Orthodontics for Children
Sometimes it's appropriate to begin treating certain dental conditions when a patient is very young. The American Association of Orthodontists and Ventura County Orthodontics recommend that everyone age seven and older have an orthodontic evaluation.
Often, treatment won't begin until adolescence, but it's nice to have a plan and peace of mind. Getting a head start on orthodontic care is the best way to give your child a lifetime of smiles!
By this age, your child will have enough teeth for Dr. Lee or Dr. Mullen to find and fix their main problem by detecting developing issues and determining the underlying cause.
He’ll also look for signs that braces will be necessary down the road. Catching orthodontic issues early gives Dr. Lee and Dr. Mullen the best opportunity to treat them proactively and avoid more complicated problems later.
Early treatment can often achieve results that may not be possible when your child’s teeth and jaw are fully developed.
Our team will give your child personalized care and do whatever it takes to make them comfortable. Every child is as unique as their smile, and with Dr. Lee, they’ll feel like the star of the show.
Orthodontics for Teens
Modern teens stay connected through social media, so there’s a big emphasis on appearance. A perfect smile can be an insecurity for many teens, but Dr. Lee or Dr. Mullen can help them get the look they want.
The biggest concern we hear from our teenage patients is that treatment will make them stand out—and not in a good way. Thankfully, we have several options to straighten smiles without the appearance of metal brackets, wires, and bands.
Our orthodontists will help your teen live their best life with a custom treatment plan that fits their lifestyle. They’ll even have a say in which appliance we choose to help them feel confident and motivated throughout treatment.
Orthodontics for Adults
Orthodontic treatment isn’t just for kids and teens—you can get the smile you’ve always wanted at any age! Dr. Lee or Dr. Mullen will examine your teeth and jaw to create a customized treatment plan to meet your needs and give you a smile that makes you feel like a million bucks.
Whether you’ve noticed your teeth shifting as you get older or have always been self-conscious about your smile, you’ll get the results you want at our Oxnard and Santa Paula offices. You can choose from the latest orthodontic treatment options, including modern metal or clear braces and clear aligners.
Also, orthodontic treatment is often recommended by dentists in conjunction with various dental procedures such as implants, veneers, crowns, and bridges.
Leaving misaligned teeth untreated can cause more serious problems, including cavities, tooth decay, jaw pain, headaches, and more. Orthodontic treatment as an adult can bring your teeth into alignment, giving you a beautiful smile and better overall health.
Tune-ups
Sometimes smiles can fade with time. Dr. Lee and Dr. Mullen can help restore your confidence.
It’s nice to fine-tune the look of teeth that were previously straightened through braces.
