A Trusted Orthodontist in Leonard
Dr. Kraus earned his bachelor’s degree in business management from Brigham Young University. After graduating, he continued his dental education in Dallas, TX, at Baylor College of Dentistry.
Dr. Kraus went on to graduate from dental school as President of the Odontological Honor Society and a member of the Omicron Kappa Upsilon National Dental Honor Society. He was then accepted into Baylor’s esteemed orthodontic residency program, where he earned a Master of Science degree in Oral Biology and a Certificate in Orthodontics.
Upon completion of his orthodontic residency, Dr. Kraus received his master’s degree in oral biology, with his research earning both the Charley Schultz Resident Scholar Award and the prestigious Harry Sicher Research Award. He became board-certified with the American Board of Orthodontics in 2012, a distinction achieved by only 25% of orthodontists.
Dr. Kraus has been recognized with various honors, including the Baylor Oral Health Foundation Centennial Award. He remains committed to providing exceptional orthodontic care to families in Leonard.
Outside the office, Dr. Kraus enjoys spending time with his wife, Liana, and their three daughters. As a Scoutmaster for Boy Scout Troop 1234 in Allen, he takes pride in mentoring young men and helping shape future leaders.
Leonard Braces
Braces in Leonard are an excellent choice for correcting complex tooth issues. Since they can sometimes work faster at aligning teeth and closing gaps than other treatments might, overall treatment time may be slightly reduced.
Braces don’t require some of the more complex technology or expensive equipment that newer treatments can, meaning Leonard braces are a cost-effective orthodontic option.
Traditional metal braces are one of the most efficient orthodontic tools we have. They’re made out of metal or ceramic brackets that are affixed to the teeth, then connected by wires and tiny rubber bands or elastics.
These brackets, wires, and bands work together to apply the gentle pressure that will gradually move the teeth into the positions we want them to be in as long as you have regular adjustments with our doctors.
Allen, Blue Ridge, & Leonard Aligners
Spark clear aligners are incredibly popular with both patients and orthodontists in Leonard and is the top alternative to traditional braces. Instead of brackets and bands, the clear aligner system uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten your teeth.
Spark aligners are made of a comfortable plastic material and customized to fit snugly over your teeth. To keep your teeth moving in the direction you want them to, you’ll need to switch your invisible trays out for the next one in the series every one to two weeks as directed by Dr. Kraus.
Our aligner system can only work if the recommended guidelines are followed exactly! Aligners should be worn 20-22 hours per day throughout treatment. If patients neglect to wear the aligners as directed, it can impede the results and also add time to the orthodontic process.
Aligners are at their most efficient when correcting many of the most common orthodontic issues. For some complex cases, aligners may not be a good option. A free consultation with Dr. Kraus at Kraus Orthodontics in will allow us to determine your eligibility for aligners.

Dr. Kraus has lots of experience providing customized treatment plans for each individual patient.
