What Is Orthodontics?
Orthodontics is the field of dentistry that deals with tooth alignment and adjustment. Proper orthodontic treatment prevents and corrects misaligned teeth, and it helps with problems including overbite, underbite, gaps in the teeth, crooked teeth, open bite, cross bite, and misaligned teeth or jaw. LA Dental Clinic treats both the look of the smile and the way the bite works, because the two go together. Treatment ranges from a single misaligned tooth to cases that need full headgear.
Types of Orthodontic Treatment at LA Dental Clinic
LA Dental Clinic's orthodontic service in Los Angeles offers braces and Invisalign, and the two can be combined when a case calls for it.
Invisalign
A series of clear, removable, nearly invisible aligners that gently shift teeth into place. There are no metal brackets and no wires to tighten.
Braces
A long-established way to align teeth, worn for between 6 months and 2 years depending on the case. Clear or colored bands are available.
Braces and Invisalign Together
Some patients use both. An open bite may start with braces, and the patient can switch to Invisalign for maintenance as the teeth align.
Extractions in Complex Cases
In more extreme cases of misalignment, other teeth may need to be removed to make room for proper treatment.
How to Tell You May Need Orthodontic Work
LA Dental Clinic sees patients across Los Angeles with orthodontic problems that range from a single misaligned tooth to complex bite issues. The following signs suggest an orthodontic consultation is worth booking.
- Gaps in the teeth or crooked teeth.
- Overbite, underbite, open bite, or cross bite.
- Misaligned teeth or jaw.
- Difficulty speaking because of the way the teeth are aligned.
- Difficulty chewing because of the way the teeth are aligned.
- Minor-looking alignment problems, which can still lead to dramatic and long-term misalignment if they are left alone.
The best time to start orthodontic treatment is in childhood, as soon as a dentist notices a problem with the bite or alignment. Some problems do not appear until later in life, and many adults begin treatment at LA Dental Clinic because they did not have the chance as children.
How Orthodontic Treatment Works at LA Dental Clinic
The process for braces and Invisalign at LA Dental Clinic in Los Angeles is fairly similar, and it begins the same way for every patient.
1
Impressions and X-Rays
LA Dental Clinic takes an impression of your teeth and X-rays. The dentist uses the mold and the X-rays to decide how to proceed.
2
Choosing Braces, Invisalign, or Both
The choice depends on your age, your desired outcome, and what needs to be done to align your bite. You and your dentist decide on the type of braces, or on Invisalign, and on the extent and duration of treatment.
3
Treatment and Adjustments
With Invisalign, custom aligners made from your impressions are fitted to your teeth and gently align them over time. With braces, you visit LA Dental Clinic for adjustments and tightening as your teeth slowly move into place. Braces are worn for 6 months to up to 2 years depending on the case.
Braces or Invisalign at LA Dental Clinic
LA Dental Clinic offers both options in Los Angeles because braces and Invisalign are both proven, effective ways to align teeth, and the right choice depends on your specific dental needs.
- When Invisalign is the better fit. Invisalign is popular with adults who want to align their teeth subtly, including professionals who prefer not to show metal braces. It is also helpful for patients who had braces as children and have noticed their teeth moving out of alignment again. Aligners can be removed daily, and Invisalign is a good option for public figures.
- When braces are the better fit. Braces suit patients whose teeth have a long way to move, such as an overcrowded smile where the teeth are too distorted for aligner trays. Certain problems, including some open bites, can only be fixed with braces, and braces are generally more effective at correcting bite and jaw issues. Clear braces offer a more subtle look, and colored bands let patients add personality.
Both braces and Invisalign are effective at aligning and straightening teeth. LA Dental Clinic recommends the one that fits your case, and sometimes a mixture of the two.

"Terrific dentist!!! Friendly, compassionate and knowledgeable. She and her staff made me feel cared for and valued as a patient. I need tons of dental work and I didn't feel judged for having "bad teeth". For the first time in a long time I'm confident that I have a dentist that actually cares about me as a person first and patient second. I am confident that Dr. Nasiry will help to restore the smile I lost years ago. I can't thank her enough"

"I came in for a dental emergency and they took care of me day of! They were also so fast which I appreciate. The room had a tv, the staff were nice, and I will be coming back.
It was definitely pricey as I do not have dental insurance, but you get what you pay for."

