Our Orthodontic Services
Braces
Invisalign
Invisalign is an excellent solution for re-aligning teeth — without the need for braces. Adjusted every two weeks, individually-made clear plastic aligners move the teeth into the correct position. Final result? A beautiful smile. The best part? Most cases can be treated in half the time required with traditional braces.
Retainers
Retainers are devices employed by orthodontists to maintain the position of your teeth after they have been realigned. Constructed from clear plastic or metal wires, retainers fit snugly over or around your teeth to hold them in their ideal position, ensuring that the hard work achieved by braces is preserved for a lasting and beautiful smile.
At Atlantic Orthodontics, we want you to have confidence in your smile. When you are searching for orthodontics near me, you aren’t looking for a dentist with the cheapest pricing. You’re looking for one with experience and reputation for taking good care of their patients.
Going to the dentist isn’t on the top of everyone’s list, but having a smile you’re proud of should be. As a specialized Whittier dentist, your comfort and satisfaction at the dentist is one of our highest priorities. Our mission is to have you walk out of our office with a smile on your face and a great dental experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What Do Orthodontists Do?
Orthodontists, like our very own Dr. Zadmehr at Atlantic Orthodontics, are special kinds of dentists who have extra training to fix issues with how your teeth and jaw align. They use various tools, such as braces or clear aligners, to gently and slowly guide your teeth to where they should be. Think of them like architects for your mouth, designing and guiding your smile to its best form over time!
-
Can Orthodontics Fix TMJ?
Yes, they certainly can! Temporomandibular Joint Disorder, often simply called TMJ, can cause discomfort or pain in your jaw. Orthodontic treatments can often help ease these symptoms. If you have jaw pain, clicking, or other TMJ symptoms, Dr. Zadmehr can check your situation and create a tailor-made treatment plan just for you. Orthodontics can be a big help in managing and even reducing TMJ symptoms, leading you towards a healthier and more comfortable smile.
