Orthodontics

At its very core, orthodontics aims to correct both your teeth and your jaw, helping to form an insatiable smile that is almost expected of people in our day and age. Aside from the aesthetic appearance that orthodontics are capable of changing, it also improves functionality to your mouth as a whole – something you will benefit from on a daily basis with an efficient bite, chewing, and even speaking language.

Common orthodontic problems include a misaligned bite (underbite, overbite, crossbite), spacing, crowding. An orthodontic evaluation by our Santa Barbara dentist can reveal whether or not you will benefit from orthodontic treatment, as well as determine the best course of action based on your preferences. We offer types of braces for all preferences.

Metal Braces
Metal braces have been around the longest and for good reason - because they work. Modern orthodontic treatment utilizes stainless steel brackets that are bonded to the enamel of your tooth using a strong adhesive and then attached to each other using wires and elastics. You can even add a personal touch to your braces by using specific colored brackets.

Porcelain Braces
Also known as ceramic braces, porcelain braces are made of composite materials and offer a more subtle approach over metal braces. Subtle in the sense that porcelain braces match the natural color of your teeth, allowing for an appearance that is not seen as easily as metal braces. Porcelain brackets have the possibility of staining if proper care is not in tact.

We offer more than just braces, orthodontics contains a wide range of products that are designed to fix and correct our mouths – mouth guards for sleep apne among others.

If you live in Northridge or anywhere in The San Fernando valley, come see us for a dental orthodontics consultation.

The online forms helped me a lot, scheduled my appointment and my dentist visit went smoothly. Finally got rid of that pain that bothered me for a while.
