Orthodontic Treatments We Offer in Glendale
No two smiles are the same. That's why Dr. Sarpotdar and Dr. Sun offer several treatment options in Glendale, each matched to your goals, your age, and your daily life.
Clear Aligners (Invisalign)
Clear aligners are removable, nearly invisible trays that straighten teeth gradually. They're a favorite for adults and teens who want a subtle look and the freedom to eat, brush, and floss without brackets in the way.
Damon Metal Braces
Damon metal braces use light, biological forces to move teeth efficiently. Because they're self-ligating (no elastic ties), many families enjoy shorter appointments and fewer visits over the course of treatment.
Orthodontics for All Ages
Whether your child is seven or you're seventy, it's not too late. Adults make up a meaningful share of our Glendale guests, and our puggle patrol kids club helps younger children stay on track before treatment begins.
Retainers and Guarantee My Smile
Once your treatment ends, retainers protect your results. Our guarantee my smile program helps you keep that iconic smile looking great for years to come.
Compare Braces vs. Clear Aligners: Which Is Right for You?
Glendale orthodontist patients often ask which option is best for their smile. Both work beautifully, and the right choice depends on your bite, your lifestyle, and your personal preferences. Here's a quick side-by-side to help you compare:
| Feature | Damon Metal Braces | Clear Aligners (Invisalign) |
|---|---|---|
| Visibility | Visible metal brackets | Nearly invisible |
| Removable | No (fixed) | Yes (removable trays) |
| Treatment Time | Typically 12-24 months | Typically 6-18 months |
| Best For | Complex bite corrections, all ages | Adults and teens with mild to moderate needs |
| Food Restrictions | Some (avoid hard/sticky foods) | None (remove to eat) |
| Maintenance | Brushing around brackets | Clean trays daily, brush normally |
| Appointment Frequency | Every 4-8 weeks | Every 6-10 weeks |
Still not sure? That's what a free consult is for. Say "hello" to your friendly doctor, and we'll go over both options together.

Frequently Asked Questions About Orthodontics
What factors affect the cost of orthodontic treatment?
Cost depends on factors like the complexity of your case, the treatment option you choose, and how long treatment takes. Rather than a single number, the best way to know what to expect is a free smile exam, where we'll walk you through your options and financing.
Do I need a referral to see an orthodontist?
No, you do not need a referral to see an orthodontist. You can book a free consult directly with Dr. Sarpo and Dr. Sun. A general dentist referral is welcome but not required, and most insurance plans do not require one either.
What disqualifies someone from getting braces?
Very few things disqualify someone from braces. Most guests are great candidates for braces or aligner orthodontic treatment. Before starting, we'll want any active cavities or gum disease treated first so your teeth and gums are healthy. Your free smile exam will confirm you're ready.
At what age should my child first see an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first visit by age 7. Even if treatment isn't needed yet, our puggle patrol kids club helps monitor growth and catch small issues early, when they're easiest to guide.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
Most cases finish in 12-24 months, though shorter and longer plans exist. Clear aligners can sometimes wrap in as few as 6 months for mild cases. Dr. Sarpotdar and Dr. Sun will give you a personalized timeline at your free smile exam.
Does insurance cover orthodontic treatment?
Many plans include orthodontic benefits. We accept most major insurance carriers and will file claims for you. Bring your card to your free consult and we'll review your coverage together.
