Clear Aligners in Manhattan Beach, CA
Clear Aligners (including Invisalign®-style systems) – Nearly invisible, removable trays perfect for teens and adults who want flexibility without visible appliances. Great for mild to moderate alignment needs and lifestyle compatibility.
Early Orthodontic Treatment (Ages 7–10)
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that every child see an orthodontist by age seven. At Turley Dental, our early intervention program catches problems like crowding, protruding teeth, thumb-sucking habits, jaw growth discrepancies, or early/late baby tooth loss before they become complex. Many Manhattan Beach parents bring their children in after noticing these signs. Our two-phase / multi-phased orthodontic care makes a world of difference:
Phase 1 gently guides jaw development, creates space for permanent teeth, and corrects harmful habits or misalignments.
Phase 2 (once all adult teeth erupt) completes full alignment with braces or clear aligners, followed by retainers for lifelong stability.
Early treatment often reduces the need for extractions, surgery, or prolonged Phase 2 treatment, saving time, money, and stress for your family.
Teen Orthodontic Treatment (Ages 11–17)
Braces and aligners have evolved, and teens at Turley Dental love the modern, stylish options. Whether addressing crowded teeth, gaps, bite problems, or speech challenges, we customize plans that fit active South Bay lifestyles – sports, school, beach days, and all.
Most teen treatments last 12–24 months with visits every 4–8 weeks. Options include mini metal, ceramic, self-ligating braces, or clear aligners for discreet correction.
Adult Orthodontics (Ages 18+)
It’s never too late for a confident smile. More adults in Manhattan Beach choose treatment to improve bite function, fix shifting teeth, prepare for cosmetic or restorative work, address wear/gum issues, or simply boost self-confidence.
We offer discreet ceramic braces, clear aligners, and tailored plans around busy careers and family schedules. Adult care at Turley Dental focuses on health, stability, and natural-looking results.
