OUR SERVICES

Alpine Orthodontics offers cutting-edge procedures to ensure the best possible results for our patients.

Traditional Braces

Yup. They look like the good old braces from years ago, but even our traditional braces utilize the most advanced technology and science to give you the most efficient, yet cost effective smile.

Tooth Colored Braces

If metal braces could marry a chameleon, their baby would be this. Our tooth colored braces look like conventional brackets, but they blend into the tooth like a chameleon. They give you the best esthetics with the shortest possible time in treatment. Get in, look good, be done.

Invasalign & Clear Aligners

Imagine moving teeth with clear plastic aligners. No metal, no poky wire, and still a great smile to show-off at the end. Think about it!

TMJ Evaluation

TMWhat? TMJ is the joint that helps you chew. If you are experiencing pain or hear clicking sounds there, or get headaches or neck pain, your dental alignment and TMJ may need a professional evaluation. We can do that.

Surgical Orthodontics

Surgical? Yes, we said it. Its very uncommon, but sometimes, the only way to get things right requires surgery. We do all we can to help you avoid, and get the best results if you must. You’re in good hand.

Advanced Imaging

If a picture is worth a thousand words, whats a 3D image worth? We use the highest technology to minimize bad stuff like radiation and over-extended treatment times. Our fancy Cone Beam Xrays and no radiation 3D imaging is there if you need it.

SMILING TESTIMONIALS

Dr. T provides the perfect balance of experience and passion for his patients…big and small. I have learned a great deal from him and he takes great care of our young patients, including my own daughter and nephew. I look forward to referring my patients to Dr. T for years to come.”

J. Shahangian - Pediatric Dentist

My son needed braces. He was so embarrassed about his teeth that he would not smile, ever. We went to several orthodontists before me Cynthia Jackson. Most had either quoted some outlandish cost or procedures; none gave us a complete start to finish cost like Alpine Orthodontics. Cynthia and staff made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in the door, and understood what my son was going through. He was not just a number in the books. They offered several different discounts based on our situations, with payment plans available. He was in and out of the braces in two years, with great results. We have two more children that will need braces they too will be going to Alpine Orthodontics. Overall the best value we found in East County for orthodontics.”

This office has gone above and beyond what I was expecting. Completely satisfied and happy with the care they have given my little boy. Appointments are fast and effective. They take extra time to make sure my little boy is relaxed and that he understands how to care for his appliances. Highly recommend Cynthia Jackson, she is personable and professional.”
