About Orthodontics of Bixby Knolls

Orthodontics of Bixby Knolls operates on Atlantic Avenue in the Bixby Knolls area of Long Beach, 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.

Day-to-day oral health still comes down to the basics between visits — brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between the teeth, and limiting how often sugary food and drink appear through the day matters more than the total amount eaten at once. Regular professional care is what catches whatever those habits do not.

Digital X-rays are a routine part of dental care because they show what a visual exam alone cannot — decay forming between teeth, bone loss below the gumline, and how developing adult teeth are positioned in children. They use a low radiation dose and are taken on a schedule matched to individual risk rather than at every single visit.

Left untreated, small dental problems tend not to stay small. A minor cavity that would have been a straightforward filling can progress to needing root canal treatment and a crown, and early gum inflammation that would have reversed with a good cleaning can progress toward bone loss around the teeth. Catching things early is generally the difference in both effort and cost.

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.

What services does Orthodontics of Bixby Knolls offer?
Listed services at Orthodontics of Bixby Knolls include Braces. The full list is shown on this page.
Will I need a retainer after braces?
Yes, and indefinitely in some form. Teeth have a persistent tendency to drift back toward their original positions, and retainers are what prevent years of treatment from gradually undoing itself.
What age is best for braces?
Assessment around age seven is often suggested so developing problems can be spotted, though treatment itself usually starts later once enough adult teeth are through. Adults can be treated at any age provided the gums and bone are healthy.
How can I look after my teeth between appointments?
Brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and cleaning between the teeth daily covers most of it. Limiting how often sugary food and drink appear through the day matters more than the total amount consumed.

It was a nice and modern office and the staff was exceptionally kind and professional. Only apprehension was around my being there for 2 hours, but it was a consult and my first time being there… we’ll see if things continue to trend in a positive direction when I go back

I like all the dentists and hygienists I’ve worked with. Before my treatment, I told an assistant I didn’t know much about the procedure I was about to have (a dental implant) and she took the time to explain it thoroughly to me. That put me at ease. Being an older patient (in my 70’s) I appreciate that the dentists are professional, caring and respectful.

I’m currently being treated for braces here and my experience has been great so far. The staff is always friendly, professional, and makes me feel comfortable during my appointments. The orthodontist takes the time to explain the treatment process and answer any questions I have. The office is clean, organized, and appointments are usually quick and efficient. I’m really happy with the progress of my braces and would definitely recommend this office to anyone looking for orthodontic care.

I hadn’t been to the dentist in years and only went in because of an emergency after cutting myself and experiencing a lot of pain. From the moment I walked in, the entire staff treated me like family. They explained the condition of my teeth thoroughly and without any judgment. They also created a clear, realistic game plan to get me back on track. Despite my credit situation, they were able to help me with financing, which took a huge weight off my shoulders. The best part? Absolutely no pain! They go out of their way to make sure you’re comfortable. Even during my deep cleaning, I didn’t feel a thing. I now feel so much better…confident, pain-free, and finally taking care of my smile again. This team is not only professional, but truly kind and supportive. I highly recommend them to anyone who’s anxious about going to the dentist or hasn’t been in a while. You’ll be so glad you went.
