Orthodontics in Burbank, CA | Braces & Invisalign

Reasons you may need orthodontics

Is orthodontic treatment right for you?

If your teeth are misaligned or your bite isn't quite right, you may be a candidate. Common reasons patients choose orthodontics:

Crooked or crowded teeth

Straighten teeth that overlap, twist or don't have enough room.

A more confident smile

Improve the appearance of your smile at any age.

Overbite, underbite, crossbite

Correct bite problems that affect chewing, speech and wear.

Long-term oral health

Straight teeth are easier to clean and less prone to uneven wear and jaw strain.

Option 1

Traditional braces

Traditional braces are a time-tested, highly effective way to correct misaligned teeth and bite issues. Brackets, wires and bands work together to gradually shift teeth into the desired position, and we use high-quality materials so your treatment is efficient and comfortable.

Benefits of traditional braces

Effective — excellent for complex issues such as severe crowding, spacing and bite problems.
Durable — designed to withstand daily wear and normal function, with nothing to remove or lose.
Affordable — often more economical than other orthodontic options, making them accessible to many patients.

Option 2

Invisalign® clear aligners

Invisalign® uses a series of clear, removable aligners, custom-made from a digital scan, that gradually shift your teeth. You change to a new set about every one to two weeks as your teeth progress — a discreet, comfortable and convenient way to straighten your smile.

Benefits of Invisalign®

Discreet — virtually invisible, ideal if you're self-conscious about wearing braces.
Comfortable — smooth plastic with no wires or brackets to irritate your mouth.
Convenient — removable, so you can eat, drink, brush and floss normally.

Patient reviews

Why patients trust Dr. Massaband

Hands down the best dentist and dental office I have ever been to. I got my teeth worked on by Dr. Massaband — she is an absolute delight. Her work is top of the line. I have always been afraid of the dentist, but the way she worked on me I didn’t feel any pain or discomfort, which is so rare to find. She really makes sure you are 100% satisfied before you walk out of her office. Staff is super friendly and the office is in a great location.

Dr. Massaband was wonderful! I brought my mom to her in an emergency state. The doctor came in early on a Sunday, was very professional and detail oriented, took great care of my mom’s complicated procedure and even followed up multiple times a day during her recovery. Very grateful to have found her!

Call (818) 846-9041

What orthodontic treatments does Magnolia Dentistry offer?

We offer both traditional braces — highly effective and durable for complex bite or alignment issues — and Invisalign® clear aligners, a discreet, comfortable and convenient alternative.

How do I know whether braces or Invisalign is right for me?

During your consultation we assess your dental needs and alignment goals. Braces are often recommended for complex cases, while Invisalign is excellent when comfort and appearance are priorities.

How does Invisalign treatment work?

Custom clear aligners are created from digital scans of your teeth. You switch to a new set roughly every one to two weeks to gradually move your teeth into position.

Can I eat normally with Invisalign?

Yes — because aligners are removable, you can eat any food and keep up your normal brushing and flossing routine.

Am I too old for orthodontics?

No. Healthy teeth can be moved at any age, and many of our orthodontic patients are adults.

How much does orthodontic treatment cost?

It depends on the complexity of your case and the option you choose. You'll receive a written estimate, and payment plans are available.
