Parents Ask
What are OrthoFX clear aligners?
They’re custom, nearly invisible trays that gradually move teeth, and they come out for eating, brushing, and sports. Teens like them because there are no food restrictions and fewer office visits than braces. Dr. Natalie Dang plans each case with 3D imaging at Discovery Children’s Dentistry and Orthodontics in Carlsbad. Call (760) 438-1279 to see if your child’s a good fit.

Ortho FX Clear Aligners: What Are They?

Unlike traditional braces, these aligners are removable and nearly invisible, offering a more flexible and discreet orthodontic treatment option. At Discovery Children’s Dentistry and Orthodontics, we use advanced 3D imaging technology to create personalized Ortho FX treatment plans for each young patient.
