Braces Planned With a Conservative Approach

Every braces plan at our office comes from an orthodontist who has been a diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics since 2022.

We keep treatment conservative. That means choosing the type of braces your bite actually calls for, and walking you through the reason before any brackets go on, whether the patient is in elementary school or well into a career.

Our orthodontist earned a Dean’s Scholarship at the UCLA School of Dentistry, is a member of the American Association of Orthodontists and volunteers with Give Kids A Smile.

Braces Near You on Greenleaf Avenue

Braces are not only for middle schoolers. We fit adults with braces too, and clear or ceramic brackets are a common pick for people who talk with customers or coworkers all day. Parents sometimes start treatment in the same season as their teen.

Adjustments continue for the length of treatment, so a short trip helps, and our office at 6716 Greenleaf Avenue has easy parking. Our team explains brushing around brackets, what to eat and how payments work in English or Spanish.

We opened in 2003 as a general dentist in Whittier, so braces patients get their cleanings, fillings and checkups from the same practice that manages their orthodontic care.

Care That Goes Hand in Hand With Braces

These are the services patients most often pair with braces at our office.

Orthodontist

Braces are one part of our orthodontic care, which also includes tooth and jaw alignment evaluations and clear aligners.

Invisalign

Invisalign swaps brackets for clear, removable trays. At your consultation we compare trays and brackets for your teeth and tell you which we would pick.

Children’s Dentistry

Brackets give plaque extra places to hide, so kids in braces need their checkups and cleanings on schedule. Our dentists see children at the same office.

Smile Makeover

Straightening is often the first step in a bigger cosmetic plan, with whitening or veneers once the braces come off. If your teeth are already straight and you only want to change their color or shape, a makeover can skip braces entirely.

Bite Problems We Treat With Braces

Not every reason for braces is about looks. These are bite problems our orthodontist evaluates at a braces consultation.

Overbite and Underbite

When the upper teeth sit too far over the lower ones, or the lower teeth come forward past the uppers, teeth can wear unevenly when you chew. We check jaw alignment along with the teeth before planning braces for either one.

Crossbite

In a crossbite, some upper teeth close inside the lower teeth instead of outside them. Braces can shift those teeth over time so the upper and lower arches meet the way they should.

Rotated or Tipped Teeth

A tooth that has turned or leaned out of line is harder to brush and floss around. Because a bracket is bonded to each tooth, braces can guide that tooth back into position a little at a time.

Your Braces Consultation Is Free

There is no charge for your first orthodontic visit. We look at your teeth and bite, explain which brackets fit your case, and you leave with a plan to think over at home.

Traditional, Clear and Ceramic Braces in Whittier

Traditional braces use metal brackets joined by a wire. They are the option most people picture, and they suit children, teens and adults alike.

Clear braces and ceramic braces work the same way, with brackets that blend in with your teeth, so they are harder to spot in photos or across a desk.

Before we recommend any of the three, we take digital scans and intraoral camera photos, and CBCT imaging is in the office if your jaw needs a closer look.

Using Your PPO and Financing for Braces

We accept all PPO dental plans. Before your braces go on, our benefits coordinator checks what your plan covers, tells you upfront what it should pay and files the claims for you.

Braces are paid for over the course of treatment, so low initial payments, monthly plans, CareCredit and Cherry can keep each month manageable.

Insurance and Payment Options

Financing available

Braces Questions We Hear in Whittier

Can adults get braces at your Whittier office?

Yes. We place adult braces as well as braces for children and teens. Many adults choose clear or ceramic brackets because they blend in with the teeth, and your consultation covers which style suits your bite.

What should I do if a bracket comes loose between visits?

Call our Whittier office at (562) 696-5544 and tell us what happened. We will let you know whether it can wait for your next adjustment or needs a visit sooner. Emergency patients can typically be seen the same day.

Can my family talk through braces with your team in Spanish?

Yes. Our team speaks English and Spanish, so parents, grandparents and patients can go over the plan, home care and payments in whichever language they are most comfortable with.

What will braces cost, and can I pay monthly?

The cost depends on your treatment plan, which we can only set after an exam. At your free consultation we check your PPO benefits, tell you upfront what your plan should pay, and go over CareCredit, Cherry and monthly payment plans for the rest.
