Orthodontic Treatments In Los Angeles, Built Around Your Whole Health
Our Treatment Options
Looking for the right orthodontic treatment in Los Angeles, but not sure where to start? Braces, clear aligners, jaw care, there are a lot of options, and the truth is that the best one depends entirely on you.
At Alpan Orthodontics, treatment does not start with an appliance. It starts with your face, your bite, your jaw, and your airway, treated as one connected system. Then Dr. Alpan builds a plan around all of it, using the tools that fit your case. Here is a look at what the practice offers and how each treatment helps.
Straightening That Fits Your Life
Straight teeth are what most people come in for, and there is more than one way to get there. The right choice depends on your case, your look, and how you live.
If you want a nearly invisible option, clear aligners let you straighten without metal showing, and Dr. Alpan has treated with them since 1999, including complex cases some people are told are too hard for aligners. Prefer braces? Today’s braces are smaller and more comfortable than what you may remember, in metal, gold, or clear.
For a truly tailored fit, custom 3D-printed braces are made for the exact shape of your teeth, which helps shape a result that suits your face. And for adults who want no one to know, there are braces that sit behind your teeth, hidden from view.
Care That Goes Beyond Straight Teeth
Here is what sets this practice apart. Alpan Orthodontics treats the smile, the bite, the face, the TMJ, and the airway because everything is connected.
If you deal with jaw pain, clicking, or headaches, TMJ and jaw treatment looks at the root of the problem, not just the symptoms. Dr. Alpan’s master’s thesis focused on the TMJ, so this is an area of real depth.
Trouble breathing, snoring, or a child who breathes through their mouth can also be part of the orthodontic picture. Airway orthodontics and sleep apnea appliances can help you or your child breathe and sleep better, using approaches Dr. Alpan has spent thousands of hours training to deliver.
Treatment For Every Age And Stage
Orthodontic care is not just for teenagers. The right time to start depends on the person.
For kids, early orthodontic care can catch problems while the jaw is still growing, though many young children just need a yearly checkup until the timing is right. For grown-ups, adult orthodontics meets you where you are, even if you were told years ago that your case was too complicated. And when something suddenly hurts or breaks, emergency orthodontic care is there when you need it.
Advanced Treatments And The Finishing Touches
Some smiles need more than straightening, and the details at the end are what make a smile truly finished.
For complex bites, surgical orthodontics and temporary anchorage devices (TADs) give Dr. Alpan precise control over how teeth and jaws move. When treatment is done, the finishing work begins: the bite is fine-tuned, the edges of the teeth can be shaped, and the gum line can be gently contoured with a soft-tissue laser so everything fits your face.
Want to finish sooner? Gentle acceleration methods can help many patients complete treatment up to around 30 percent faster, with results that hold. And when you are ready to brighten things up, teeth whitening adds the final shine.
Keeping Your Smile For Life
A straight smile is worth protecting, so your care does not end when your braces come off.
Retainers hold your teeth in place, and the practice’s lifetime retention program keeps you coming back for yearly check-ins for life. It is part of the Alpan Smile Guarantee: a plan designed by Dr. Alpan, and results are looked after for the long run.
Why Patients Across LA Choose Alpan Orthodontics
With so many choices, why does it matter where you go? Because the plan behind the treatment is everything.
Every plan at the practice is designed by Dr. Alpan himself, the orthodontist who has created more than 25,000 treatment plans and trained over 12,000 doctors worldwide. His approach favors keeping your natural teeth and widening the arch instead of pulling permanent teeth, in about 99 percent of cases, to protect your airway and the shape of your face.
You can also ask your questions in English or Spanish, since the team is fully bilingual. And with seven offices around LA County, from Downtown LA and Century City to Larchmont, Pasadena, Woodland Hills, Van Nuys, and Inglewood, specialty orthodontic care is close to home.
Common Questions About Orthodontic Treatment
What orthodontic treatments does Alpan Orthodontics offer?
The practice offers clear aligners, braces in metal, gold, and clear, custom 3D-printed braces, and hidden braces, along with TMJ care, airway orthodontics, and sleep apnea appliances. It also provides early and adult orthodontics, surgical orthodontics, retainers, and finishing touches like whitening. Every treatment is planned by Dr. Alpan around your whole health.
Which orthodontic treatment is right for me?
That depends on your case, your goals, and how your bite, jaw, and airway are working together. During your consultation, Dr. Alpan examines all of it and designs a plan using the treatment that fits you best. You will leave understanding your options, not just holding a quote.
Do you treat adults, or just kids and teens?
Both. Alpan Orthodontics treats children, teens, and adults, including adults who were told years ago that their case was too complicated. It is never too late to fix a bite or straighten a smile.
Can treatment be finished faster?
In many cases, yes. Gentle acceleration methods can help patients finish up to around 30 percent faster on average, often with less soreness. The goal is a quicker finish with a result that lasts, not speed that trades away quality.
Do you offer treatment for jaw pain or breathing problems?
Yes. TMJ and jaw treatment addresses pain, clicking, and headaches, while airway orthodontics and sleep apnea appliances help with breathing and sleep. These are areas of real focus for Dr. Alpan, who is both a TMJ specialist and airway-trained.
