Orthodontics in Dublin, California

Orthodontic treatment is not limited to children and teens. Dr. Golnaz Kavand offers adult orthodontic care for patients who want to improve the alignment, function, and appearance of their smiles. A variety of treatment options are available, with recommendations tailored to each patient’s needs and lifestyle.

Invisalign® clear aligners offer a discreet alternative to traditional metal braces. Dr. Golnaz Kavand provides Invisalign treatment at Atlantis using a planned series of clear, removable aligners to gradually guide teeth into new positions.

For some patients, orthodontic treatment may be part of a treatment plan that also involves corrective jaw surgery, also called orthognathic surgery. Atlantis provides orthodontic care for patients whose treatment involves jaw surgery and coordinates orthodontic treatment planning with an outside oral and maxillofacial surgeon.

The oral and maxillofacial surgeon performs the actual surgery. Jaw surgery is not performed at Atlantis.

Retention begins after braces are removed and is essential for maintaining the new position of your teeth. Because teeth can shift without support, Dr. Kavand may recommend a custom fixed or removable retainer based on your individual needs.

Removable retainers should be worn for the recommended amount of time and taken out for brushing. Retainers should also be cleaned before being placed back in the mouth. If a retainer breaks, contact the office instead of trying to repair or adjust it yourself.

Our practice offers several ways to straighten your smile, from traditional metal braces to clear aligners. Dr. Kavand and the orthodontic team will help you compare the available options and choose an approach that fits your clinical needs and personal preferences.
