Orthodontic Options for a Confident Smile

Dr. Lee can help you adjust crooked, crowded, or widely spaced teeth with orthodontics for adults. Adults everywhere are taking advantage of orthodontic treatment. You, too, can achieve your dream smile with the help of Dr. April Lee!

“I got very lucky and found Dr. Lee. …I just feel happier.”—Terri

Many adults have avoided starting orthodontics because they are not comfortable with the idea of bulky metal braces. Fortunately, Dr. April Lee provides several sophisticated braces options, including:

Invisalign: Invisalign Clear Braces consist of a custom-made series of clear aligners. Say goodbye to food restrictions, lip and cheek irritation, and train-track braces. You can maintain a sophisticated look and advanced comfort with Invisalign braces for adults.
Self-Ligating Braces: Because In-Ovation Braces are self-ligating, in addition to reducing discomfort and accelerating your treatment time, they can reduce the frequency of checkup appointments typically needed with the older “twin style” brackets. In-Ovation braces also come in both metal and ceramic styles for enhanced esthetics should your specific orthodontic case need to include braces for some duration of time.

Here at Burlingame Smile Studio, we also provide non-braces orthodontic options like retainers and appliances.

Testimonials

“I had a great experience working with Dr Lee. I started the process last year and in about 10 months I was ready to move to the retainers, the change has been impressive and I’m really satisfied.”

Denise C.

“My retainers broke and Dr. Lee was able to see me the next day. As for the results, they were fantastic. I’m showing off my pearly whites in all my photos now. Now only if Dr. Lee can work wonders on my dating profile!”

Jimmy V.

“Burlingame Smile Studio has literally been the best orthodontic office ever(I’ve visited a few)!! Getting braces was something that I always dreaded, especially getting braces as an adult. Dr. Lee and the whole staff at Burlingame Smile Studio have made this journey so easy that I can’t even believe I’ve already hit my 1 year mark.”

Joseph R.

“My overbite needs a surgical intervention, which Dr. Lee had told me in my first consultation and she has done a phenomenal job getting me ready for the surgery in such a short period of time. She communicates with my surgeon and promptly shares updates with me. I am extremely happy with the progress so far and confident that I will continue to feel the same through the remainder of this journey.”

Abhishek G.

“Came to see Dr. Lee for a set of new retainers but decided to get Invisalign instead. One of the best decisions made! Thanks to Dr. Lee, I'm really happy with my teeth and my smile :)”

Diana L.

“Thrilled with my experience! Dr. Lee took me as a transfer patient after leaving an orthodontist I wasn't happy with. My only regret is not starting with her in the first place.”

N D.

“Loved working with them. Attentive and caring, skilled group of people. I got to them as a second opinion after I was told I needed actual braces (train tracks) to fix my adult ortho problems (medical necessity, not just cosmetic) the team at Smile Studios said it was totally possible without that and they were right, now 2 years later I have a beautiful result!”

Suzanna J.

“I got a retainer to prevent it from turning again, but inevitably lost it. Fortunately, getting a new one from Dr. Lee was really easy (and I got extra just in case)!”

Eugene C.

“Dr Lee and her staff have been wonderful. With every appointment they have been kind, professional, and attentive. They have educated me and my 2 sons about every aspect of care. I highly recommend Dr Lee’s practice. ( and easy, free parking )”

Mechele S.

“Dr. Lee rocks! Being an adult with braces, I'm sure I am a little more demanding and inquisitive than the average child patient she sees. But, she always happily puts up with all of my many questions and requests.”

C. G.

“I very much enjoyed my experience at Burlingame Smile Studio with Dr. Lee and her staff. All of them are so professional and friendly throughout my braces journey. My case was quite severely as an adult, and they were still able to help me along the way.”

I-Chieh W.

“I had a wonderful experience at Burlingame Smile Studio! I'm so thankful to Dr. April Lee and her team, for helping me to smile confidently now 😊 They are professional, friendly, and very caring.”

Adult Braces for Every Situation

Invisalign and In-Ovation braces are some of the adult orthodontics available in Burlingame. Orthodontic treatment is highly beneficial for patients of all ages, including adults. In fact, the American Association of Orthodontists states that one in five orthodontic patients is over the age of 21.

At Burlingame Smile Studio, adults will definitely feel right at home. A full 50% of our orthodontic patients are adults! Treatment in adult life can dramatically improve your overall appearance and your self confidence.

Equally important is improving your oral health. Orthodontic treatment will reduce your risk of:

Virtual Orthodontic Monitoring

Here at Burlingame Smile Studio, we care about your health and safety as well as giving you a beautiful, straight smile. This is why we use a virtual orthodontic monitoring program called Dental Monitoring, which allows you to do many of your regular checkups from the comfort and safety of your own home!

With Dental Monitoring, you just have to take a simple selfie—wherever you are—and we can use that to analyze your treatment and make sure everything is going according to plan. This means fewer office visits for you, but still the same amazing results of professional orthodontic monitoring.

Visit our Virtual Orthodontic Monitoring page to learn more!

Orthodontics with Other Dental Work

If you’re wondering whether you can get braces with missing teeth, dental crowns or implants the answer is YES! Many patients have missing teeth and dental work. In fact, some patients pursue orthodontics to help them plan for future dental treatments—such as dental implants or veneers—that work better with straight teeth. We’re happy to provide orthodontic treatment to anyone who needs it!
