Dental Braces in Pleasanton & Sunnyvale, CA
Whether it’s your child’s first orthodontic visit or you’re finally ready to straighten your own smile, we offer braces that fit every stage of life—comfortably, discreetly, and effectively.

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:
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:
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.
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.

We provide a range of options to suit your goals, comfort level, and lifestyle:
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.
Aesthetic and subtle, ceramic braces blend in with your natural teeth—perfect for patients wanting a less noticeable option.
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.
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.
We also offer specialized devices like headgear (for jaw development issues) and retainers (to maintain alignment after treatment).
At My Favorite Dentist, we make orthodontic treatment comfortable, personalized, and rewarding—for patients of every age. Our team will guide you from start to finish, with expert care and support every step of the way.
