A straighter, healthier bite Orthodontics

Clear aligners and braces that straighten teeth, correct your bite and protect long-term oral health.

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.

Good questions Orthodontics FAQs

How much does orthodontic treatment cost, and is there a discount?
Cost varies with the option you choose and how much movement your teeth need, but right now we're offering 15% off orthodontic treatment. Many PPO plans include orthodontic benefits, especially for teens, and we'll check yours before you begin. CareCredit financing is also available at both our Encino and Palmdale offices to spread payments out comfortably.
Does orthodontic treatment hurt?
Orthodontics gently moves teeth, so you may feel mild pressure or tenderness for a day or two after starting or adjusting treatment — a sign it's working. Clear aligners like Invisalign are generally very comfortable and have no brackets or wires to irritate your mouth. Any soreness is easily managed and fades quickly.
How long does treatment take?
Timelines depend on your starting point and goals, ranging from a few months for minor corrections to longer for more complex cases. At your Encino consultation, digital planning gives us a clear estimate of your treatment length. Wearing your aligners or retainer as directed is the best way to stay on schedule.
Is Invisalign right for me, or do I need braces?
Invisalign handles a wide range of cases — crowding, gaps and many bite issues — discreetly and comfortably, and Invisalign Teen is designed for younger patients. Some complex situations may call for other approaches. Dr. Farzad will assess your teeth and bite and recommend the option that will give you the best result.
What happens after treatment ends?
Once your teeth reach their ideal positions, retainers keep them there — teeth can gradually drift back without them. We'll fit you with a custom retainer and explain exactly how and when to wear it. This retention step is what protects the investment you've made in your smile.
