Breathe Easy
Dr. Ragan doesn’t just put braces on your teeth—he focuses on your overall well-being. That means he looks for proper jaw alignment, TMJ issues, and airway obstructions.
Focused on Airways
Dr. Ragan believes your airway health, aesthetics, and trauma prevention is essential to your orthodontic treatment.
Whole Health Care
We can refer you to specialists like ENTs, allergists, and speech pathologists so you can find the help you need.
Lifelong Support
Whether the patient is 5 years old or 90, we provide airway orthodontics to make sure everyone gets the care they deserve.

Kids and Early Treatment
The AAO and Dr. Ragan recommend a first orthodontic check around age 7. Most kids just get a growth-watch plan; some benefit from Phase 1 care like an expander. Learn about early orthodontic treatment and kids orthodontics in Dallas.
Airway-Focused Care
Dr. Ragan checks jaw growth, mouth breathing and sleep habits along with straight teeth, and works with ENTs, allergists and speech pathologists when needed. See airway orthodontics in Dallas.
Parent FAQ
When should my child first see an orthodontist?
Around age 7. No referral needed, and the first consult is free.
Does my child need treatment at 7?
Usually not. Most kids are monitored until more permanent teeth arrive.
Braces or Invisalign for kids?
Both work. Dr. Ragan recommends based on age, bite and how consistently your child will wear aligners.
Which office should we use?
Either. Same doctor, same care. Pick the one closest to home or school.

Fabulous!
Dr Ragan and his team are fabulous! They are prompt, efficient, intelligent, informative, and so so nice! We have never waited more than 5 minutes in the waiting room. They are respectful of your time but will answer all of your questions promptly and fully. I have recommended friends and will continue to do so.

We have been really pleased with Ragan Orthodontics. Will be bringing our younger kiddo in to start his braces soon. Dr and staff are wonderful!!
- Sloane G.
Highly Recommend.
Our friends that go other places have lots of appointments that are unneeded, but we have a handy app where we can send scans and only go when it’s necessary. Saves us a lot of time and missing school.
