Orthodontics (Braces)

At Studio City Dental Group, our orthodontist strives to provide the best orthodontic experience possible for our patients. We focus on each patient's needs and care, while utilizing state-of-the-art technology. Through orthodontic care at our North Hollywood office, it is our goal to not only treat issues associated with misaligned teeth and jaws, but to educate our patients on preventing oral disease and decreasing tension and anxiety towards orthodontics.

Orthodontic Services for Patients of All Ages

We treat patients of every age and stage of dental development. The benefit of offering expertise in orthodontics and pediatric dentistry under one roof cannot be minimized.

When you or your child begins orthodontic care at Studio City Dental Group, you can feel confident in knowing that your treatment is in the hands of qualified dental specialists.
Our orthodontic services include

• Traditional Metal Braces – When dental alignment issues are complicated, metal braces provide the most predictable and conservative way to achieve a healthier and more attractive smile. Metal braces are often recommended for children and teenage patients who need orthodontic adjustment so their smiles develop properly and are able to provide them with the straight teeth they want into adulthood.
• Clear Braces – For adult patients, or those with more moderate alignment issues, clear braces provide a nearly invisible treatment alternative to metal braces. Our North Hollywood orthodontist is a certified Invisalgn® specialist who can provide these clear braces to qualified patients. Invisalign® provides the comfort and convenience of removable aligner trays to ensure a positive treatment experience.

Early Orthodontic Treatment for Children

Orthodontic screenings for children are recommended by the age of seven. At seven, the teeth and jaws are sufficiently developed so that our pediatric dentist and orthodontist can see if any serious bite or growth problems are present or will be in the future.

In providing orthodontics for young patients, our team communicates constantly with Dr. Gidan, our pediatric dentist, on every patient case. While treatment is often not needed at age seven, these early orthodontic screenings for children provide our orthodontist time to follow bone and teeth development and decide on the best mode of treatment.

Recommended orthodontic care depends on the specific problem your child is facing. Many times, what appears to be a problem at one age, if treated early, may not be a problem at a later age. If your child has crowded teeth, or an apparent lack of space early on, managing these issues properly with early orthodontic intervention, may resolve the issue entirely as their smile develops. Our children’s orthodontic services can prevent permanent extractions and minimize the amount of care your child many need at a later age.
