Braces for Children & Teens in Encino
Properly timed orthodontic treatment can help guide developing teeth into healthier positions and address problems before they become more difficult to correct.
We evaluate children and teenagers for orthodontic concerns such as:
- Crowded or crooked teeth
- Gaps and spacing
- Overbites and underbites
- Deep bites
- Open bites
- Crossbites
- Teeth erupting in unfavorable positions
- Other tooth and bite alignment concerns
Not every child needs braces immediately. After evaluating your child’s teeth, bite, and dental development, Dr. Tebbi can explain whether treatment is recommended now or whether continued observation may be appropriate.
Our goal is to make orthodontic treatment comfortable and understandable for both children and their parents.
Adult Braces in Encino
It’s never too late to improve your smile.
Many adults choose braces to straighten crowded or rotated teeth, close spaces, improve their bite, or enhance the overall appearance of their smile.
Adult orthodontics can also play an important role in comprehensive cosmetic and restorative dentistry. Moving teeth into better positions before veneers, crowns, implants, or other dental treatment may help create a more harmonious final result when clinically appropriate.
Because orthodontic and cosmetic dental care are available within our practice, we can consider your entire smile when developing your treatment plan.
Traditional Metal Braces
Traditional braces remain a highly effective and predictable orthodontic treatment for many types of tooth and bite problems.
Small brackets are attached to the teeth and connected by orthodontic wires. Gentle, controlled forces gradually guide the teeth toward their planned positions.
Modern braces are more streamlined than many patients remember and can be an excellent option for children, teenagers, and adults.
Clear Braces
For patients who want braces that are less noticeable, clear or tooth-colored braces may provide many of the benefits of traditional braces while blending more naturally with the teeth.
During your orthodontic consultation, we can discuss whether clear braces are suitable for your particular treatment needs.
Braces vs. Clear Aligners
One of the most common questions patients ask is whether braces or clear aligners are the better choice. There is no single answer that is right for everyone.
Traditional braces provide continuous control over tooth movement and can be particularly useful when more complex movements are required.
Clear aligners are removable and offer a discreet alternative for many appropriate orthodontic cases.
The right choice depends on factors such as your tooth alignment, bite, treatment complexity, lifestyle, and personal preferences. After examining your smile, Dr. Tebbi can explain the advantages of each option and recommend an approach based on your individual needs.
More Than Straight Teeth: Orthodontics With a Cosmetic Perspective
A beautiful smile involves more than simply making teeth straight. Tooth position, proportions, symmetry, bite, gum display, and the relationship between the teeth and face can all influence the appearance of a smile.
As a practice providing both cosmetic dentistry and orthodontic treatment in Encino, we take these factors into consideration when planning orthodontic care.
For patients who may eventually benefit from additional cosmetic or restorative dentistry, orthodontic treatment can also be coordinated with the overall dental plan when appropriate.
The objective is simple: a smile that looks good, functions properly, and is designed around you.

Frequently Asked Questions About Braces
What is the best age for braces?
There is no single ideal age for every patient. Children can benefit from an orthodontic evaluation while their teeth and jaws are developing. Many teenagers begin comprehensive orthodontic treatment after most permanent teeth have erupted. Adults can also be excellent candidates for braces.
Can adults get braces?
Yes. Adults frequently choose orthodontic treatment to straighten crowded teeth, close spaces, improve their bite, or enhance their smile.
How long will I need braces?
Treatment time varies considerably depending on the type and severity of the orthodontic problem, the movements required, and how the individual patient responds to treatment. After an orthodontic evaluation, we can provide a more personalized estimate.
Are braces painful?
You may experience temporary pressure or tenderness when braces are first placed or following adjustments. This typically improves as your mouth adapts.
Do you offer clear braces?
Clear or tooth-colored braces may be available for appropriate patients who would like a less noticeable alternative to traditional metal braces.
How do I know whether I need braces or clear aligners?
The best way to determine this is through an orthodontic evaluation. Your teeth, bite, treatment goals, and the complexity of the movements needed all help determine which treatment option may be most appropriate.
Do you provide braces for children and teenagers?
Yes. We evaluate children and teenagers for orthodontic treatment and recommend timing based on their individual dental development and orthodontic needs.
