Orthodontics in Beverly Hills & Northridge, CA

Orthodontics

Laser Dentistry in CA

Crooked teeth, crowded arches, and bite problems affect more than your appearance. They make cleaning harder, put stress on your jaw, and wear down your enamel over time. Orthodontic treatment at Smile Boutique Group corrects these issues with precision, giving you a properly aligned bite and a smile you can be confident in every day.

We serve patients in Beverly Hills and Northridge, CA, combining advanced orthodontic technology with personalized treatment plans designed around your goals, timeline, and budget.

What Is Orthodontics?

Orthodontics is a specialty branch of dentistry focused on diagnosing and correcting misaligned teeth and jaws. It addresses problems like crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites. Treatment works by applying controlled, steady pressure to move teeth into their correct positions over time.

At Smile Boutique Group, our orthodontic care goes beyond straightening teeth. We evaluate your full bite function and jaw alignment to deliver results that last.

Orthodontic Conditions We Treat

Our team evaluates and treats a full range of alignment concerns, including:

  • Crowded teeth: When teeth overlap because there is not enough space in the arch.
  • Spacing and gaps: Extra space between teeth that affects bite function and appearance.
  • Overbite: Upper front teeth that extend too far over the lower teeth.
  • Underbite: Lower teeth that protrude in front of the upper teeth.
  • Crossbite: Upper and lower teeth that do not meet correctly when you bite down.
  • Open bite: Upper and lower front teeth that do not touch when the mouth is closed.
  • Dental midline misalignment: When the center of your upper and lower teeth does not line up.

If you are unsure whether you need orthodontic care, a consultation at either of our locations gives you a clear diagnosis and a specific treatment recommendation.

Benefits of Orthodontic Treatment

Orthodontic treatment improves more than smile appearance. It supports better bite function, easier daily hygiene, and long-term oral health by guiding teeth and jaws into healthier alignment.

  • Easier Brushing and Flossing: Crowded or overlapping teeth create tight spaces where plaque builds up easily. Orthodontic treatment improves tooth position, making it easier to brush and floss properly every day.
  • Better Bite Function: A properly aligned bite helps your upper and lower teeth meet more evenly. This reduces unnecessary stress on certain teeth and supports more comfortable chewing.
  • Reduced Risk of Tooth Wear: When teeth do not meet properly, some areas experience excessive pressure. Over time, this can lead to enamel wear, chips, or sensitivity. Orthodontic care helps distribute bite force more evenly.
  • Improved Jaw Comfort: Bite problems can place strain on the jaw joints and surrounding muscles. Correcting alignment issues may help reduce jaw tension, uneven pressure, and discomfort linked to poor bite balance.
  • More Confidence in Your Smile: Straighter teeth can improve how you feel when speaking, smiling, and taking photos. Whether you choose Invisalign, braces, or ceramic braces, orthodontic treatment helps create a smile that looks balanced and feels natural.

Orthodontic Treatment Options at Smile Boutique Group

We offer multiple orthodontic solutions to fit your lifestyle and clinical needs.

Invisalign Clear Aligners

Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, clear, removable aligner trays to gradually shift your teeth. Each set of trays moves your teeth closer to their final position. You switch to a new set every one to two weeks. Because the aligners are transparent and removable, they fit into daily life without disrupting it.

Invisalign works well for:

  • Mild to moderate crowding and spacing.
  • Certain bite corrections.
  • Adults and teens who want a discreet option.
  • Patients who want to remove their aligners to eat and clean their teeth normally.

Traditional Braces

Metal braces remain one of the most effective and precise tools in orthodontics. Brackets bond directly to your teeth, and an archwire runs through them to guide tooth movement. Your orthodontist adjusts the wire at regular appointments to keep treatment progressing.

Braces address a wide range of alignment issues, including complex bite problems that require more control than aligners can provide.

Ceramic Braces

Ceramic braces work the same way as metal braces, but the brackets are tooth-colored or clear. They are less visible and suit patients who want the precision of traditional braces with a more subtle look.

Orthodontic Retainers

After active orthodontic treatment ends, your teeth need time to stabilize in their new positions. Retainers hold your results in place and prevent your teeth from shifting back. We fit you for retainers at the end of treatment and provide clear instructions on how to wear and care for them.

Why Orthodontic Treatment Matters Beyond Appearance

Straight teeth are easier to brush and floss. Proper alignment reduces the risk of gum disease, tooth decay, and jaw problems. Patients who correct bite issues also report less jaw tension and fewer headaches over time.

Orthodontic treatment at any age produces real, lasting health benefits. Adults make up a growing percentage of orthodontic patients, and modern options like clear aligners have made treatment more practical than ever.

FAQs

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an initial orthodontic evaluation by age seven. At this stage, a specialist identifies emerging alignment issues and determines whether early intervention is appropriate or whether monitoring is the better approach. Treatment does not have to start at seven. Orthodontic care is appropriate and effective at any age.

Treatment length depends on the complexity of your case. Minor alignment issues with clear aligners resolve within 6 to 12 months. More complex cases using braces take eighteen to thirty-six months on average. At your consultation, we give you a projected timeline based on your specific situation.

Yes. Retainers hold your teeth in their corrected positions after treatment ends. Teeth naturally tend to shift back over time without retention. We provide retainers upon completing your treatment and advise you on how long and how often to wear them.

Many dental insurance plans include an orthodontic benefit, though coverage limits vary. We review your insurance before treatment begins and provide a clear breakdown of your estimated out-of-pocket costs. Financing options through Cherry, Sunbit, and CareCredit are available to cover the remaining balance.