"Absolutely wonderful! I hadn't been to the dentist in a few years, and everyone made sure I got the treatment I needed without being judgemental or condescending about it. The hygienist is kind and talkative, and everyone was very cognizant of my needs and made sure I wasn't in pain. Dr. Nasiry is great, and I completely trust her with my teeth and their future care! (They are also very upfront and honest about pricing, which is very appreciated.)"

"Was in the Los Angeles area for business, and my veneer came off. Not only did they answer my call at 3am but got me into see a dentist in between their already booked schedule. Once I arrived I was greeted by a very kind receptionist and a clean waiting room. I was taken back by Jose, very nice and diligent tech and then I got to meet my dentist. Like an angel for my teeth. The doctor was friendly, gentle and incredibly knowledgeable. She got me fixed up and helped me find dentist back in phx to continue my care. I am making plans to travel back to Los Angeles to see LA Dental again! Amazing!"

"This is my first time here at LA Dental Clinic and I love how caring, relatable, professional, and knowledgeable Dr. Golara, Sara, Cynthia, and Gloria are. They let me know everything that is being done for my son's teeth. They were patience with him by ensuring that he understands what they are doing, the different instruments being used, how they are doing the x-rays, and etc. The office is very clean and they have parking, which is always a plus. Thank you for your help with my son and getting his perfect smile. The prices are very reasonable and not pressured into anything you do not feel comfortable doing. I highly recommend LA Dental Clinic to everyone."

"Dr. Azy, Jesus and Sara completely changed how I feel about my smile. I used to hide it and now I catch myself smiling more without even thinking. It feels so good to finally love it.
The composite bonding experience felt more like self care than a scary dental visit and that says everything. So grateful I found this place! They really helped me feel like myself again."

"My first visit at Dr. Nasiry was excellent. The staff was welcoming friendly and funny. They eased my nerves. Once I was seated they had music playing which was new but pleasant. The doctor was easy to talk to and she listen to all my concerns. She makes you feel like you are her number one priority. Ive had braces put it and I was terrified but they all helped me get through it. I have a favorite assistant who goes above and beyond to make sure you are ok and getting the best treatedment. This place is great and im glad I made the decision to make them my permanent dental family."

COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
What orthodontic treatments does LA Dental Clinic offer?
LA Dental Clinic in Los Angeles offers braces and Invisalign. Braces can be traditional, with clear or colored bands, or clear for a more subtle look. Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners instead of metal brackets and wires. Some patients use a mixture of the two.
How do I know if I need braces or Invisalign?
A gap in the teeth, crooked teeth, or a problem with the bite is the first sign. Difficulty speaking or chewing because of the way the teeth are aligned is another. Some problems look minor but can lead to dramatic and long-term misalignment, so a consultation at LA Dental Clinic in Los Angeles is the best way to find out what you need.
What is the difference between braces and Invisalign?
Both are effective at aligning and straightening teeth. Invisalign is far less visible and can be removed daily, while braces can be clear or colored and are generally more effective for bite and jaw issues. LA Dental Clinic recommends one or the other, or both, based on your age, your goals, and what your bite needs.
How long do braces take?
Most patients at LA Dental Clinic wear braces for between 6 months and 2 years, depending on the case and the outcome they want. Patients whose teeth have a long way to move are the most likely to need the longer end of that range. Braces require visits to the office for adjustments and tightening over time.
Can I use braces and Invisalign together?
Yes. Some patients at LA Dental Clinic use both. An open bite, for example, may start with braces, and once the teeth have aligned the patient can switch to Invisalign for maintenance.
What factors affect the cost of orthodontic treatment?
At LA Dental Clinic, braces cost relatively the same for children and adults. The cost varies with whether you need a full mouth of braces or a partial set, and with the amount of time you need braces. Invisalign varies with the patient: slight misalignment means a shorter treatment with fewer aligner trays, and longer treatments cost slightly more.
Are orthodontics only for children?
No. Treatment is best started in childhood, as soon as a dentist notices a problem with the bite or alignment, but orthodontic treatment is popular with adults too. Many adults at LA Dental Clinic begin treatment because they did not have the opportunity as children, and others return because teeth moved after earlier braces.
Is Invisalign a good option for actors and public figures?
Yes. Invisalign uses nearly invisible aligners instead of metal braces, so it suits patients whose work puts them in front of people. LA Dental Clinic in Los Angeles treats actors and public figures alongside patients from every walk of life, and every case is handled with discretion.
