What Is Orthodontics & Why It Matters

Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry focused on bringing teeth and jaws into proper alignment. At Empower Dental Pasadena, we go beyond simply creating a straighter smile—we design treatments that improve comfort, bite function, and long-term oral health. Using advanced tools such as digital X-rays, intraoral cameras, 3D imaging, and digital impressions (iTero, Medit, TRIOS), we customize every plan to fit your needs.

  • Crooked or crowded teeth Straightening makes cleaning easier and prevents uneven wear.
  • Spacing issues Close unwanted gaps for a more balanced, healthier smile.
  • Bite problems Correct overbites, underbites, or crossbites that can affect chewing and jaw comfort.
  • Jaw discomfort Alleviate strain or misalignment that may lead to TMJ or headaches.
  • Chewing or speech difficulties Improve everyday function and oral comfort.
  • Risk of decay Reduce plaque buildup in hard-to-reach areas caused by misalignment.

Orthodontic care at Empower Dental is about more than straightening teeth—it’s about helping you achieve a smile that looks great, feels comfortable, and supports lasting dental health.

What to Expect During Orthodontic Treatment

At Empower Dental Pasadena, we make the orthodontic process as smooth and comfortable as possible. With advanced technology and a patient-focused approach, each step of your treatment is customized to deliver effective results with ease.

  • Comprehensive evaluation A full exam with 3D X-rays, digital scans, and intraoral cameras gives us a complete picture of your smile and bite.
  • Precision planning CAD/CAM software, T-Scan bite analysis, and other tools let us design a treatment plan that’s both accurate and efficient.
  • Tailored orthodontic solution Whether it’s braces, Invisalign, expanders, or retainers, your treatment is selected and customized to fit your needs and lifestyle.
  • Ongoing monitoring Regular check-ins ensure progress stays on track, with adjustments made as needed for comfort and results.

This modern approach means less guesswork, less discomfort, and a healthier, straighter smile that lasts.

Types of Orthodontic Treatments We Offer

Orthodontic care isn’t one-size-fits-all. At Empower Dental Pasadena, we provide a variety of treatment options so every patient can find the solution that works best for their goals, lifestyle, and budget. Here are the most common orthodontic services we offer:

  • Traditional metal braces Time-tested and highly effective, metal braces use brackets and wires to correct even complex alignment issues.
  • Ceramic braces Similar to metal braces, but with tooth-colored or clear brackets that blend in for a more discreet look.
  • Clear aligners (Invisalign) A nearly invisible, removable option that straightens teeth comfortably without brackets or wires.
  • Lingual braces Placed on the back (tongue side) of the teeth, lingual braces provide complete discretion while correcting alignment.
  • Retainers & expanders Appliances designed to maintain results after treatment or to gently guide jaw development in younger patients.

Whether you’re a teen starting treatment or an adult looking for a discreet option, our team will help you choose the orthodontic solution that fits your smile best.

We utilize Intraoral Cameras, Digital X-rays, CAD/CAM, Digital Impressions, and more to ensure accurate diagnostics and efficient treatment.

Most orthodontic treatments range from 12 to 36 months, depending on your specific case.

We work with CareCredit, Lending Club, and Cherry to make your treatment affordable.

Orthodontics can be successful at any age. Early evaluation (around age 7) is ideal, but adults benefit too.

You’ll need to wear retainers as directed, maintain excellent hygiene, and attend regular dental checkups.

Yes, in most cases. We’ll tailor your treatment plan around any existing restorations.

You may feel slight pressure or discomfort after adjustments, but modern technology minimizes pain and speeds up adaptation.

We offer same-day CEREC crowns and use digital planning to reduce the number of orthodontic visits, though full treatment still requires regular check-ins.
