Our Pacific Heights Invisalign solution uses clear plastic aligners to gradually shift your teeth into their optimal position without wires or brackets commonly used in traditional braces.
Our Smile Express Refresh option provides you with Invisalign results in 6 months.
Our Pacific Heights SureSmile clear aligners option provides you with Invisalign results in 6 months.
Clearcorrect is an innovative form of orthodontic treatment that works to correct many different types of malocclusions by using a series of clear plastic trays called aligners.
You have options for braces in Pacific Heights. Traditional metal braces are the most common and are more comfortable today than ever before. Made of high-grade stainless steel, metal braces straighten your teeth using brackets and archwires.
Our Pacific Heights clear braces are more subtle than metal braces because they use brackets made from transparent ceramic that blend in with your natural tooth color.
In Pacific Heights, self-ligating braces are a game-changing innovation revolutionizing how we straighten teeth. Self-ligating brackets allow for cleaner, faster, more comfortable results
Our Pacific Heights orthodontists are trained in early diagnosis and treatment of sleep apnea in children to prevent complications that can affect their growth. We can use SomnoDent oral appliances to treat sleep apnea without a CPAP machine.
We treat jaw pain, provide night guards to protect your teeth at night and perform orthodontic intervention, including balancing the surface of your teeth to correct your bite. We want to help you feel better.
You can choose between full payment or monthly installments. Plus, all office visit fees for retainer replacements are waived. Enrolling helps protect your orthodontic investment and keeps your smile perfectly aligned.
