants make it pleasant. Everything is so clean! What a refreshing visit and thank you so much for the stellar customer service.

Dr. B. and his team are fantastic: Everyone just truly cares! They are knowledgeable and super helpful, always happy to consult. I recommend CTO not only for children and teens, but for adults as well! My two teenage daughters got their braces and I got my Invisalign. Dr. B. took his time to go over all our treatment plans and make adjustments. The communication is seamless and very responsive. All team members are wonderful - my special shoutout goes to Beatrice and Christen though: Those two lovely ladies go above and beyond with everything they do! Thanks to y’alls fabulous care our teeth are all straight now!

Dr. St. Louis and his staff were wonderful! From their friendly staff, nice office environment and Dr. St. Louis always willing to answer my questions. I would 100% recommend Central Texas Orthodontics to anyone.

I recently finished my treatment and was looking for the backup retainers. After doing my research I decided to make an appointment with Central Texas Orthodontics. I got it scheduled the same day and had my retainers ready in two weeks! Dr. St. Louis and the staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcomed and cared for. I highly recommend this office to anyone who needs a new set of retainers!

Great doctor and staff. I’ve had 2 sets of braces and misc work. Very professional, clean, and nice people. Kudos to Dr St. Louis for giving me a perfect smile. My TMJ doctor commended me on my perfect teeth alignment ! highly recommend.

We had a wonderful experience with two of our children getting their teeth straightened at this office. Love the staff-friendly and fun. And Dr. B did a fantastic job. After delays due to Covid, he personally went well out of his way to see my daughter and it was so appreciated! Thank you!

The staff here is always so pleasant. They communicate well with their patients and are always easy to consult. I've had nothing but positive experiences here at Central Texas Orthodontist. I enjoy getting to see everyone when I visit.

This is an awesome team. Always greeted with a smile and lots of positive energy. Jessica is very knowledgeable, skilled and makes you feel completely at ease thru out the entire process every visit. I look forward to my visits.

I love the whole team here! They’re super friendly and always go the extra mile to provide the best care!

Love these guys!! Best ortho in town

I really love this office and the people who work there. They really do care about their patients needs and will break everything down for you to understand.

CTO is the best!!!

Great Team

We initially went to a different doctor, who sent us to an unnecessary specialist. After a second opinion from Dr. St. Louis, we aren't even ready for braces yet! That is an example of an ethical doctor. I'm pleased that my ten year old will begin her braces with Dr. St. Louis, but not until the time is ready. He sincerely takes you in as if you are the only patient of the day. His staff is polite, articulate, and the office is spotless. I highly recommend this orthodontist to anyone in need. I trust him with my children.

Today was my first time visiting this office after they were able to come in after speaking with me the day prior. Note, most offices do not have next day availability for non-emergent care. First, Beatrice! She made me feel welcomed, important and she was willing to take the time with me from the moment I walked into the door! Beatrice doesn’t only belong in the customer service/patient setting, but she specializes in caring for patients and it shows outwardly and genuinely! Second, the Man with the Plan, Dr. Lewis. He is considerate, professional, and demonstrates patience and concern for his patients as well. He answered my questions, and not once did he make me feel like “he had better things to do” or “he had more patients to see”. His tone and cadence sets the tone in this office, and everyone of the staff enjoy being at work! They love what they do, and offices like this one are hard to find! They are an office that should be modeled by many! I’ll be back, and I’ll definitely refer them to those seeking unique, honest, professional, and personalized care! Great job to the entire office -keep it up! Sincerely, Your new number one fan!

CTO has the nicest staff and one of the most well run businesses in Austin. We have had a great experience all around, awesome people, straightforward pricing and great results!

Best orthopedic office in Austin.

Dr. St. Louis and staff are phenomenal. They always go above and beyond to ensure that you are happy and do their best to ensure in answering all questions. I have been a patient 2 1/2 years and would not think of going elsewhere. Availability for scheduling is very accommodating for work and school schedules. Sweetest office staff ever and one I will continue to refer friends and family. Thank you all for your patience ....
