Orthodontic treatment depends on more than brackets and wires. Healthy gums provide the support your teeth need as they move into their new positions. Keeping your gums clean throughout treatment helps protect your smile and supports the best possible results.
This Gum Care Month, give your gums the attention they deserve.

Keep your smile moving in the right direction, ask Dr. Mona Derentz how to maintain healthy gums during orthodontic treatment. (818) 925-2599

The hardest part of Invisalign® isn't wearing the aligners, it's deciding to begin.
Every confident smile starts with one simple decision. If you've been thinking about straightening your teeth, this could be the perfect time to take that first step.

Small habits and subtle changes can sometimes point to developing orthodontic concerns. An early evaluation can help identify issues while your child's smile is still growing, creating the opportunity for healthier development and simpler treatment in the future.

Dr. Mona Derentz is here to help guide your child's smile every step of the way.

Your Invisalign® aligners only work when they're doing their job. For the best results, they should be worn 22 hours a day, leaving about two hours for eating, drinking anything besides water, brushing, and flossing. Wearing them for fewer hours each day can slow tooth movement, affect how each aligner fits, and may even extend your overall treatment time.
Small daily habits make a big difference. Stay consistent, and let every aligner do what it was designed to do.
Questions about your Invisalign treatment? Call (818) 925-2599 to schedule a consultation with Dr. Mona Derentz and keep your smile moving in the right direction.

Invisalign treatment may be complete, but your smile still needs protection. After your aligners come off, your teeth naturally have a tendency to shift over time. That's why wearing your retainer is such an important part of maintaining your results. It helps keep your teeth in their new positions and protects the smile you've invested in.
If it's been a while since you've worn your retainer or it no longer fits comfortably, it's a good idea to schedule an orthodontic evaluation.

Every child's smile develops differently, which is why timing matters.
Some orthodontic concerns are easier to treat while your child's jaws are still growing. An early evaluation doesn't always mean braces right away, it simply helps identify the best path for healthy development.
Dr. Mona Derentz takes a personalized approach to every child, creating treatment plans based on their unique growth and needs.
Give your child the advantage of early orthodontic care. Call (818) 925-2599 to schedule a FREE consultation with Dr. Mona Derentz today.

A straight smile is important but healthy breathing matters too.
Airway orthodontics looks beyond tooth alignment to evaluate how the teeth, jaws, and airway work together. By supporting healthy jaw development, this approach may improve breathing, sleep quality, and overall wellness while creating a strong foundation for a confident smile.
With advanced training and a personalized approach, Dr. Mona Derentz focuses on treating the whole patient, not just the smile.
📞 Schedule your consultation to learn if airway orthodontics is right for you or your child. (818) 925-2599
