Straight Teeth. Confident Smiles. Personalized orthodontic care designed to improve alignment, comfort, and long-term oral health—for kids, teens, and adults.
Having a straight smile does not only look good, it is important for maintaining good oral health. It helps with comfort and confidence too. Here at Fontana Dental Associates, we provide orthodontic services for both children and adults. We help patients achieve a healthier, and more balanced smiles.
Are you thinking about orthodontic treatment, for yourself or for your child? Our team offers modern solutions, care and guidance through the process.
The specialty in dentistry that focuses on aligning your teeth and jaws is called Orthodontics. It ensures properly functioning teeth and an aligned smile.
This is what orthodontics can fix:
Orthodontics corrects teeth positions, and helps maintain a good oral health. This prevents problems like uneven and excessive tooth wear, jaw pain, and problems with oral hygiene.
When teeth are not aligned, it makes it harder to keep the mouth clean. If left untreated, these issues can pose a heavy risk on your oral health.
Some benefits of orthodontic treatments are:
Everyone of all ages can receive orthodontic treatment and improve their life if properly planned.
Kids
Kids can get evaluated for possible early orthodontic treatment plans to help guide their teeth as they grow.
Teens
Teens are common candidates for braces since they typically have all their permanent teeth in. It’s an important time to get teeth guided to become properly aligned.
Adults
Most adults strive to improve their health and smiles by getting braces. Advanced orthodontic technology makes getting braces in today’s world more comfortable and discrete.
Everyone’s smile is different. That is why we at the Fontana dental office believe in custom orthodontic care, rather than a generic approach for everyone. For every orthodontics patient, we personally evaluate their teeth, bite, and oral condition to begin the treatment process.
Some of the things we analyze are:
After this, we are able to set a personalized plan in your treatment to help guarantee the best results while also keeping the issues of discomfort at the lowest possible level.
Innovation in orthodontic care has greatly improved the efficiency and comfort with which we are able to provide services. Our primary focus is on the gradual and safe solutions to the alignment of teeth in a way that does not interfere with your day to day activities.
Modern orthodontic care greatly values:
Rest assured, we continuously and strategically guide the progress of your smile to achieve the best results.
While feedback is welcomed, the process of orthodontic treatment is one that will take a considerable amount of time and focus.
The process of treatment has a system that is uniform across multiple patients, but the time spent at each step varies greatly from patient to patient.
The First Evaluation
The first step of your journey with your orthodontics is the first evaluation, which will determine the goals, expectations, and desired outcome of the treatment.
Active Treatment Phase
The pre-treatment plan has the orthodontic appliances positioned to adjust the teeth in accordance with the approved plan, which allows active treatment to begin.
Monitoring and Adjustments
Throughout the course of treatment, monthly visits are scheduled to adjust the appliances and monitor the changes to the teeth.
Retention
Once the teeth are in the appropriate positions, the retention phase begins. Retention is vital to the success of treatment and is implemented to avoid the problem of closing the gaps and leaving the teeth to drift back into the positions.
With each step of the process, you will be well guided to ensure that you are well-informed and confident at all times.
It is normal for patients to feel a bit alienated with orthodontic treatments. Our staff focuses on the patients to let them feel comfortable and inform them what to do and how to take care of their new smiles.
You will be able to lead a normal lifestyle with little to no restrictions when undergoing treatments.
When teeth are properly aligned, oral hygiene practices can be improved, which in turn reduces cavities and disease. Additional benefits of aligned teeth are that they distribute biting forces evenly to reduce the wear and possible jaw issues.
The active treatments are the orthodontics that will build a stable and functional structure for the oral health of a lifetim
Families need to be flexible with scheduling appointments across multiple visits. We keep families updated and work with them on timelines so they don’t miss milestones.
We give parents encouragement to ask as many questions as they need. We want them to help explain to their kids why it’s important to stick to the orthodontic care plan.
We keep our promises to the families of Fontana and earn their trust through honest feedback, custom care, and encouragement.
Our team aims to help you with both functional and aesthetic smiles so you can feel proud of your smile.

Dr Celina is kind, gentle, warm, and welcoming. It is evident that she values patient care with the way she explains and communicates what she is seeing based on what I shared or what she observes during her examination. Going to the dentist is scary, but Dr Celina makes the experience comfortable and less scary. I cannot thank her enough!

There are not enough words to describe my husband & my experiences with this wonderful group of skilled professionals. My sweetheart will cowboy through whatever pain or difficulty. We appreciated their dedication to ensuring a good fit for his new appliances. For myself, let’s just say I’m the oldest baby you’ve ever seen. Terrified of the thought of going to the dentist… until we discovered this jewel of Dentistry. Pain was minimal and the care was kind & thoughtful. Even the paperwork was handled simply & professionally. In my 70+ years I have never had such a good dental experience. I made them promise to always be my dentist, seriously…

Hands down best dental experience ever. Walking in, the receptionists were very kind and I was greeted with such welcome. The atmosphere is very cozy and familial, bringing comfort before a nerve wrecking dental appointment. Dr. Celina was incredible at her job, being very thorough with procedures. She has such gentle hands, I was genuinely scared I was going to fall asleep as she worked on my teeth. Hope to stick to this dentist a lifetime!
