Orthodontics in Woodland Hills

Having a beautiful smile has been shown to boost confidence and self-esteem. This is why many people seek out Orthodontics in Woodland Hills as a way to enhance their life and look. In addition to improving their appearance, a straighter smile is also healthy. The teeth are easier to brush and floss, resulting in less plaque which reduces the risk of tooth decay and gum disease.

The field of orthodontics includes treatments that help the growth and development of the teeth and jaws. These include braces, expanders, and other appliances. In the United States, only dentists with specialized training can call themselves orthodontists. In order to become an orthodontist, a dentist must complete college requirements and then graduate from dental school with a doctorate in dentistry and a 3-year orthodontic residency.

Our team offers a wide range of Orthodontic treatments to meet our patients’ needs. Metal braces are still the most common treatment, and with technological advancements, they’re now smaller, sleeker, and more comfortable than ever. We also offer clear braces that are the same size as metal braces but are more discreet.

We also provide Phase I orthodontic treatment, a preventative treatment designed to make space for adult teeth so that we don’t have to extract them later, and other appliances like expanders to correct severe bites. Regardless of the type of treatment you choose, we want your child to feel at home and excited about their new smile.
