Parents Ask
Can kids, teens, and adults all get orthodontic care here?
Yes. Dr. Natalie Dang, a board-certified orthodontist, treats children, teens, and adults in our Carlsbad office, from early evaluations to braces and Invisalign. Not every child needs treatment right away, and she’ll tell you if monitoring makes more sense. No referral is needed: call (760) 438-1279 to book a consultation.
Discovery Children’s Dentistry & Orthodontics provides personalized orthodontic care for children, teens, and adults in Carlsbad. Whether your child needs an early evaluation, your teenager is ready for braces, or you’re considering Invisalign for yourself, our orthodontic team can create a treatment plan based on your needs and goals.
One Office, Every Stage
Creating Confident Smiles at Every Age
A straighter smile can support confidence and long-term oral health at any age. At Discovery Children’s Dentistry & Orthodontics, we offer orthodontic treatment for children, teens, and adults, along with flexible payment plans to help make care more manageable.
Understanding Orthodontics
Orthodontics focuses on correcting misaligned teeth and jaws. We provide treatment for children, teens, and adults, from early orthodontic interventions and teen treatments to adult braces and Invisalign. Every treatment plan considers tooth alignment, bite function, facial balance, and long-term oral health.
Orthodontic Care for Every Stage
Orthodontic needs can change with age. We provide early evaluations for growing children, treatment options for teens, and braces and clear aligners for adults.
Early Orthodontics
An early evaluation allows Dr. Dang to check how your child’s teeth and jaws are developing and determine whether treatment or monitoring is appropriate.
Teen Orthodontics
Teen orthodontic treatment can address crowding, spacing, and bite concerns using braces or clear aligners.
Adult Orthodontics
Adults can choose from metal braces, clear ceramic braces, and Invisalign based on their orthodontic needs, preferences, and treatment goals.

Insurance and Financing
Orthodontic treatment costs vary based on the patient’s needs, treatment type, and expected length of care. We accept most dental insurance plans and are happy to file claims on your behalf. Because orthodontic coverage and out-of-pocket costs vary by plan, our team can help you understand your benefits before treatment begins.
Our insurance and financing options include OrthoBanc financing with 0% interest and payments as low as $119 per month for qualified patients. CareCredit is also available, and we accept HSA and FSA cards for eligible expenses.
Meet Dr. Natalie Dang, Our Board-Certified Orthodontist
Dr. Natalie Dang is a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics. She graduated Cum Laude from the UCLA School of Dentistry before completing her orthodontic specialty training and earning a Master of Science in Craniofacial Biology at the University of Southern California.
Dr. Dang listens to each patient’s concerns, explains the available options, and develops a treatment plan based on their individual orthodontic needs.
The Benefits of Orthodontic Treatment
Orthodontic care can support oral and overall health for children, teens, and adults in several ways:
- 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 Support Oral Health at Every Age?
Properly aligned teeth and jaws contribute to improved oral health. Straight teeth are easier to clean and maintain, reducing the patient’s risk for tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health issues. A balanced bite also supports proper chewing and can reduce strain on the jaw joints.
Our Carlsbad team is committed to improving oral health and confidence for children, teens, and adults.

From Our Patients
Dr. Afsoon Fazeli is kind and knowledgeable dentist. She was patient with all my questions and gave me a lot of helpful information. Her transparency helped me to understand my son’s oral situation so that I felt very informed moving forward with our next steps.
This clinic is awesome! The staff is friendly, and everything is modern and well-thought out to make it a great experience for kids. Dr. Fazeli does a wonderful job, and my children look forward to their next visit, can't ask for anything more than that 🙂
We always have a great experience at Discovery Dentistry. Dr Fazeli (Dentist) and Dr. Dang (Orthodontist) are very good with kids and excellent professionals. The staff are all kind and helpful. We are very happy with their services.
