Orthodontic Treatments in Simi Valley, CA
Orthodontic treatment can enhance not only your appearance, but your confidence, health, and quality of life.
At your complimentary consultation, 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.
FAQs About Orthodontic Treatments
Who needs orthodontics?
Orthodontic treatment can benefit children, teens, and adults with concerns related to tooth alignment, bite, or jaw development.
You may benefit from orthodontics if you have:
- Crowded, crooked, or spaced teeth
- An overbite, underbite, crossbite, or open bite
- Difficulty chewing or biting comfortably
- Teeth that wear unevenly
- Shifting teeth or changes in your smile over time
Because children’s jaws are still developing, early treatment can sometimes help guide growth and prevent more complex issues later on.
But orthodontics isn’t just for kids. Adults can benefit too, and modern options like clear aligners and discreet braces make treatment more convenient than ever.
How do I know which orthodontic treatment is best for me?
You don’t have to figure it out on your own. We’ll help you decide during your complimentary consultation.
After a thorough smile exam, board-certified orthodontist Dr. Albert will help you understand your needs, explain your treatment options, and guide you toward the solution that best fits your smile, goals, and lifestyle.
Can orthodontics help with sleep apnea?
In some cases, yes. Certain orthodontic treatments and oral appliances can help improve airflow by supporting the position of the jaw, tongue, and airway.
For some patients, treatment may be recommended to help address underlying issues like a narrow upper jaw, bite problems, or other structural concerns that can contribute to breathing issues during sleep.
Because sleep apnea is a medical condition, the right treatment depends on the cause and severity of the problem.
Dr. Albert may work alongside a sleep physician or ENT to determine the best approach for your needs.
Do you offer financing for orthodontic treatment?
Yes, we offer flexible financing options to help make orthodontic treatment fit comfortably into your budget.
Our office offers:
- Flexible monthly payment plans
- 0% interest financing
- Pay-in-full discounts
- Family member discounts
- FSA and HSA payments accepted
We’re happy to walk you through your options and help you find a payment plan that works for your needs.
When should my child see an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7.
This visit allows us to monitor jaw growth and developing teeth and determine if or when treatment may be needed.
Do you accept insurance for orthodontics?
Yes, we accept insurance and are happy to help make the process as simple as possible.
You can view a list of the insurance plans we work with on our financing page. If you don’t see your provider listed or have any questions about your coverage, feel free to reach out to our team.
We’re always happy to help and will handle the paperwork for you whenever possible.
