Your Child’s Superpower

Creating Confident Smiles for Kids

A straighter smile can boost your child’s confidence and set them up for a lifetime of oral health. At Discovery Children’s Dentistry & Orthodontics, we offer a variety of orthodontic treatments and flexible payment plans to make their dream smile a reality.

Understanding Orthodontics

Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry focused on correcting misaligned teeth and jaws. From early orthodontic interventions to teen treatments, we provide a range of options to suit your child’s unique needs. Our approach considers not just tooth alignment but also facial aesthetics and long-term oral health.

The Benefits of Orthodontic Treatment

Orthodontic care offers numerous advantages for your child’s oral and overall health:

  • Improves bite function and speech
  • Enhances facial appearance and self-confidence
  • Reduces risk of tooth decay and gum disease
  • Prevents excessive wear on tooth enamel
  • Alleviates jaw pain and headaches caused by misalignment
  • Creates space for erupting permanent teeth
  • Reduces the risk of injury to protruding teeth

How does orthodontic care benefit your child’s overall oral health?

Properly aligned teeth and jaws contribute to improved oral health. Straight teeth are easier to clean and maintain, reducing a patient’s risk for tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health issues. Additionally, a balanced bite ensures proper chewing and digestion, alleviating strain on the jaw joints and reducing the likelihood of headaches and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.

Now and always, our team in Carlsbad is committed to transforming smiles and improving your child’s oral health.

From the first step in the office the doctor was very friendly and helpful and the office is so inviting and kid friendly. My daughter was very nervous at first due to other dentist offices not being very patient and understanding but this place totally made her love the dentist again the assistant that attended to my daughter was extremely nice, patient, and taking time to explain everything to her before proceeding with anything just overall professional, inviting and an awesome place we'll be seeing them soon. Dr. Fazeli has built a great team and fully recommend this dentist for kiddos.

My husband and I recently had the pleasure of visiting Discovery Children's Dentistry & Orthodontics in Carlsbad with our 10-year-old son, and we couldn't be more impressed. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the office was clean and inviting. Gabby, our dental assistant, was amazing with our son, making him feel comfortable and at ease throughout the visit. Dr. Fazeli was equally wonderful, taking the time to explain everything to us and making sure we felt heard and cared for. What sets Discovery Children's Dentistry apart is their focus on creating a kid-friendly environment while still providing top-notch dental care. We appreciated not feeling rushed or pressured into unnecessary treatments.

My son walked out of his first appointment and said, “Mama, I LOVE the dentist!” This appointment exceeded all expectations. The staff is warm and kind and Gabby made Luke feel so comfortable and calm! It’s every parent’s wish to have their child calm and reassured at this type of appointment. Dr. Fazeli introduced herself right away—she is warm, welcoming and such a professional. She walked us through X-Rays and immediately gave Luke’s teeth a check. Our son was thrilled to have gone to the dentist! LOVE it here and would recommend this practice to any parent!
