Braces in Los Angeles

Orthodontists in Los Angeles California

My teeth are too crooked and crowded to start with invisalign, but I’m 18 years old and I don’t want metal braces for three years. Could I get traditional braces now and in about a year or so move to invisalign?

I just got Self Ligating Braces on Yesterday. However, I forgot to ask the orthodontist a question about them. How long will I have to continue to wear them once my teeth look straight. He said they should be straight in about a month ( my teeth are not that bad). How long will I have to wear the actual brackets before I start to use a retainer?
Has anyone else used speed braces before? If so, how did you have to wear them?
Thanks

I am 23 and just found out that I need braces. My current insurance plan doesn’t cover since I am past their age limit. Any good individual plans that cover orthodontics?

I’m a high school sophomore and I’m going to be interning at my orthodontist’s office. What classes will i need to take to become an orthoodontist? Also, What steps will i have to take to become a general dentist to become an orthodontist? Are there any books or college textbooks you recommend?
By the way, I want to go to college in texas, what colleges or universities do you recommend?

I know some people think I’m crazy but I have perfect teeth but I find braces cute and my family can’t afford for me to have braces for no reason and all my friends have braces and I just have glasses but I wanna fit in with braces any tips or sites or ideas for fake re-usable braces that look real???? I’m really desperate!

My local dentist in Southern CA states the cost is $4100.00. Does this sound right to anyone? My dental plan only covers $550. Any advice? Thanks!

I was just wondering, if i went to school for dental assistant, if i’d have to do something extra or different to work in orthodontics? I asked the receptionist at my dentist office, but she was no help. Thanks!

I’m in highschool and im seriously considering orthodontistry but of course i would have to go to a 4-year university and then try to get into dentistry school. My orthodontist has 4 practices of his own all in one state. What would be the average of what he makes?

It seems difficult to me for a orthodontist to take pictures of your mouth, especially like the top. What type of camera does the orthodontist use?
