Potential patients may schedule screening/examination appointments by calling 214-828-8121 or by filling out an online form. More information about the process is available here.

 “The dental college accepts about 250 patients each year for orthodontic treatment,” said Dr. Gayle Glenn, clinical associate professor in the Department of Orthodontics. “Spots fill quickly, so please act fast. We offer traditional braces for children and adults, plus clear aligners like Invisalign for patients who are candidates for that type of treatment.” 

To qualify for screening, prospective patients must:

 Be at least 7 years old

• Have good oral hygiene habits
• Receive professional dental care on a routine basis
• Be able to commit to monthly orthodontic appointments scheduled during regular business hours

 Candidates from throughout Dallas-Fort Worth and the surrounding areas are welcome to apply.

 Once accepted into the orthodontic program, patients must be seen at regular four- to six-week intervals. Appointments are generally one to two hours long. Payment plans are available.

 The orthodontic clinic has been providing quality orthodontic care at affordable fees for more than 60 years. The dental college is accessible via Dallas Area Rapid Transit’s Green Line/Baylor University Medical Center Station.
