Expander Treatment in Santa Clarita

Evaluation and starting treatment

Checked first, then planned for your case.

Dr. Haykani first evaluates the width of the upper jaw, the bite, the teeth and growth, with X-rays and digital scans included at the free consultation. If expansion is recommended, the type of appliance and the activation plan depend on the individual case.

Follow-up

Progress checked during treatment.

When an appliance needs adjusting at home, you receive exact instructions for your case. Progress is checked at follow-up visits, and the appliance may stay in place for a stabilization period after active expansion.

The office is open Sunday through Friday, 8 AM to 7 PM, with Sunday and evening appointments available.

  • It depends on growth rather than a set age. Dr. Haykani evaluates the upper jaw, bite and teeth at the free consultation and explains whether expansion is needed now, later, or not at all.

  • Some expanders are adjusted at home. If yours is, you receive exact instructions for your case before you leave the office.

  • Call or text the office. Orthodontic emergencies get a same-day response, and emergency visits are included in your treatment fee.
