Braces
For patients who prefer or need fixed orthodontic treatment, traditional braces remain a highly effective option. Modern braces are smaller and more comfortable than ever, and they can correct even complex alignment issues.
Invisalign & Clear Aligners
Invisalign uses a series of custom, clear aligners to gently shift your teeth into proper alignment. The aligners are removable, so you can eat, brush, and floss normally — and most people won't even notice you're wearing them.

How Our Orthodontic Care Compares to a Standalone Orthodontist Practice
Many patients wonder whether to see a standalone orthodontist or receive care at a general practice like San Jose Dental Clinic. The key difference is continuity of care. When you choose orthodontic treatment with us, you stay with the same trusted team for your regular check-ups, cleanings, and any restorative work you may need. There are no handoffs between offices — your dental history, preferences, and goals are known to everyone on your care team. This integrated model means your orthodontic treatment is coordinated with your overall oral health, not managed in isolation. Compare with our Preventive & General Dentistry services.
What Happens When Orthodontic Issues Go Untreated
Ignoring crooked teeth, misaligned bites, or jaw discomfort can lead to more than cosmetic concerns. Over time, crowded teeth become harder to clean, increasing the risk of cavities and gum disease. An uneven bite can cause uneven wear on enamel, jaw pain, and even headaches. Addressing these issues early with orthodontic care helps protect your long-term oral health.
Common Signs It's Time to Ask About Orthodontic or Aesthetic Treatment
- Teeth that are visibly crooked or overlapping
- Difficulty flossing between crowded teeth
- Jaw pain or clicking when you chew
- Frequent biting of your cheek or tongue
- Feeling self-conscious about your smile in photos or conversation
If any of these sound familiar, a consultation can help you understand your options.
