What Are Braces?

A smile makeover is a customized treatment plan created just for you. Using one or more advanced cosmetic or restorative treatments you can address your smile goals.

During your consultation, Dr. Guinn asks about your oral health history and any past dental treatments. She also asks about the features you’d like to fix in your smile and details the many available treatments.

Dr. Guinn uses state-of-the-art videography and digital technology to evaluate your teeth and jaw to plan orthodontic adjustments.

Thanks to the advanced technology available at The Smile Agency Orthodontics & Smile Design, the team can predict how long your treatment will take and exactly what the results will look like when your treatment is complete.

Smile Makeover Treatments

Get the Smile You Always Wanted

At The Smile Agency, Dr. Guinn uses the latest technology in orthodontics to give you a straighter smile.She offers:

• Professional whitening - Professional whitening treatments lift stains left by food, drinks, and tobacco.

• Dental implants - Dental implants act as replacement roots for missing teeth. They hold custom crowns in place to give you a full smile

• Veneers - Veneers are thin shells that attach to the front surfaces of teeth to improve their appearance.

• Laser crown lengthening - Make your teeth look longer by recontouring your gum line. Dr. Guinn uses a laser for safe crown lengthening with minimal healing time.

• Crowns - Crowns can cover damaged teeth or attach to dental implants. Dr. Guinn designs your crowns to look almost identical to your natural teeth so they don’t stand out or look artificial.

• Bridges - A dental bridge is a dental device fixed onto dental implants or to healthy teeth to fill a gap in your smile. It includes one or more replacement teeth.

• Orthodontic alignment​​​​​​​ - Might include braces or Invisalign® to straighten your teeth. Aligning your teeth with these orthodontic treatments can also reduce your risk for gum disease, cavities, and other oral health issues.

Self-ligating System Brace

Expert Dental Care

Our office is pleased to offer our patients passive self-ligating braces. Self-litigating braces use a slide mechanism to hold the archwire, reducing the amount of pressure exerted on the teeth and allowing the teeth to move more freely, quickly, and comfortably. If you are looking to get some of the best results from self-litigating braces Pasadena & West Covina patients can depend on, visit Dr. Karen Guinn and her team at The Smile Agency in either Pasadena or West Covina.

• Great results in less time. Depending on your case, this may mean a savings of many months.

• Self-litigating braces allow freedom of movement – resulting in faster results with gentler forces.

• Precise and effective – We can reduce the need for many of the time-consuming and complicated procedures that are used with traditional braces.

• Fewer adjustments are required – As a result, your appointments will be faster and fewer.

• Less discomfort than traditional braces. Also, self-litigating braces are small, very comfortable, and easy to keep clean.

• Self-ligating braces use a specialized clip in place of elastics to help the archwire guide teeth into place. These clips help reduce the amount of pressure being placed on the tooth and require fewer adjustments because there are no elastics to replace.

How Long Does It Take to Finish a Smile Makeover?

Expert Dental Care

Since each smile makeover is different, you won’t know how long your smile makeover will take until you consult with Dr. Guinn. Smile makeovers with multiple treatments may take longer than smile makeovers with just one or two treatments.
