Orthodontic Braces in Gardena, CA
What is Orthodontic Braces

What Are Orthodontic Braces?

Orthodontic braces are devices used to correct dental misalignments, including crooked teeth, gaps, and bite issues such as overbite, underbite, and crossbite. They work by applying gentle, continuous pressure that gradually moves your teeth into their desired positions. Brackets bond to the front of each tooth, and archwires connect them and apply that pressure. Ligatures and bands secure the archwire and can be adjusted at different stages of treatment. Our experienced orthodontist plans each stage around your own alignment issues and goals.

The Benefits of Orthodontic Braces

Improved Health

Straight teeth are easier to clean and maintain, which lowers your risk of cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues over the course of years of daily wear.

Better Function

Braces correct the bite problems that affect how you chew and speak, which makes both eating and speaking far more comfortable and efficient every day of your life.

Boosted Confidence

A straight, attractive smile enhances your self-esteem at school, at work, in job interviews, and at every social event that you happen to attend through the years.

Long-Term Results

Braces deliver long-lasting results when paired with proper aftercare such as wearing retainers, so the investment you make now pays off for a lifetime to come.

Our Step-by-Step Process

From your first exam to the final result, here's exactly what to expect — calm, clear, and never rushed.

Request an Appointment
  1. 01

    Initial Consultation

    Our experienced orthodontist assesses your oral health, discusses your goals, and takes X-rays, photographs, and impressions of every tooth.

  2. 02

    Custom Planning

    We develop a personalized treatment plan built around your specific alignment issues and the results you would like to reach by the end of it.

  3. 03

    Braces Placement

    We clean your teeth, attach the brackets with a special adhesive, and thread the archwire through in about one to two hours from start to finish.

  4. 04

    Regular Adjustments

    You visit our office every four to eight weeks so that we can adjust the wire and keep your teeth moving along on schedule toward that goal.

  5. 05

    Retention Phase

    Once your braces come off, a retainer holds your newly aligned teeth in place and protects that result over the long term for years afterward.

Signs You May Need Orthodontic Braces

Crooked Teeth

Your teeth are crooked, rotated, or overlapping each other, and that crowding has become noticeable in most of your photographs and conversations.

Bite Problems

You have an overbite, an underbite, or a crossbite that makes chewing uncomfortable and puts uneven pressure on your teeth every time that you eat.

Visible Gaps

Gaps between your teeth collect food and stand out in your photographs, and they have shown no sign of closing on their own over recent years.

Cleaning Difficulty

Overlapping teeth make brushing and flossing genuinely difficult for you, so plaque builds up in all of the places you cannot reach with a brush.
