Elevate your confidence and your health. Whether you’re a professional at SpaceX, a business owner in El Segundo, or a busy parent, we offer modern orthodontic solutions designed to fit your adult lifestyle.

It’s More Than Just a Better Smile

Many of our Hawthorne patients seek treatment to correct issues that have bothered them for years. Adult orthodontics can:

  • Improve Oral Health: Straighter teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of gum disease and decay as you age.

  • Relieve Jaw Pain: Correcting a misaligned bite can alleviate symptoms of TMJ and chronic headaches.

  • Boost Professional Confidence: A healthy, aligned smile is a powerful tool in social and professional settings.

  • Prevent Tooth Wear: Properly aligned teeth distribute biting force evenly, preventing premature chipping or thinning of enamel.

Straighten Your Teeth Without the "Metal Mouth"

We understand that discretion is key for our adult patients. We offer several "nearly invisible" options:

  • Invisalign® Clear Aligners: The #1 choice for adults. These removable, transparent trays allow you to straighten your teeth without anyone noticing. You can eat what you want and brush/floss with ease.

  • Ceramic (Clear) Braces: These work like traditional braces but use tooth-colored or clear brackets and wires that blend in with your natural teeth.

  • Accelerated Treatment: Using the latest technology, we can often complete adult cases faster than traditional methods, moving you toward your goal efficiently.

Convenient, Specialized Care in the South Bay

  • Multi-Specialty Coordination: Since we are also your general dental home, we can coordinate cleanings and restorative work (like crowns or veneers) alongside your orthodontic plan.

  • Flexible Appointments: We offer early morning and evening slots to ensure your treatment doesn't interfere with your workday.

Transparent Financing: We offer 0% interest financing and low monthly payments, making your dream smile an affordable reality.

Adult Orthodontics FAQ

H2: Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q: Am I too old for braces?

    • A: Never! About one in four orthodontic patients today is an adult. As long as your gums and bone structure are healthy, you are a candidate for treatment.

  • Q: How long does adult treatment take?

    • A: On average, adult cases take 12 to 22 months, but minor aesthetic "touch-ups" can often be finished in less than a year.

  • Q: Do I still need to see my general dentist for cleanings?

    • A: Yes! Maintaining gum health is even more critical during orthodontic treatment. Since we are a multi-specialty office in Hawthorne, you can do both in one visit.

  • Q: Will I have to wear a retainer afterward?

A: Yes. To prevent "relapse" (teeth moving back), a retainer is necessary. We offer discreet fixed and removable options.
