Getting Started

Before braces are placed, patients must visit a dentist for an exam and have any necessary fillings. Patients should visit the dentist every 6 months for a thorough examination and cleaning. If you do not have a dentist we can recommend a great one for you and your family. Before each orthodontic appointment, patients are encouraged to brush their teeth. Toothbrushes and toothpaste are provided in the office.

Convenient Appointments

Your appointments are scheduled to fit your busy lifestyle. Our staff makes every effort to accommodate each patient’s schedule. In order to help us continue to schedule efficiently, 24 hour notice is required to cancel an appointment. Our Irvine and Upland office hours are 6:45 AM to 4:00 PM Monday through Thursday and one Tuesday a month in Upland 1:00 PM to 7:00 PM.

Treatment Time

Treatment may last from 18 to 30 months, though this will vary depending on your individual case. Appointments are typically scheduled from 4 to 12 weeks apart. Your cooperation in keeping scheduled orthodontic appointments, maintaining proper hygiene and taking care of your braces may allow you to finish your orthodontic treatment early.

Communication

Following each appointment we will review your childs orthodontic treatment progress. We will inform you and your child on what to expect for the next appointment. Any questions you may have will be answered at this time.

After hours, you may contact us for emergencies at 949-294-7002.
