Braces: Orthodontic Treatment
Braces are a great option in Los Angeles for those who need orthodontic treatment.
There are different types of orthodontic treatments available that treat a myriad of dental issues. Some dental issues that orthodontists treat are: an overbite, underbite, crossbite, an open bite, spaces or gaps, crowded teeth, or a displaced midline. These types of issues can develop naturally or may result from disease or injury. Orthodontics is an art. The orthodontist must adjust the braces and bands just the right way so that proper tooth and jaw alignment is achieved.
Braces are the most popular type of orthodontics. Braces are a type of treatment that consists of brackets, bands, and wires. It applies constant pressure to the teeth, slowly moving them to the desired position. We offer metal and clear braces. In addition, we offer retainers. We also offer Invisalign for those who are a good candidate for their clear aligner system. Dr. Bijan Afar and the orthodontic team at Mid-Wilshire Dental Care are highly skilled in orthodontic treatment and look forward to meeting with you and going over all of your options.

What is Orthodontics?
I had always regretted not getting braces as a teenager. For years, I would hide my smile or keep my mouth shut in photos. Now in my thirties, I thought it was too late—until a friend recommended Dr. Jacobson at Mid-Wilshire Dental Care. When I visited, I was surprised to learn that many of their orthodontic patients were even older than me. So, I gave it a shot—and I’m so glad I did. I got my braces off three months ago, and now I can’t stop smiling.

After I got a word in and told him I just needed the extraction, he stated that, apparently, I did not want to do things the right way and left me with a billing person who said the extraction (with insurance) would be a whopping 700 dollars.
Total scam.
