Orthodontics Services in San Diego, CA
La Jolla Cosmetic Dentistry & Orthodontics provides a complete range of traditional and advanced orthodontic treatments for adults, children, and individuals with special needs. As a highly respected cosmetic dentist and orthodontist, Dr. Kohani is committed to improving the health, function, appearance, and overall quality of our patients’ smiles.
The following orthodontics services are designed to straighten teeth, align bite malocclusion, and enhance the harmony of teeth.
Family Orthodontics
La Jolla Cosmetic Dentistry & Orthodontics treats children, teens, and adults with effective orthodontic options for all family members. Early intervention may include functional appliances and palatal expanders to improve overall bite alignment and create more space when crowding is an issue.
Family orthodontic options include traditional braces with metal, ceramic, or clear brackets and lingual braces, which are attached to the back surfaces of teeth.
Invisalign® Clear Dental Aligners
Another discreet way adults and mature teens can get a straighter smile without metal braces is Invisalign® clear aligners. With Invisalign® clear aligners, you can achieve a straighter smile discreetly and typically faster than metal braces. Invisalign® aligners are also removable when eating, brushing, and flossing.
Invisalign® is not typically recommended for children as they may lack the discipline required to wear the aligner trays as directed.
Accelerated Orthodontics for Adults
Complete orthodontic treatment can sometimes take more than three years, depending on the extent of correction needed. With self-ligating braces and other accelerated adult orthodontic techniques, many of our patients achieve the straight smile they desire in as little as six to eight months.
Even with severe tooth crowding and misalignment, Dr. Kohani can combine treatment methods to deliver a straight smile faster than you think.
