Orthodontics in Encino
Straightening your teeth is about far more than looks. At Farzad Dental, orthodontics is about building a healthy, functional bite that lasts a lifetime — teeth that line up, work together and are easier to keep clean. Right now, save 15% on orthodontic treatment.
At our Encino office at 16661 Ventura Blvd, Suite 815 (91436), Dr. Philip Farzad uses orthodontics to correct crowding, gaps and bite alignment by gently guiding teeth into their ideal positions. The aesthetic payoff is real — a straighter, more confident smile — but the health benefits run deeper. When teeth are properly aligned, they're far easier to brush and floss effectively, which lowers your risk of decay and gum disease over the years.
A misaligned bite does more than look uneven; it can wear teeth down unevenly, strain your jaw and make everyday chewing less comfortable. Orthodontic treatment addresses crooked or crowded teeth, gaps and spacing, and bite problems like overbite, underbite and crossbite. It can also relieve the jaw discomfort that often comes with a bite that doesn't fit together the way it should, improving both function and comfort.
We tailor treatment to your smile and lifestyle. For many patients, Invisalign clear aligners straighten teeth discreetly without brackets or wires, and Invisalign Teen offers the same nearly invisible approach designed for younger patients and their routines. Retainers help hold teeth in their new positions and protect the results you've worked for. Whatever path fits best, we'll explain the options clearly so you can choose with confidence.
Every case follows a clear path: a consultation with digital planning, a customized orthodontic solution, ongoing progress monitoring, and a retention plan to keep your results long-term. Because we plan each treatment digitally, you'll see where your smile is headed before you ever begin, and Dr. Farzad will make sure the approach fits your schedule and your goals. We care for patients across Encino, Sherman Oaks, Tarzana and the greater San Fernando Valley, and our Palmdale office serves the Antelope Valley with the same care. With 15% off orthodontic treatment right now, there's never been a better time to start — new patients are welcome at both locations, we accept most PPO insurance, and CareCredit financing is available.
