Only those with this formal education may call themselves “orthodontists,” and only orthodontists may be members of the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO).

You’ll feel at ease allowing our skilled orthodontic experts to carefully oversee your treatment every step of the way.

This will give you the promise of a much better smile in the end.

Yes. Healthy teeth can be moved at any age.

Many orthodontic problems can be corrected as easily for adults as for children. Orthodontic forces move teeth in the same way for both adults and children, and we’ve had hundreds of adult orthodontic success stories.

Many options are available today to minimize the appearance of braces. Today’s braces are smaller and sleeker, and some are next-to-invisible.

Dr. Alborzi can advise you about options that will fit your particular needs.

These options allow you to have flexibility and discretion during your treatment.

You can do almost anything during orthodontic treatment – sing, play a musical instrument, dine out, kiss, and even have your picture taken.

Some adjustments may be necessary. But, if you’re like the vast majority of adult patients, you’ll adjust quickly.

New techniques and materials have made wearing braces more comfortable and convenient than ever.

During your consultation, Dr. Alborzi can determine if you’ll benefit from treatment.

After carefully analyzing your needed correction, Dr. Alborzi will recommend the best treatment to improve your smile, including the different types of braces that are best for you.

Orthodontic treatment can create or hold space to replace missing teeth.

Dr. Alborzi will work with your dentist or dental specialist. They’ll provide bridges or implants so you can achieve the best result.

Dr. Alborzi will consult with your dentist and/or periodontist about the health of your gums.

If you’re a candidate for orthodontic treatment, you’ll continue regular supervision with your dentist and periodontist.

In many cases, tooth alignment can improve the health of the gums.

The cost of orthodontic treatment will depend on many factors, including its severity, complexity, and treatment length. Dr. Alborzi will be glad to discuss the cost with you before treatment begins.

You’ll find that braces are more affordable today than ever. We offer a variety of convenient payment plans and accept most dental insurance plans that include orthodontic benefits.
