We're in network with every insurance plan, and we make the drive from Carthage worth it.
Many families from Carthage, Beckville, Timpson and Tenaha make the drive to Mack & Hansen Orthodontics in Longview for braces and Invisalign. We're about 46 minutes from Carthage High School, almost all of it on TX-149, at 1405 Judson Rd, and we plan treatment so you make that trip as few times as possible.
Why Carthage families make the drive
- In network with every insurance plan. We also take FSA and HSA funds and CareCredit, and payment plans start as low as $125 a month.
- One trip to get started. Your free consult includes 3D scans and x-rays. If you're ready, we can put braces on or scan for Invisalign the same day, so you don't drive back for a second appointment. Braces go on in about 10 minutes.
- Fewer trips after that. Braces visits are about every 8 to 10 weeks. Invisalign gives you even more flexibility, with check-ins about every 16 to 24 weeks.
- Open on Fridays. We see patients Monday through Thursday 8 to 5 and Friday 8 to 1:30, and we're the only orthodontic office in the area that's open on Fridays.
- A one-of-a-kind experience. See why families give us a 5.0 rating on 850+ Google reviews.
What sets Mack & Hansen apart
- A "concierge" experience. Our office is designed around your busy life, with appointments before and after school and on Fridays. With our Patient Hub app you can schedule and reschedule, message our team, make payments, and print school excuses and HSA/FSA receipts from your phone.
- Award-winning care. Voted the Longview News-Journal's Best Orthodontist and Best Orthodontic Office in East Texas five years in a row, with more than 850 five-star Google reviews. Dr. Mack has twice been voted the dental winner of ETX View Magazine's 40 Under 40.
- A state-of-the-art, fully digital office. Multiple 3D smile scanners and in-office 3D printing mean you never take a gooey mold, and you never wait for a scan, whether it's for Invisalign, an expander, retainers or whitening trays.
- Personalized care. Private treatment rooms, a separate lobby for adult patients, and a warm, fun team that's here to answer your questions and make every visit better.
- #1 Invisalign provider in East Texas. As a Platinum Invisalign provider, we treat more children, teens and adults with Invisalign than anywhere else in East Texas, which helps us make Invisalign more affordable.
