Braces and Invisalign for Every Age
Cerritos patients can choose from four treatment options at our Pioneer Blvd. office. Each one straightens teeth well. The right pick depends on your bite, your goals, and your routine.
| Treatment | What it is | A good fit for |
|---|---|---|
| Metal braces | MicroArch brackets with a smaller profile than many metal braces, so they feel comfortable and clean easily | Kids, teens, and adults who want a fixed, dependable option |
| Clear ceramic braces | Innovation-C ceramic brackets that work like metal braces with a more discreet look | Teens and adults who want braces that show less |
| Invisalign | A series of clear, removable aligners that straighten teeth without brackets or wires | Teens and adults with busy schedules who want a discreet, removable option |
| Retainers | Fixed or removable retainers that hold your new smile in place | Every patient after treatment |
Children: We recommend a first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. Some children need early treatment to fix issues before they grow into bigger problems. Others will be ready a few years later, and we tell you which path fits your child.
Teens: Many Cerritos teens attend ABC Unified School District schools, including Cerritos High School and Whitney High School. The same district serves the neighborhood around our office. We offer teens braces and Invisalign, and we teach them how retainers protect their results for years. If a bracket pops loose before a big game, our guide to orthodontic emergencies covers what to do.
Adults: More adults choose orthodontic treatment than ever. Whether this is your first time or you need a touch-up, we have options that fit your lifestyle.
