Frequently Asked Orthodontic Questions

You do not! Feel free to give us a call to schedule a free consultation with our Los Angeles orthodontist at your convenience.

This is a question we hear quite often from the residents of Los Angeles county. Unfortunately, there’s no set price because various factors may affect the cost, such as the complexity of your case, the duration of the treatment, and the type of braces or appliances needed to straighten your teeth.

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children visit an orthodontist at the age of seven. This initial visit with Dr. Alpan doesn’t necessarily mean starting braces right away. If everything looks fine, Dr. Alpan will simply monitor your child’s dental and facial development and advise you on the best time to begin treatment if necessary.

By tackling orthodontic problems early on, you can simplify and speed up treatment, possibly sparing your child from a more lengthy and complex process later in their teenage or adult years.

Absolutely not! It’s never too late to achieve straight teeth and a beautiful smile. In fact, many adults in the Los Angeles area have often made excellent candidates for clear braces/ Invisalign.

For starters, it’s practically invisible. You won’t have to worry about feeling self-conscious like some people do with wearing metal braces. The custom-fitted plastic aligners are smooth and comfortable, allowing you to easily take them out for eating, brushing, and flossing. The convenience is unmatched, and the treatment is superb for patients of all ages.

Orthodontic treatment has advanced significantly over the years. While braces typically cause some tenderness and soreness for a few days, they are not inherently painful. Any discomfort can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relief. Modern braces are designed to be more comfortable, utilizing technology that minimizes discomfort. We use biocompatible braces and advanced techniques that apply gentle orthodontic force, along with high-quality materials, to help reduce both discomfort and treatment time.

Dr. Alpan will address any concerns, take photos/notes and x-rays if needed, and conduct a comprehensive examination. He’ll discuss your further treatment options, answer any questions regarding braces, and provide you with the information necessary to make the best decision for your care. Our team will ensure you feel comfortable and relaxed, so you can leave everything to us.
