A professional, Caring Orthodontic Team From Los Alamitos CA

Dr. Desh has built a team as dedicated to quality, compassionate care as she is. Every team member is here to ensure you have the orthodontic experience you deserve. We love seeing our Los Alamitos patients light up before our eyes as their smiles transform. A straighter, healthier smile can have a positive impact and help build a patient’s self-esteem. This is the part of the job that we love the most – watching our patients blossom as they see their beautiful new smiles.

Treatment Options For Everyone

HD Orthodontics offers individualized treatment for every patient. No two treatment plans are alike, because no two smiles are alike. Dr. Desh offers a variety of treatment options in Los Alamitos CA to ensure that every patient has access to their right treatment for their individual smile goals. We are proud to offer:

Treatment At The Right Time

Dr. Desh begins treating patients as early as age seven, as recommended by the American Association of Orthodontists. Beginning a relationship early can ensure that treatment is started at the time when it will have the most impact on a child’s growing smile. Dr. Desh can help guide the growth of the jaws, ensuring that permanent teeth erupt properly and making the straightening phase of treatment more efficient and effective.

Dr. Desh knows that teens don’t love the idea of spending their formative years in braces. As a top Los Alamitos Invisalign provider, she is proud to offer Invisalign Teen for her patients who want a discrete way to straighten their smiles. Clear braces are also a great way to get the smile you want, without drawing more attention to yourself in the process.

In the United States, nearly one in four orthodontic patients is an adult. Dr. Desh knows her adult patients lead busy professional lives and may not want the hassle of orthodontic treatment getting in the way. Lingual braces are an invisible way to perfect your smile without anyone even knowing, as they sit discretely along the tongue side of the teeth.

It All Starts With A Phone Call.

All it takes to begin is a phone call to schedule a consultation. Every consultation is complimentary and lasts around one hour. A consultation will provide Dr. Desh the opportunity to diagnose your orthodontic problems and recommend the right treatment plan for you.
