Dental Braces Specialist in Beverly Hills, CA

At Beverly Hills Dental, we provide cutting-edge orthodontic treatments, including dental braces, to help you achieve the stunning, healthy smile you’ve always wanted. Dental braces are specially designed devices that correct alignment issues with your teeth and jaws. Our team applies small brackets to the front of each tooth, which are connected by a thin metal wire. Depending on your unique needs, we may also use other components like bands, elastics, or springs to guide your teeth into their ideal positions.
 
The primary goal of braces is to gradually move your teeth into proper alignment, enhancing both the appearance of your smile and the function of your bite. Braces work by applying gentle, constant pressure, encouraging your teeth to shift over time. The brackets serve as anchors, while the archwire delivers the force needed for realignment. As your teeth move, the surrounding bone adapts through a natural process called bone remodeling.
 
Our experienced orthodontic team will regularly monitor and adjust your braces to ensure optimal results throughout your treatment. Whether your case is simple or complex, we are dedicated to providing personalized care and outstanding outcomes. In just a few months to a few years, you can look forward to straighter teeth, a healthier bite, and new confidence in your smile.

At Beverly Hills Dental, we understand that the ideal time for dental braces varies from patient to patient. Generally, most children are ready for braces once the majority of their permanent teeth have erupted, which typically occurs between ages 9 and 14. However, every smile is unique, and some orthodontic concerns are best addressed earlier. That’s why we recommend an orthodontic evaluation around age 7. This early visit allows our skilled team to identify potential issues and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your child’s needs.
 
Braces aren’t just for kids and teens—healthy adults can benefit from orthodontic treatment as well. Our experienced dentists are committed to helping patients of all ages achieve straighter, healthier smiles. If you’re considering braces for yourself or your child, schedule a consultation. Our team will assess your individual situation and recommend the best timing and treatment options for lasting results.

At Beverly Hills Dental, we understand that each patient’s orthodontic journey is unique. The length of time you’ll need to wear dental braces depends on your individual needs. On average, most of our patients wear braces for about 18 to 24 months. However, some cases can be completed in as little as six months, while more complex situations may require up to three years or more.
 
The exact duration of your treatment depends on several factors, including the severity of your dental misalignment, the type of braces you choose, your age, and how closely you follow our orthodontic instructions. For example, significant bite correction or major misalignments may take longer to address, while younger patients often experience quicker results due to ongoing jaw growth.
 
Our experienced team will work closely with you to monitor your progress, provide regular adjustments, and offer personalized advice on maintaining your braces. Good oral hygiene, attending all scheduled visits, and following our recommendations about foods to avoid and how to care for your braces will help your treatment proceed smoothly and efficiently.
 
Once your braces are removed, we will walk you through the next phase of your smile transformation, which usually involves wearing a retainer to maintain your results. Our goal is to help you preserve your beautiful new smile for years to come. With a focus on personalized, compassionate care, we’re here to support you at every stage of your orthodontic journey. If you have any questions about your treatment or would like to schedule a consultation, don’t hesitate to reach out to us today!

We offer a comprehensive range of orthodontic solutions to help you achieve your best smile. Our practice provides several types of dental braces, each tailored to meet different needs and lifestyle preferences.
 
Traditional metal braces remain a popular and reliable option, using high-grade stainless steel brackets and wires to gently and effectively align your teeth. For patients who prefer a more subtle look, we offer ceramic braces—these work just like metal braces but feature clear or tooth-colored brackets for a more discreet appearance.
 
If you’re interested in a completely hidden option, we also provide lingual braces, which are attached to the back (lingual) surfaces of your teeth, making them invisible from the front. For the utmost convenience and aesthetics, we are proud to offer clear aligners, such as Invisalign. These removable, nearly invisible trays are custom-made to gradually shift your teeth into place with comfort and flexibility.
 
Each type of braces comes with its own benefits regarding effectiveness, appearance, comfort, and cost. During your consultation at Beverly Hills Dental, our experienced orthodontists will work closely with you to determine the most suitable option based on your unique needs and goals.

At Beverly Hills Dental, we understand that deciding to get dental braces is a big step—and it’s natural to have questions about what to expect, especially when it comes to comfort. Braces work by gently and continuously guiding your teeth into their ideal alignment. When you first get your braces at Beverly Hills Dental or come in for an adjustment, you may notice some soreness or sensitivity in your teeth and gums. This is a normal part of the process and typically starts a few hours after your appointment, lasting anywhere from a couple of days up to a week.
 
Many of our patients describe the sensation as a mild ache or tenderness, particularly when biting or chewing. Fortunately, this initial discomfort fades as your mouth adapts to the new pressure. Our team recommends over-the-counter pain relievers to help ease any temporary pain. We also suggest sticking to soft foods and enjoying cold drinks for added relief during this adjustment period.
 
We prioritize making your orthodontic journey as comfortable as possible. If you ever experience significant or ongoing discomfort, don’t hesitate to reach out to our office immediately so we can assist you promptly and ensure your treatment continues smoothly. Throughout your treatment, our caring orthodontic team is here to support you. Most patients find that any initial discomfort is manageable and becomes less noticeable as they get used to their braces.
