About Care Orthodontics

Care Orthodontics is a dental practice on Tully Road in the South San Jose area of San Jose, California. Traditional braces use brackets and wires to gradually move teeth into alignment, handling complex bite corrections and significant crowding more predictably than removable alternatives. Treatment commonly runs one to three years, with a retainer worn afterward to hold the result.

Continuity matters in dental care — seeing the same practice over time means your history, X-rays, and any patterns in your oral health are already on file, rather than starting from scratch at each visit. That familiarity is part of what a regular dental home offers beyond any single appointment.

Dental anxiety is common, and most practices are used to working with nervous patients — through clear explanations of what is about to happen, a slower pace where needed, and sedation options for patients who want them. Avoiding the dentist out of anxiety tends to make eventual treatment more involved, not less.

Children benefit from starting dental visits early, generally by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth coming through, mainly so they become familiar with the setting before any treatment is actually needed. Establishing that routine early tends to make ongoing checkups far less stressful for both child and parent.

Payment and insurance arrangements vary by practice and by treatment, so it is worth asking directly what is covered and what options exist for anything that is not, rather than assuming either way. Getting that clarified before treatment starts avoids surprises once it is underway.

Beyond any single treatment, most dental visits start with an examination — checking for decay, reviewing the gums, and looking at existing fillings or crowns — often alongside X-rays where there is a reason to look between or beneath teeth. That groundwork is what a dentist uses to explain any findings and set out next steps before you leave.

What services does Care Orthodontics offer?

Are braces or clear aligners better?
Fixed braces handle complex movements and severe cases more predictably. Aligners are removable and far less visible, but they only work while you actually wear them, so they suit people who will keep to the routine.
Do braces hurt?
Fitting them does not hurt, but teeth are usually tender for a few days afterward and again after each adjustment. It settles as the teeth adapt, and over-the-counter pain relief covers it for most people.
Is it normal for teeth to be sensitive to cold?
Mild, brief sensitivity is common and often relates to exposed root surfaces or worn enamel. Sensitivity that lingers after the cold is removed is more significant and worth having examined, as it can indicate the nerve is involved.

During the pass 12months here, I feel so positives everytime I came and they treat me well, especially Tina, she is very dedicated and sympathy.

This is my 3rd time getting braces (the first two times took place at other offices) but I can finally say I’m satisfied with the results! From the intake process to the braces removal, everything was carefully planned and I always felt like my needs/preferences were tended to. I often saw this one ortho assistant by the name of Ai, and I truly appreciate her for warmly welcoming me every time. The ortho assistant who removed my braces, her name is Thi and she was so gentle. I’m grateful to have completed my braces journey with this office and I recommend going here if you’re juggling between your options!

I’m very glad I chose Dr. Nancy and her team! All of the techs were attentive, warm, and really advocated for me throughout my treatment. Dr. Nancy is kind, competent, and I love how she balances aesthetics and function when designing a smile. She made sure I felt comfortable every step of the way. I also appreciated that she helped me finish treatment by the end of the year, exactly when I hoped to get my braces off. The front desk staff were friendly and welcoming as well. I’m very happy with my results. My treatment took 17 months, and the experience was excellent from start to finish!

I found care orthodontics because it was close in proximity to my college at the time, SJSU. They have been flexible, diligent, and great. They wanted my teeth to be in alignment and look aesthetically pleasing just as much as I did. Thank you - Erica. S
