Why Choose Braces?

Straight teeth do more than just improve your smile—they also support better oral health, speech, and function. Braces correct common issues like crowding, gaps, and bite misalignment while reducing the risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and jaw discomfort.

Orthodontic treatment can:

  • Boost confidence and self-esteem
  • Improve bite function and chewing efficiency
  • Prevent abnormal tooth wear and dental trauma
  • Make oral hygiene easier and more effective

Braces for Children

Braces are most effective during childhood or the early teenage years—when the jaw is still developing and teeth respond more quickly to treatment. We recommend an initial orthodontic evaluation around age 7, or sooner if noticeable issues are present.

Common signs a child may benefit from braces:


  • Crowded or crooked teeth
  • Difficulty biting or chewing
  • Thumb sucking or mouth breathing
  • Early or late loss of baby teeth
  • Speech challenges

What to Expect

  • A gentle, comprehensive exam with X-rays and digital imaging
  • A customized treatment plan tailored to your child’s growth and needs
  • Regular adjustment visits for steady progress
  • Encouraging, kid-friendly support at every step

Braces for Adults

It’s never too late to improve your smile! Today, nearly one-third of orthodontic patients are adults. Whether you missed out on braces earlier or your teeth have shifted over time, we offer discreet, modern solutions that fit your lifestyle.


While adult treatment may take a bit longer than for children, the results are equally stunning and long-lasting. We’ll also address any underlying dental conditions—like gum disease or decay—before beginning orthodontic care to ensure a healthy foundation.

How Long Does Treatment Take?

Children & Teens: 12–24 months on average


Adults: 18–30 months depending on complexity


Treatment duration varies by age, case severity, and type of appliance used. We'll give you a clear timeline during your consultation.

Types of Braces We Offer

We provide a range of options to suit your goals, comfort level, and lifestyle:

How do I get started?

Durable and effective, these braces use metal brackets and wires to gently move teeth into alignment. Modern designs are smaller and more comfortable than ever.

What does "Interventional Pain Management" mean?

Aesthetic and subtle, ceramic braces blend in with your natural teeth—perfect for patients wanting a less noticeable option.

Is my treatment covered by Health Insurance?

Removable and virtually invisible, clear aligners are ideal for teens and adults with mild to moderate alignment needs. Not all patients are candidates, but we’ll guide you through the best choice for your case.

What will happen at my first appointment?

Placed behind the teeth, lingual braces offer complete discretion with the power of fixed braces. These may affect speech at first but are ideal for image-conscious professionals.

How soon can I have an injection?

We also offer specialized devices like headgear (for jaw development issues) and retainers (to maintain alignment after treatment).

Dr. Yadav is one of the best dentists in Sunnyvale. He truly cares about his patients and the team at the office is always kind and warm. The team ensures a sanitized roomed upon examination and are considerate of their patients needs. My daughter was able to enjoy her visit and left laughing rather than crying!! That speaks volumes to the kind-hearted team and Dr. Yadav. Thank you!

Dr. Yadav and his crew are very comforting and made me relaxed in their office. It's obvious his whole team care about their patients and their comfort. They are also very transparent and honest when it comes to suggested treatments and what my insurance covers and does not. If you're looking for an honest caring dentist go here.
