Board Certified Orthodontist in Pomona, CA
At Kids Dental Castle & Orthodontics, our orthodontic team provides personalized orthodontic care for children, teens, and adults in Pomona, CA. We start with a free orthodontic consultation, so you can find out what treatment is needed and what it will cost before committing to anything. We offer early orthodontic evaluations, traditional braces, and Invisalign® clear aligners for kids and teens, with treatment tailored to each patient’s age, smile, and orthodontic needs.
Orthodontics for Kids and Teens in Pomona
Our orthodontic team provides orthodontic care for kids and teens at every stage of development. From early evaluations and Phase One treatment to braces and Invisalign for older children and teenagers, treatment is personalized based on your child’s growth, bite, tooth development, and individual needs.
Early orthodontic evaluations can help identify developing bite and alignment problems before they become more complicated. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children receive their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7.
At Kids Dental Castle & Orthodontics, we evaluate tooth alignment, jaw growth, spacing, crowding, and bite development to determine whether treatment is needed now or whether your child should simply be monitored as they grow.
Orthodontics for Adults in Pomona
Orthodontic treatment is not only for children. We treat adults with braces and Invisalign clear aligners, including adults who never had orthodontic treatment growing up and adults whose teeth have shifted years after previous treatment.
Adult treatment starts the same way as it does for children, with a free consultation at our Pomona office where we review your options and costs. Many parents choose to begin their own treatment while their child is in braces. Call 909-741-7052 to arrange a consultation.

What does it cost to start orthodontic treatment?

Families may be able to begin treatment with approximately $300 down through zero-interest in-house financing, with manageable monthly payments. We accept Medi-Cal and PPO plans and also accept CareCredit. We do not accept HMO plans.
Can kids get Invisalign instead of braces?
Yes. Some children and teens may be good candidates for Invisalign® clear aligners instead of traditional braces. The best option depends on your child’s age, tooth development, bite, and orthodontic needs. Our orthodontic team can evaluate your child and recommend the most appropriate treatment.
Is Invisalign better than braces for kids?
It depends on the child and the type of orthodontic correction needed. Invisalign® is removable and less noticeable, while traditional braces can be effective for a wide range of orthodontic problems. An orthodontic evaluation can help determine whether Invisalign or braces is better for your child.
At what age should my child see an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. An early evaluation allows the orthodontist to monitor jaw growth, tooth eruption, crowding, spacing, and bite development, even if treatment is not yet necessary.
Does Invisalign treatment include retainers?
Retainers are typically needed after Invisalign® treatment to help maintain the new position of the teeth. The type of retainer and whether it is included with treatment can vary depending on the individual treatment plan. We will review retainer options and costs with you before treatment.
How do I know if my child needs braces?
Signs that your child may benefit from braces include crowded or crooked teeth, gaps between teeth, an overbite, underbite, crossbite, or problems with how the teeth come together. An orthodontic evaluation is the best way to determine whether treatment is needed and when it should begin.
What does a pediatric orthodontist treat?
A pediatric orthodontic evaluation looks at how a child’s teeth, jaws, and bite are developing. Orthodontic treatment may help address crowding, spacing, crossbites, overbites, underbites, tooth eruption problems, and other alignment concerns as a child grows.
When should kids start orthodontic treatment?
Not every child who has an orthodontic evaluation at age 7 needs treatment right away. Some children benefit from early or Phase One orthodontic treatment, while others are monitored until more permanent teeth have erupted. The right timing depends on your child’s growth, bite, and tooth development.
Do you treat adults for orthodontics?
Yes. While much of our orthodontic care is for children and teens, we also treat adults with braces and Invisalign clear aligners. Many adults are candidates for treatment even if they never had braces as a child. Call 909-741-7052 to arrange a free consultation.
