Orthodontics

Straighter teeth, a healthier bite, and a smile you are genuinely proud to show off, at any age.

Why Orthodontics

Straight teeth are not just about appearance. Proper alignment protects your long-term oral health.

Misaligned teeth are harder to clean, more prone to wear, and can cause jaw pain and bite problems over time. Orthodontic treatment addresses all of this while giving you a smile that looks and feels completely natural.

1

Traditional Braces

Reliable, precise, and effective for all levels of complexity. Modern brackets are smaller and more comfortable than ever before.

2

Clear Aligners

Removable, nearly invisible trays that straighten teeth discreetly. Ideal for adults and teens who want to treat without disrupting their appearance.

3

Bite Correction

We address overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites that, if left untreated, can lead to jaw pain and uneven tooth wear.

4

Retention

A custom retainer worn after treatment holds your teeth in their corrected position, protecting your investment for the long term.

It is never too late to straighten your smile. And it is easier than you think.

Many adults put off orthodontic treatment because they assume it means years of visible metal braces. Modern clear aligner systems have changed that entirely, offering a discreet and comfortable path to straight teeth.

Beyond appearance, correcting your bite and alignment reduces the risk of chipping, cracking, and grinding, issues that become more costly to fix the longer they are left unaddressed.

At Sebastopol Dental, we assess each patient individually and recommend the treatment that fits their lifestyle, budget, and clinical needs. There is no one-size-fits-all approach here.

We monitor progress closely throughout treatment and are always available to answer questions. Our goal is a result you are proud of and a process that feels manageable from start to finish.

The Process

Your orthodontic journey,
step by step.

01

Orthodontic Consultation

We assess your bite, spacing, and alignment using digital scans and X-rays, then discuss all available options suited to your needs.

02

Treatment Planning

We map out your full treatment timeline, showing you what movement to expect at each stage and how your smile will look at the end.

03

Active Treatment

Whether braces or clear aligners, your teeth are gradually and gently guided into their ideal position over the treatment period.

04

Retention

Once alignment is achieved, a retainer keeps your teeth in their new position so the results last for the rest of your life.

FAQ

Questions we get
asked a lot.

Not at all. We treat patients of all ages. Adult orthodontics is increasingly common, and clear aligner options make it more discreet than ever. The health and aesthetic benefits apply regardless of your age.

Some pressure and mild soreness is normal after adjustments or when switching to a new aligner tray. This usually settles within a day or two. The discomfort is manageable and most patients adjust quickly.

Traditional braces use brackets and wires to move teeth and are highly effective for complex cases. Clear aligners are removable, nearly invisible trays that are ideal for mild to moderate alignment issues and many adult patients.

Treatment time depends on the complexity of your case. Minor corrections may take as little as six months. More involved cases typically take 12 to 24 months. We give you a realistic timeline at your initial consultation.
