Creating Smiles that Last a Lifetime
Jonathan Havener, D.D.S, M.S.
Dr. Jonathan Havener D.D.S., M.S. and his wife, Elizabeth, are natives of the Rio Grande Valley. Dr. Havener grew up in Mission and attended Sharyland High School where he was involved in varsity swimming, basketball, and FFA & 4-H. He graduated Valedictorian of his high school class in 2008 and went on to obtain his Bachelor of Science in biology with a minor in business from Texas A&M University in 2012. After college, Dr. Havener spent 4 years in Dallas to complete his training for dentistry. He received his doctorate in dental surgery (DDS) from Texas A&M University Baylor College of Dentistry in 2016 where he again graduated as Valedictorian. He then spent the next three years at the same institution focusing his training solely on orthodontics. In May of 2019, he graduated with a master's in oral biology and a certificate in orthodontics. Following graduation in 2019, he moved back home to the Rio Grande Valley to begin practicing orthodontics full time. Dr. Havener is a board certified orthodontist. He is a member of the American Association of Orthodontics, a diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontists, the Texas Association of Orthodontics, the American Dental Association, Texas Dental Association, and the Rio Grande Valley Dental Society. In his spare time he enjoys spending time with his family (wife-Elizabeth, twin daughters-Harper and Lennon, dog-Fitch, cats-Gus&Gibby), going salt and freshwater fishing, golfing, and exploring the great outdoors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Orthodontists are dental specialists who diagnose and treat problems with the position, alignment or spacing of the teeth, as well as related irregularities in the face and the jaw. Orthodontists use a number of special treatments, including braces and other oral appliances, to correct these problems and to help improve their patients’ overall oral health.
Having braces put on is generally painless. Some people experience minor aches and pains in the first couple of days or so, as they adjust to wearing their appliances; periodic adjustments may sometimes cause soreness as well, though it typically lasts only a short time. Over-the-counter pain relievers can be used to alleviate any discomfort, but are usually unnecessary.
There are two good reasons: aesthetics and function. Having an attractive smile not only changes the way people see you — it enhances your own self-image as well. Orthodontic treatment also allows your teeth to function better and makes it easier to keep them clean, which can improve your overall health.
It’s different for each person, but generally the active stage of treatment (that is, wearing braces or other appliances) may take from 6-30 months. After that, a retainer is worn for at least several months more.
