What Is Orthodontics & Why It Matters
Orthodontics focuses on aligning teeth and jaws to create a healthier bite, improve oral hygiene, and enhance confidence. Beyond straighter teeth, orthodontic care can boost chewing efficiency, minimize enamel wear, and protect long-term dental health. With advanced tools like digital X-rays, 3D imaging, and intraoral scanners (iTero, Medit, TRIOS), every treatment plan is personalized to your smile.
Common Orthodontic Problems
- Crooked or crowded teeth – Straightening makes brushing and flossing easier while preventing uneven wear.
- Spacing issues – Close unwanted gaps for a balanced, natural-looking smile.
- Bite problems – Correct overbite, underbite, crossbite, or open bite to improve comfort and function.
- Jaw discomfort – Alleviate strain from misalignment that may contribute to TMJ issues or frequent headaches.
- Chewing or speech difficulties – Support clear speech and efficient chewing for everyday comfort.
- Higher decay risk – Aligned teeth minimize plaque buildup in hard-to-clean areas.
Orthodontic treatment is about more than achieving a straight smile—it’s about long-term comfort, function, and oral health.
Pediatric & Teen Orthodontics
Burbank families can rely on early evaluations and age-appropriate orthodontic guidance. We carefully monitor growth, eruption, and bite development, recommending the best timing for care—from space maintainers and early-phase treatment to comprehensive braces or clear aligners for teens.
- Early checks – Childhood screenings help identify crowding, spacing, or bite concerns while the jaws are still developing.
- Growth-friendly solutions – Interceptive options like expanders or limited braces can simplify or shorten future treatment needs.
- Teen-focused options – Clear aligners (including Invisalign® Teen) and low-profile braces keep treatment discreet and effective for busy teens.

Why Retainers Are So Important
Orthodontic treatment doesn’t end the day your braces or aligners are removed. Retainers prevent teeth from shifting back toward their original positions, safeguarding the time and investment you’ve made in your smile. Without consistent wear, relapse is common—and alignment changes can occur more quickly than you might expect.
Post-treatment stability
Crucial after Invisalign® or braces to maintain results long-term.
Relapse prevention
Helps prevent crowding or shifting in patients prone to misalignment.
Protection for grinders
Durable retainer options can help manage clenching or grinding at night.
Bite correction support
Preserves improvements made through bite or jaw adjustments.
Types of Retainers We Offer
Not sure which option is best for you? We’ll evaluate your bite, oral habits, and long-term goals to recommend a retainer that keeps your smile stable and comfortable.
Clear plastic (Essix) retainers
Lightweight and nearly invisible—great for daily wear and subtle retention.
Hawley retainers
Classic acrylic-and-wire design that is durable, adjustable, and can allow for minor bite refinements.
Fixed (bonded) retainers
A slim wire bonded behind the front teeth for 24/7 retention—ideal for patients at higher risk of relapse.
How to Care for Your Retainer
Proper care extends the life of your retainer and keeps your smile stable. Keep it clean, protected, and regularly checked.
- Clean daily – Use a soft brush and mild soap—avoid toothpaste, which can scratch plastic surfaces.
- Store safely – Always place your retainer in its case when it’s not being worn.
- Avoid heat – Hot water or high temperatures can warp plastic retainers.
- Bring to checkups – We’ll inspect, clean, and adjust your retainer as needed.
- For fixed retainers – Brush and floss carefully around bonded wires to prevent plaque buildup.

Orthodontics Frequently Asked Questions
What technology do you use for orthodontic treatment?
We utilize Intraoral Cameras, Digital X-rays, CAD/CAM, Digital Impressions, and more to ensure accurate diagnostics and efficient treatment.
How long does treatment take?
Most orthodontic treatments range from 12 to 36 months, depending on your specific case.
What’s the best age for orthodontics?
Orthodontics can be successful at any age. Early evaluation (around age 7) is ideal, but adults benefit too.
What aftercare is required after treatment?
You’ll need to wear retainers as directed, maintain excellent hygiene, and attend regular dental checkups.
Can I get braces if I’ve had dental implants?
Yes, in most cases. We’ll tailor your treatment plan around any existing restorations.
Do braces hurt?
You may feel slight pressure or discomfort after adjustments, but modern technology minimizes pain and speeds up adaptation.
Do you offer same-day services?
We offer same-day CEREC crowns and use digital planning to reduce the number of orthodontic visits, though full treatment still requires regular check-ins.
Are orthodontic results permanent?
Yes—with proper post-treatment care and retainer use, results can last a lifetime.
How long do I have to wear my retainer?
Most patients wear their retainer full-time at first, then transition to nighttime use. Long-term wear is often necessary to maintain results.
What if I lost my retainer?
Contact us right away. The sooner you replace it, the better your chances of preventing shifting.
Can I use my old retainer again?
If it still fits properly, yes. But if it feels tight, loose, or painful, it’s time for a new one.
How long do retainers last?
With proper care, a retainer can last 5–10 years. Plastic models may need to be replaced more often than metal or bonded retainers.
Is it bad to skip wearing my retainer?
Yes. Even a few days without it can cause noticeable shifting, especially in the first year after treatment.
Do you offer same-day retainer replacement?
Thanks to our in-house digital scanning and 3D printing tech, we can often deliver replacements quickly—sometimes the same day.
Are retainers covered by insurance?
Some dental plans include coverage for orthodontic retainers. We’ll help you check your benefits.
How do I clean my retainer?
Use a soft brush and mild soap. Avoid hot water, toothpaste, or harsh chemicals that can damage the material.
Can you adjust a retainer that doesn’t fit right?
Yes—if it’s a Hawley or fixed retainer. Clear plastic retainers must usually be replaced.
Can I get a new retainer if I wasn’t a patient here before?
Absolutely. We welcome new patients for retainer replacement, even if your original orthodontic treatment was done elsewhere.
