What Age Is Too Late for Braces?
When we think of braces, it’s common to picture teenagers flashing metal smiles in the school hallway. But the truth is, more adults than ever before are seeking orthodontic treatment.
We're here to help make your dream smile a reality. It's our specialty!
We offer early orthodontic evaluations for children to monitor developing teeth and jaws and recommend treatment when there is a clinical benefit to starting early.
The teen years can be an ideal time to address tooth and bite concerns, with personalized treatment options designed around each teen's needs and lifestyle.
It's never too late to consider orthodontic treatment as an adult. Personalized options can address tooth and bite concerns while helping you achieve a healthier, more confident smile.

Welcome to Hwang Orthodontics
Hwang Orthodontics provides personalized orthodontic care, including Damon braces and Invisalign clear aligners, for patients from Monrovia, Arcadia, San Gabriel, San Marino, Pasadena, and beyond.
We believe orthodontic care should be tailored to each patient's needs and stage of development. For children, that means monitoring developing teeth and jaws and recommending early treatment when there is a clinical benefit to starting sooner.
For teens and adults, we create individualized treatment plans to address tooth and bite concerns while considering each patient's goals, preferences, and lifestyle.
Invisalign clear aligners offer a removable, discreet approach to addressing a range of tooth alignment and bite concerns. At Hwang Orthodontics, we provide personalized Invisalign treatment options for children, teens, and adults based on their individual orthodontic needs.
