Bringing Exceptional Orthodontic Care to Plano, TX

Plano is one of the largest and most vibrant cities in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, and its residents are accustomed to having access to high-caliber services. Murphy Orthodontics is proud to serve the Plano community from our conveniently located office in Murphy, just a short drive east of Plano along the FM 544 corridor. For Plano patients who want orthodontic specialist care — not just general dentistry — our practice delivers the expertise and personalized attention that makes a real difference.

Dr. Karkuri earned his specialty degree in orthodontics from New York University College of Dentistry in 2015 and became board certified in orthodontics shortly after. With over a decade of focused orthodontic experience, he brings a level of expertise that Plano families can feel confident in. From complex bite correction cases to straightforward smile refinements, every patient receives the same thorough, individualized approach.

Full Range of Orthodontic Treatments for Plano Patients

No matter your age, alignment concern, or aesthetic preferences, Murphy Orthodontics has a treatment that fits. Plano patients can choose from:

• Invisalign — Custom-designed clear aligners that move teeth gradually and discreetly. Removable for eating and cleaning, Invisalign is a preferred option for professionals and teens in Plano who want treatment that doesn’t interfere with daily life.
• Traditional Braces — The most versatile and universally effective orthodontic treatment. Modern metal braces are more streamlined and comfortable than earlier versions, making them an excellent choice for patients of all ages and complexity levels.
• Damon Braces — A self-ligating braces system engineered for efficiency. Damon braces use high-tech archwires and passive brackets to move teeth more comfortably and with fewer office visits — ideal for busy Plano patients.
• Clear Braces — Tooth-colored ceramic brackets that provide the thoroughness of traditional braces with a much more subtle look. A popular option for Plano teens and adults who want effective treatment without the metallic appearance.
• Early Treatment — Orthodontic evaluations for children by age 7 give Dr. Karkuri the chance to identify bite issues, crowding, or jaw development concerns early — often making future treatment shorter, simpler, and less costly.
• Adult Treatment — Plano is home to many working professionals and active adults who are discovering that orthodontic treatment can be both effective and unobtrusive. Straight teeth also contribute to better long-term oral health, reducing the risk of gum disease and tooth wear.
• Retention — The final phase of any successful orthodontic case. Dr. Karkuri will recommend the appropriate retainer — fixed, Hawley, or Essix — to ensure your newly aligned smile stays exactly where it belongs for years to come.

Your first consultation is completely free. Dr. Karkuri will examine your teeth and bite, review any necessary records, and walk you through a clear, honest treatment recommendation tailored specifically to you.
