Fountain Valley Orthodontics
Surf City Smiles has an orthodontic office right in Fountain Valley at 17220 Newhope Street, Suite 227, near the corner of Newhope and Warner. We treat families from across Fountain Valley, along with neighboring Huntington Beach, Westminster, and Santa Ana, and our second office in Huntington Beach means your appointments and any follow-ups are easy to fit around school, work, and everything else.
Board-certified orthodontists Dr. Chuck Carlson and Dr. Philip Nisco treat children, teens, and adults with metal braces, clear braces, and Invisalign. At your first visit we look at your teeth and give you a straight answer on what treatment actually fits your case, then build a plan around it.
New patients are welcome and you do not need a referral. Call us at 714-465-5065 or request a free consultation to get started.
Our Services
At Surf City Smiles, we offer a range of orthodontic treatments tailored to meet your unique needs. Here’s a closer look at the services we provide:
Metal Braces
Go for metal braces if you want a reliable, effective solution. These sturdy stainless steel braces fix many dental issues and get the job done efficiently.
They’re perfect for correcting issues like overcrowding, gaps, and misaligned bites. Plus, they’ve come a long way in terms of comfort and aesthetics, making them a great choice for patients of all ages.
Clear Braces
Prefer a more subtle look? Clear braces use transparent or tooth-colored brackets, so they blend in with your teeth while still providing great results.
These braces are just as effective as metal braces in treating various orthodontic problems, but they offer a more discreet appearance, which can be a big confidence booster during treatment.
Clear Aligners and Invisalign in Fountain Valley
Clear aligners are a nearly invisible, removable way to straighten your teeth without brackets or wires. You wear a series of custom trays that shift your teeth a little at a time, and you take them out to eat, brush, and floss. For a lot of our Fountain Valley patients that flexibility is the whole appeal, treatment fits around real life instead of the other way around.
Invisalign works well for spacing, crowding, and many common bite issues, in teens and adults alike. During your consultation Dr. Carlson or Dr. Nisco will look at your teeth and tell you honestly whether aligners are the right tool for your case or whether braces would get you a better result. Not every case is an aligner case, and we would rather tell you that up front.
Because we run offices in both Fountain Valley and Huntington Beach, your check-ins and any refinements are easy to schedule close to home or work. If you are weighing aligners specifically, our team also treats Invisalign in Huntington Beach from our second location, so you have options either way.
Advantages of Orthodontics
Orthodontics isn’t just about a pretty smile – it’s about health and confidence at any age:
For Children
Starting early can prevent bigger problems later. Kids benefit from better oral health and a confidence boost with a great smile.
Early treatment can guide proper jaw growth, correct harmful oral habits, and ensure there is enough space for incoming permanent teeth, setting the stage for a healthier smile as they grow.
For Teens
Teens will love the confidence boost and improved oral health. Clear braces and Invisalign offer discreet options that keep them looking and feeling their best.
This is a crucial time for addressing dental issues since the body is still growing, making orthodontic treatment more effective and quicker. Plus, a straight smile can significantly enhance their self-esteem during these formative years.
For Adults
It’s never too late! Adults can fix long-standing issues and improve their oral health and self-confidence with our personalized treatments. Whether it’s correcting a misaligned bite, closing gaps, or straightening crowded teeth, our treatments can improve your overall dental health.
This makes it easier to clean your teeth and reduces the risk of dental problems like decay and gum disease. Plus, a beautiful smile can enhance your professional and personal life, giving you the confidence to show it off.
