An orthodontist will have started out as a dentist, but after a few years of experience in the dental field, decided to pursue further postgraduate study into the field of orthodontics. Once this is complete (three years), they will be qualified in the specialist area of orthodontics and trained to deal with simple to complex smile alignment. This is an important qualification to ensure you have an expert guiding your smile into place.

No, treatment doesn’t hurt. At times, you may experience some mild discomfort after your check-up appointment but this can be relieved with over-the-counter pain relief.

This depends on which Unbraced treatment you require, but on average, most people wear our Invisalign clear aligners for between 6 and 12 months.

Before the Unbraced name change, our patients had to go through the trauma of discomfort and limitations of traditional brackets and wires. With over 25+ years of experience and new, innovative technology, Dr. Maddox has provided patients a unique, easily assessable treatment that allows patients to eat the foods they love, book fewer appointments, feel no pain, and most importantly flash a winning smile with confidence in discrete Invisalign® clear aligners. With over 10,000 smiles freed, he’s excited to unbrace confidence for the next wave of family members, friends, adults, and kids ready to bring out their best smiles.

Yes, we do. We are proud to be Southern California’s first 100% Invisalign orthodontist serving all ages and all smiles. Our elite Invisalign orthodontist, Dr. Ron Maddox is highly experienced using this virtually invisible treatment method. Enjoy treatment at our flagship office in San Dimas or visit us at one of our dental partner sites where we bring Unbraced closer to home.

Invisalign clear aligners effectively treat a wide variety of cases including teeth crowding, spacing, crossbite, overbite, and underbite. Some of the many benefits of Invisalign clear aligners offer over braces:

• Faster straightening of your teeth while invisible
• Less pain from brace tightening
• Eat the foods you enjoy
• Easy removal whenever you want
• Allows you to brush and floss normally for better periodontal health
• Smooth, comfortable plastic instead of sharp metal that irritates your cheeks
• Frees up your schedule with fewer office visits

Overall, Invisalign clear aligners make daily oral hygiene easier, reducing the risk of possible problems caused by bacteria that leads to tooth decay and gum disease.

This cost varies based on which treatment plan you require and which orthodontist you choose to complete your treatment. At Unbraced, we are committed to making teeth straightening affordable and are pleased to offer a Price Match Guarantee with any Invisalign or traditional braces quote within the last 90 days. We’ll provide you with a quote for your treatment at your free consultation but you can find out more information about our fees on our Financing Page.
