Straighten Your Smile with Trusted Orthodontic Care

Crooked teeth, crowding, or bite problems can affect more than just your appearance — they can also impact your oral health and confidence. At Civic Dental, Dr. Dunya Antwan offers comprehensive orthodontic treatment with traditional braces in Vista, CA, helping children, teens, and adults achieve straight, healthy smiles that last a lifetime.

Braces remain one of the most effective solutions for correcting a wide range of alignment issues. With advanced materials and modern techniques, today’s braces are more comfortable, efficient, and discreet than ever.

Crooked teeth, crowding, or bite problems can affect more than just your appearance — they can also impact your oral health and confidence.

What Can Braces Treat?

Braces are a highly versatile orthodontic solution capable of correcting:

Crowded or overlapping teeth
Gaps between teeth
Overbite, underbite, or crossbite
Misaligned or rotated teeth
Jaw alignment concerns

Left untreated, these issues can lead to jaw discomfort, speech problems, and increased risk of decay. Orthodontic care isn’t just about aesthetics — it’s a long-term investment in your oral health.

How Do Braces Work?

Braces use a system of metal or ceramic brackets bonded to the teeth, connected by wires and elastic bands. Over time, gentle pressure guides the teeth into their proper positions.

At Civic Dental, your treatment includes:

Initial consultation and smile evaluation
Digital imaging and customized treatment planning
Regular adjustments every few weeks
Support throughout your journey to ensure comfort and progress

Many patients complete treatment in 12–24 months depending on their case.

We also offer Clear Aligners for patients seeking a removable, more discreet option.

Braces for Kids, Teens & Adults

While most patients begin orthodontic treatment in adolescence, many adults benefit from braces as well. We offer age-appropriate care for:

Children (early interceptive orthodontics for developing smiles)
Teens (comprehensive correction during growth years)
Adults (corrective treatment or relapsed alignment)

We’ll walk you through all options during your consultation so you can make an informed decision.
