Orthodontic Treatment Options
Personalized Orthodontic Treatment in Simi Valley, CA
Orthodontic treatment can enhance not only your appearance, but your confidence, health, and quality of life.
At your complimentary consultation, ABO-Board Certified orthodontist Dr. Albert will evaluate your smile, explain your options clearly, and help you choose the treatment that best aligns with your needs and lifestyle.
Braces
We provide both traditional metal braces and discreet clear braces in Simi Valley.
Dr. Albert uses advanced indirect bonding that ensures your brackets are placed with the highest degree of precision and accuracy.
We also offer Same Day Braces, so you can have braces placed on your very first visit if you’re ready to get started.
Our goal is to achieve your desired results quickly and predictably.
Invisalign® Clear Aligners
Straighten your smile with a treatment that fits your lifestyle as beautifully as it fits your teeth.
Invisalign aligners are clear, comfortable, and removable, giving you a more discreet, flexible way to achieve a confident smile.
Dr. Albert provides Invisalign for teens and adults, with digital remote monitoring that reduces office visits.
Early Orthodontic Treatment
The AAO advises that children receive their first orthodontic assessment by age 7, but that doesn’t mean we’ll recommend that treatment starts right away.
Early orthodontic care is about thoughtful guidance, not rushing into treatment.
Dr. Albert focuses on monitoring smile growth, ensuring that their teeth and bones are developing properly, and recommending early interceptive care only when it’s truly needed.
If your child isn’t ready for treatment yet, they’ll get to join our Kids Club for complimentary observation visits.
Orthodontics for Teens
The teen years are fundamental for building confidence and strong self-esteem.
If orthodontic care is recommended, treating during the teen years allows us to work with the natural growth of the smile, jaws, and facial bones for more effective, efficient results.
Our Simi Valley teens can choose from Invisalign, clear braces or metal braces with colored rubber bands to suit their style.
Plus, with ceiling-mounted TVs above each exam chair, an iPad bar and beverage station, our office is designed for tech-savvy teens!
Orthodontics for Adults
It’s never too late to invest in a healthy, confident smile, whether you’re 27 or 70.
Dr. Albert creates natural-looking, balanced smiles with discreet options like Invisalign clear aligners and ceramic clear braces.
Treatment is designed to fit your lifestyle, so you can improve your smile comfortably and confidently.
Retainers
Once you achieve your new smile, you’ll want to keep it in its best condition for life.
A beautiful smile is worth protecting, and wearing your retainers consistently is how you ensure that.
After braces or clear aligner treatment, you’ll receive a set of custom retainers that keep your smile beautifully aligned long after treatment ends.
TADs (Temporary Anchorage Devices)
Temporary anchorage devices (TADs) are temporary dental implants embedded into the bone to create an “anchor” that assists with tooth movement.
These appliances are generally used when certain teeth require shifting and others don’t, allowing us to treat individual teeth with greater efficiency.
Space Maintainers
With space maintenance appliances used in children’s orthodontics, we can preserve space in the mouth to allow for permanent teeth to emerge in alignment.
These specialized appliances can prevent teeth from growing crowded or crooked, and ensure that your little one’s smile is developing on the right path.
Palatal Expander
In cases where the jaws are too narrow to accommodate all teeth, Dr. Albert may include an orthodontic appliance in your child’s personalized treatment plan.
These specialized appliances are placed in the roof of the mouth and are activated over time to gently widen the palate.
Palatal expansion can help open the airway to improve breathing, widen the upper jaw to reduce crowding, and preserve space for developing teeth.
Surgical Orthodontics
In some cases, once jaw growth is complete in the later teen years or in adulthood, orthodontic treatment with braces or Invisalign alone may not fully correct the problem.
When jaw surgery is recommended, Dr. Albert partners with trusted surgeons to carefully coordinate care and guide you through the process.
Our focus is on early, interceptive care whenever possible to help guide growth and reduce the need for more invasive treatment later.
