About Houston Orthodontics
Dr. Mauricio Arguello and his team are noted for recommending against unnecessary treatment, including declining braces for a child who didn't need them yet.
Reviews at Houston Orthodontics often highlight a conservative, function-first approach: the orthodontist is described as prioritizing honesty over selling treatment, proposing plans that avoided jaw surgery, and personally handling the work rather than delegating to technicians. Early treatment evaluations for young children come up more here than typical, along with cost and insurance handling that several reviews describe as fair, including contracted insurance rates and no charge for a broken bracket repair. A number of patients who transferred mid-treatment from other offices also mention good outcomes here. Staff are described as attentive and the office as clean and well-equipped.

I had a great experience at this dental office from start to finish. The entire staff was welcoming, professional, and made me feel comfortable throughout my visit. I recently came in to get a custom night guard, and the process was smooth and well explained. Dr. Younis and his colleagues were incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and took the time to answer all of my questions. They made sure the night guard fit properly and explained how to care for it, which I really appreciated. I highly recommend this office to anyone looking for a friendly, professional, and trustworthy dental team. I’ll definitely be returning for my future dental care!

Dr. Younis and the entire team have been absolutely wonderful throughout my orthodontic treatment. From the first consultation to every follow-up visit, everyone has been friendly, professional, and genuinely caring. They always take the time to explain everything clearly and make each appointment comfortable and stress-free. The office is clean, well-organized, and runs on time. I’m so happy with my progress and can’t wait to see my final results. I highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for exceptional orthodontic care!
