Treatment Plans Made by a Board-Certified Orthodontist

Your child’s braces or aligner plan is made by an orthodontist who has been a diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics since 2022 and is Invisalign certified.

Thousands of orthodontic patients have been through our office, and the approach is conservative: we choose between braces and clear aligners based on what each bite needs, and we explain that choice before treatment starts.

An Orthodontist Near You, About 3 Miles From South Whittier

South Whittier is a neighborhood of families, and more than one in five residents is under 18. For parents there, orthodontic care means months of check-ins planned around school and work. Our office on Greenleaf Avenue in Whittier is about 3 miles away, and we are open until 6 PM Monday through Thursday, which leaves room for visits after school.

Grandparents often help with rides and decisions. Our team speaks English and Spanish, so everyone involved can follow the plan and ask about payments.

Braces make brushing and flossing harder, so regular cleanings matter more during treatment. As a family dentist in Whittier, we keep those cleanings and checkups in the same building as your orthodontic visits.

Orthodontic Care South Whittier Families Ask About

Most families come in asking about braces or Invisalign for a child. These are the services that connect to orthodontic treatment here.

Orthodontist

Every plan begins with an evaluation of tooth and jaw alignment. A good place to start if you are not sure yet what your child needs.

Braces

Traditional, clear and ceramic braces for children, teens and adults. Braces stay on the teeth, so nobody has to remember to put them in.

Invisalign

Clear, removable aligners for teens and adults who will wear them most of the day and night. When a bite needs more, we recommend braces instead.

Pediatric Dental Care

Kids in braces still need exams and cleanings, since plaque collects around brackets. Our dentists see children in the same office, so visits can be lined up.

What Parents Notice Before an Orthodontic Visit

You don’t need a diagnosis before you call. These are the changes that most often lead South Whittier parents to book.

Not Enough Room for Adult Teeth

When permanent teeth come in overlapped or pushed out of line, the jaw may not have space for all of them. Treatment can create room and guide each tooth into place.

Gaps That Stay Open

Spaces that remain after the adult teeth arrive can be closed gradually as braces or aligners move the teeth together.

Teeth That Don’t Meet Evenly

If the upper and lower teeth don’t come together evenly when your child bites, we look at jaw alignment as well as the teeth and plan around both.

Adult Teeth That Have Drifted

Parents sometimes notice their own teeth have shifted over the years. Adult braces and Invisalign are available, so you can be treated alongside your kids.

Free Orthodontic Consultation for Every Family Member

Your first orthodontic visit is free, for kids, teens and parents alike. We check the teeth and bite, explain whether braces or Invisalign fits, and answer your questions so you can decide with no pressure.

Imaging Used at Your Orthodontic Evaluation

Our office uses multiple digital scanners and intraoral cameras. The camera images let you and your teen look at the same teeth we are talking about, so the plan makes sense before anyone agrees to it.

When a jaw alignment question needs more detail, cone-beam CT (CBCT) imaging is available in the same office.

Using PPO Benefits for Braces or Invisalign

We accept all PPO dental plans. Our benefits coordinator checks your coverage before treatment begins, tells you upfront what your plan will pay and files the claims for you.

For the remaining balance, CareCredit, Cherry, low initial payments and monthly payment plans can spread the cost across the months of treatment.

Insurance and Payment Options

Financing available

Low initial payments and monthly payment plans for qualifying patients.

PPO plans we accept

We work with PPO dental plans. Call us and we’ll confirm your specific plan before your visit.
