For a moment at least, be a smile on someone else’s face. – Dejan Stojanovic, The Sun Watches the Sun

Have you ever flashed a smile at someone and watch his or her face light up? It’s a great feeling to share joy with others with something that is so easy to do, and costs nothing. A lovely smile starts with the lips, spreads to the teeth, and reaches to the eyes to touch a person’s soul. Beautiful teeth can be yours with help from an orthodontist.

What to expect

Manhattan Beach orthodontics provide professional care from a team of thorough, detail-oriented experts who can make you look and feel like a million dollars. Using state-of-the-art techniques, your teeth can be straightened, aligned, or removed if necessary to create an even, attractive set of upper and lower teeth. Filling gaps, adjusting tipped teeth, and removing embedded teeth from the gum line will make your mouth more comfortable and functional for smiling, eating, and speaking.

The Exam

Beginning with a comprehensive exam that includes panoramic x-rays, the orthodontist will explain recommendations for improving the dental structures. A timeline and payment plan will also be discussed. Beach Braces offers an affordable and practical approach to orthodontic care for the entire family that will have everyone looking fantastic in a relatively short amount of time.

Patients will be scheduled to meet with the team every few months for status updates. Adjustments can be made if needed. The patient’s role is minimal but important to the overall success of orthodontic treatment. When the braces finally come off, upper or lower retainers, or both, may be prescribed and designed to help keep the teeth in their new positions. Retainers might be worn for a few years only, or could be helpful for the foreseeable future.

Let Manhattan Beach Braces bring out your most beautiful smile, like the sun on a cloudy day. Contact us  for an appointment to discuss treatment options.
