Our Approach

Comprehensive and Personalized Orthodontic Care

Thorough Assessment and Diagnosis

Our approach begins with a thorough assessment of your dental and facial structure using the latest diagnostic tools, including digital X-rays and 3D imaging. This comprehensive evaluation allows us to accurately diagnose any orthodontic issues and understand the underlying causes. By gathering detailed information about your dental health, we can create a customized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs. This initial step ensures that we have a clear understanding of your condition, enabling us to design the most effective and efficient treatment strategy.

Once we have a complete understanding of your orthodontic needs, we develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific requirements. Whether you are dealing with crowding, spacing, misalignment, or bite issues, our goal is to design an orthodontic solution that provides both functional and aesthetic benefits. We take the time to explain your treatment options, answer any questions you may have, and involve you in every step of the decision-making process. This collaborative approach ensures that you are fully informed and confident in your treatment plan.

Early Orthodontic Treatment Mission Viejo, CA

Early Orthodontic Treatment

Setting the Foundation for a Healthy Smile

Early orthodontic treatment, also known as interceptive orthodontics, is crucial for addressing dental issues in children before they become more severe. By evaluating and treating young patients at an early stage, we can guide the growth of their teeth and jaws, preventing more complex problems in the future. This proactive approach can significantly reduce the need for extensive treatments later in life.

Early treatment often includes the use of dental appliances such as expanders, which help to widen the upper jaw to make room for permanent teeth, or space maintainers, which keep space open for teeth that are yet to come in. Partial braces may also be used to correct specific issues such as crowding, misalignment, and bite problems. By intervening early, we can influence the development of the jaw and teeth, ensuring they grow into the proper position.

Our goal is to create a healthy, functional, and beautiful smile that will last a lifetime. Early orthodontic treatment not only improves dental health but also boosts a child's confidence by enhancing their smile at a young age. With our expert care and advanced techniques, we provide a solid foundation for your child's future oral health.

Traditional and Modern Solutions for Teeth Alignment

Braces

Braces are one of the most common and effective orthodontic treatments for correcting misaligned teeth and jaws. We offer a variety of braces options to cater to the diverse needs of our patients. Traditional metal braces are highly effective and suitable for correcting even the most complex alignment issues. These braces are durable and have stood the test of time in providing reliable results.

For those seeking a more aesthetic option, ceramic braces are an excellent choice. These braces use tooth-colored brackets that blend in with your natural teeth, making them less noticeable. They offer the same level of effectiveness as metal braces but with a more subtle appearance.

Self-ligating braces are another modern solution we offer. These braces use a specialized clip instead of elastic bands, which reduces friction and makes adjustments more comfortable. This innovative design can also speed up the treatment process and make it easier to maintain good oral hygiene.

Our team will help you choose the best type of braces based on your specific needs and preferences, ensuring that you receive the most effective treatment for a straight, beautiful smile.

Invisalign

Invisalign is a popular orthodontic treatment that uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. These custom-made aligners are virtually invisible, offering a subtle alternative to traditional braces. They can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing, making them a convenient option for busy lifestyles and maintaining good oral hygiene.

Invisalign is ideal for treating mild to moderate alignment issues and is suitable for both teens and adults. The treatment process involves creating a personalized plan using advanced 3D imaging technology, which ensures precise and effective results. Patients receive a series of aligners that gradually shift their teeth into the desired position.

With Invisalign, you can achieve a beautiful smile without the hassle of traditional braces. The aligners are comfortable to wear and require fewer visits to the orthodontist for adjustments, making the treatment process straightforward and efficient. Our team at Vartanian Dental Group is dedicated to helping you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted with this innovative and discreet solution.
