Around Santa Clarita

The Santa Clara River.

The Santa Clara River runs through the middle of the valley, and the city has grown up on both sides of it, from Canyon Country in the east to Valencia in the west.

Outside the city limits, the County’s Santa Clarita Valley Area Plan covers communities such as Castaic, Stevenson Ranch, Val Verde and Agua Dulce, which share the valley with the city’s four communities.

What is evaluated

Growth, bite and arch width.

Dr. Haykani reviews how the jaws and teeth are developing: growth, the bite, the width of the dental arches, oral habits, and history that may matter orthodontically. The evaluation is free, with X-rays and digital scans included.

What happens next

Monitor, treat, or refer.

Monitoring: when treatment is not needed yet, growth is watched at complimentary observation visits until the timing is right.

Orthodontic care: when treatment is orthodontically indicated, you receive the plan, timing and exact fee before you decide.

Medical evaluation: an orthodontic assessment does not diagnose sleep or breathing disorders. If something needs a physician, Dr. Haykani recommends a medical evaluation.
