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.

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
We love Dr. Fazeli and her team at Discovery Children's Dentistry! Everyone is so warm and welcoming and my daughter loves the playroom and toy token at the end!
Dr Fazeli and her team are the best there is! Our family has been patients with Discovery Children’s Dentistry for a few years now, and each and every visit has been incredible. Everyone in the office is welcoming and warm, and the level of care we receive there is unmatched. I highly recommend this practice for pediatric dentistry!
My brother has down syndrome and he is incredibly nervous at any doctor appointment. But he connects so beautifully with everyone there from the moment he walks in and we check in at the front desk. Im so grateful for Gaby’s patience and humor through his nerves. It makes all the difference in making his cleaning a fun experience. And Dr. Fazeli is so gracious, sweet and calming. I really feel like its a whole team experience. And my brother leaves happy every time. I couldn't be happier with this office.
Best Dentist and even take Dental - Cal. They are great with my daughter who is autistic and my son that had previous bad experiences with dentists and now feels totally comfortable going 😊
I’ve had such a wonderful experience bringing my children to Discovery Children’s Dentistry. The entire staff is incredibly kind, patient, and welcoming, which makes such a difference when bringing kids to the dentist. They go above and beyond to make my children feel comfortable and at ease during every visit. Dr. Fazeli is very kind, gentle, knowledgeable, and take the time to explain everything clearly. My kids actually look forward to their appointments, which says a lot! I’m so grateful to have found a pediatric dental office we can trust. Highly recommend to any parent looking for excellent dental care for their children.
I take my kids, ages 5 and 9, to Discovery and have had a great experience both with the cleanings as well as a cavity filling. They make my young kids feel comfortable from start to finish which is not always the case. The dentist is kind and thorough.
Dr. Fazeli and her staff were so great with my son who unfortunately had an appliance placed incorrectly causing him a great deal of discomfort. They fit him in promptly and were so gentle and made the removal so easy! I also really appreciated that she took the time to answer my questions after since our son is a more complicated case than most. The office also had a nice play area and a fun prize at the end which my son loved!
We love this dental office. The staff are all lovely and kind. It’s clean and well managed and our kids are always comfortable and love going.
Highly recommend bring your kids here. The office is so fun for the kids, staff is fantastic. The dentist is extremely kind and warm. My son’s first dentist apt was extremely fun for him and I’m going to be coming back from now on. Best decision I made. I wish I could see her as an adult client haha ❤️ my son wants to come back because of his experience was truly awesome and fun .
Clean office, nice and friendly staff, patient and kind dentist. Great office for those who has special needs kids.
From the front desk to the dental chair, every visit feels welcoming and professional. I truly appreciate the time you take to explain everything clearly and make each appointment comfortable. Extend my gratitude to everyone in the office - you make going to the dentist genuinely a positive experience. Warm regards Michael McIntosh
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.
My kids love Dr. Fazeli and the team at Discovery Children’s! The team is so kind and my kids enjoy the atmosphere? They even asked me when they get to come back!
