Well, yeah. I never had braces growing up unfortunately. So I knew as I got older that I have to fix this, because all my friends had nice teeth and I needed to fix my smile up too. And I started caring a lot more about my dental health. Just from there I kind of started seeing that it’s time for me to finally take action and even though I’m a little older, I was 22 at the time, I just felt like it was the right time. And I did that and looking back on it now, I’m just so happy that I did, because it gives me more confidence now. I have a nicer smile and you know, my teeth look like the way they should and it’s just healthier too.rnrnI felt at home here and this was the place I wanted to be. Dr. Essayan was my orthodontist and he was just such a knowledgeable guy and I just knew that he was the one that was going to help get me to where I want to be. I don’t really always feel like I’m in a dentist’s office or something, I’m just here with like friends, I guess you’d say. He just let me know from the beginning he wasn’t out there just to get another customer, he was very open and honest. He cared more about being real and honest with me than anything and I really respected that.rnrnNorth Oaks Dental is definitely the place to be. It’s very open, it’s very honest and they’re very loyal to their customers. And I have honestly recommended all of my friends, not just some of them, all my friends. Even if it’s not for braces, just for a cleaning. I always recommend this location specifically, because they are great here and I cannot recommend them enough. If I had to do it all over again, I would 100% come back here and do it all over again.
Embrace Every Step Toward a Confident Smile
The journey to a healthier, straighter smile often begins early. That’s why orthodontists recommend children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. During this important visit, we’ll look for early warning signs such as crossbites, crowding, or other alignment issues that can affect long-term dental health. By addressing concerns sooner, we can often reduce the need for more complex treatment later on.
Of course, orthodontics isn’t only for kids. Teens and adults can also benefit from modern options that are both effective and discreet. Depending on your needs, your orthodontist may recommend:
- Invisalign® Clear Aligners – Nearly invisible trays gently guide teeth into place. They can be removed for meals, brushing, and special events, so they’re a flexible solution for busy lifestyles.
- Clear Ceramic Braces – Tooth-colored or transparent brackets paired with subtle wires deliver consistent results while blending naturally with your smile.
Once alignment is complete, you may also choose to refine your new smile with additional cosmetic enhancements such as:
- Professional Teeth Whitening – Removes stains and brightens your smile.
- Custom Veneers – Conceals chips, gaps, or uneven teeth for a flawless appearance.
- Gum Reshaping – Balances your gumline to create an even, attractive frame for your teeth.
