Dr. David Bright is a board-certified orthodontist with 20 years of experience helping patients in Katy, TX achieve healthy, beautiful smiles. He earned his DDS from the University of Texas Health Science Center of Dentistry in Houston and completed a two-year orthodontic residency with advanced training. Dr. Bright offers a full range of treatment options, including Invisalign clear aligners, self-ligating braces, traditional metal braces, and specialized care for sleep apnea and impacted teeth. His passion for orthodontics comes from his own experience—he didn't have the perfect smile growing up, which inspired him to become a specialist dedicated to changing patients' lives.
