Many patients with misaligned teeth or issues with their bite are hesitant to undergo orthodontic procedures for fear that they may take years to complete.

Before recent breakthroughs in dental technology and treatment options, orthodontics often seemed like a waiting game that would require cumbersome devices that worked slowly to straighten teeth. Fortunately, our well-trained and highly skilled general dentist Dr. Kami Kohani offers fast and discreet orthodontic treatments.

What Are the Benefits of Orthodontics?

Although orthodontic treatment can deliver cosmetically appealing results, the primary goal is to improve the teeth’s health, bite, and underlying bone.

Orthodontics can address the following issues:
Twisted, gapped, and overlapping teeth
Overbites, underbites, and open bites
Risk of tooth decay due to food particles becoming more easily stuck between teeth
Current or potential complications of TMJ dysfunction, such as headaches, difficulties chewing, and even trouble speaking

These problems can damage confidence levels and cause individuals to be self-conscious about the appearance of their teeth. Receiving orthodontic care corrects structural dental issues and produces a healthier smile that improves your overall quality of life.

Am I a Candidate for Orthodontics?

Today, most adults who want to address problems with their bite or the alignment of their teeth can now choose fast and discreet methods to permanently improve their smile. Teens can also be excellent candidates since their dentition responds quickly to orthodontics.

Additionally, adults requiring substantial orthodontic correction who thought their orthodontic concerns would take years to fully treat are finding they can also benefit from advancements in orthodontic treatments.

To help determine if you are a good candidate for accelerated adult orthodontics, ask yourself these questions:

Do you desire quick teeth-straightening results with braces?
Are you looking for less chairside time?
Do you want to modify your existing orthodontic treatment plan to achieve results faster?

Dr. Kohani specializes in orthodontics in San Diego and can produce straight and healthy teeth safely and without major alterations to your natural tooth enamel.

You can count on Dr. Kohani to spend ample time with you to ensure your goals are understood and all orthodontic options are thoroughly explained.

Testimonials

Our patients LOVE us, and you will too!

Dr. Kohani changed my smile by using his special veneering technique with minimal alteration of my own teeth. He is an absolute perfectionist and does unbelievable work. No one can tell I have veneers; they just notice my bright and shining smile.

I have gone to Dr. Kohani a few times now and have had nothing but great experiences. I was impressed with the friendly staff that is welcoming and organized. We all know these visits aren’t necessarily ones we look forward to, but Dr. Kohani makes this experience quite pleasant…

O. LaJeunesse

I was new to La Jolla, out looking for a dentist and I actually walked into Dr. Kohani’s office by mistake. Well, it was one of the best mistakes I made. My teeth needed a ton of work and Dr. Kohani did a beautiful job. I needed fillings, root canals and veneers. Dr. Kohani was able to do it all…

Adult Orthodontics FAQ

What Techniques Are Used for Orthodontics?

We begin your orthodontic consultation by taking X-rays, an iTero™ scan, and using a 3D digital CT scanner to get precise and detailed images of your teeth and jaw.

A virtual model of your teeth, bite, and jaw is created and used to form your custom orthodontic treatment plan.

Dr. Kohani performs orthodontic procedures using nickel and titanium wires, heat-activated and super elastic wires, intelligent brackets, and ceramic brackets.

Dr. Kohani will recommend the techniques he feels are best for you and your individual goals.

Is There Downtime Associated With Orthodontics?

You may feel soreness immediately after each visit, but it will subside. Over-the-counter medication may be taken to combat mild discomfort.

The length of your orthodontic treatment will depend on the severity of the correction needed. We understand that you wish for your treatment to be as quick as possible.

What Results Can I Expect After Orthodontic Treatment?

La Jolla Cosmetic Dentistry & Orthodontics uses only the most cosmetically appealing orthodontic appliances. Dr. Kohani understands that wearing metal brackets and wires is unpleasant and affects the appearance of your smile. He offers clear braces or Invisalign®, depending on your needs, so that you can straighten your teeth comfortably without a mouthful of metal or everyone knowing about your orthodontic treatment.
