Let’s Straighten Your Smile Together
We make orthodontic care modern, comfortable, and accessible—so you can enjoy the confidence of a healthier, more aligned smile.
What Is Orthodontics & Why It Matters
Orthodontics focuses on aligning teeth and jaws to create a healthier bite, improve oral hygiene, and enhance confidence. Beyond straighter teeth, orthodontic care can boost chewing efficiency, minimize enamel wear, and protect long-term dental health. With advanced tools like digital X-rays, 3D imaging, and intraoral scanners (iTero, Medit, TRIOS), every treatment plan is personalized to your smile.
Common Orthodontic Problems
- Crooked or crowded teeth - Straightening makes brushing and flossing easier while preventing uneven wear.
- Spacing issues - Close unwanted gaps for a balanced, natural-looking smile.
- Bite problems - Correct overbite, underbite, crossbite, or open bite to improve comfort and function.
- Jaw discomfort - Alleviate strain from misalignment that may contribute to TMJ issues or frequent headaches.
- Chewing or speech difficulties - Support clear speech and efficient chewing for everyday comfort.
- Higher decay risk - Aligned teeth minimize plaque buildup in hard-to-clean areas.
Orthodontic treatment is about more than achieving a straight smile—it’s about long-term comfort, function, and oral health.
Pediatric & Teen Orthodontics
Burbank families can rely on early evaluations and age-appropriate orthodontic guidance. We carefully monitor growth, eruption, and bite development, recommending the best timing for care—from space maintainers and early-phase treatment to comprehensive braces or clear aligners for teens.
- Early checks - Childhood screenings help identify crowding, spacing, or bite concerns while the jaws are still developing.
- Growth-friendly solutions - Interceptive options like expanders or limited braces can simplify or shorten future treatment needs.
- Teen-focused options - Clear aligners (including Invisalign® Teen) and low-profile braces keep treatment discreet and effective for busy teens.
