Clear Aligner Provider in Hollister, CA

Clear aligners stand out as a revolutionary orthodontic solution, offering a discreet, comfortable, and effective way to achieve a straighter smile. At Monterey Bay Orthodontics in Monterey, CA, we specialize in transforming smiles with aligners, utilizing this advanced treatment to align teeth without the need for traditional braces.

The process works through a series of custom-made, clear aligners that gently shift your teeth into the desired position over time. Each aligner is meticulously crafted to fit snugly over your teeth, ensuring comfort and minimizing visibility. The process begins with a detailed consultation, during which digital scans are taken to create a precise treatment plan tailored to your unique dental structure.

One of the primary benefits of clear aligners is their virtually invisible appearance, allowing patients to undergo treatment without the aesthetic concerns associated with metal braces. Additionally, the removable nature of the aligners facilitates easier eating, brushing, and flossing, promoting better oral hygiene during treatment.

Choosing an orthodontist for your treatment, rather than a general dentist, offers the advantage of specialized expertise in tooth movement and alignment. Orthodontists receive extensive training in these areas, ensuring that your treatment plan is both efficient and effective in achieving optimal results. At Monterey Bay Orthodontics, our expertise in clear aligner treatment makes us the preferred choice for patients seeking a seamless, comfortable path to a beautifully aligned smile.

Braces in Hollister, CA

When it comes to achieving a perfectly aligned smile, braces have long been the gold standard in orthodontic treatment. Here at Monterey Bay Orthodontics in Hollister, CA, we are proud to be recognized as braces specialists, offering a variety of braces options to meet the individual needs and preferences of our patients. Our selection includes traditional metal braces, discreet clear braces, elegant champagne braces, and innovative KLOwen brackets.

Braces work by applying continuous, gentle pressure on the teeth, gradually shifting them into the desired position over time. This method not only corrects alignment but also improves bite issues, enhancing overall oral health. The benefits of choosing braces for orthodontic treatment are extensive, ranging from improved dental hygiene to a boost in self-esteem and confidence.

At Monterey Bay Orthodontics, we understand that each patient’s orthodontic needs are unique. Therefore, we offer personalized consultations to determine the most effective treatment plan. Whether you’re looking for the durability of metal braces, the aesthetic appeal of clear or champagne braces, or the customizability of KLOwen brackets, our team is equipped to provide expert guidance and care.

Thank you MBO for the best experience getting my angel aligners on today. It started with Lindsay who accommodated my schedule and got me in earlier than the appointment time, I appreciate it. And Gabby, you did an amazing job getting my teeth ready for the aligners and explained the whole process very thoroughly. Lastly, thank you Dr. C for making this such a seamless process! I appreciate you all. 11/10 visit⭐️⭐️⭐️

M C.
I definitely recommend going to this orthodontist office. My dentist recommended them due to a bite issue I am having. I was immediately impressed at how thorough they all were. The efficiency of the staff, from the xray tech, to the front desk and other technicians was like clockwork . The doctor took his time and gave me many solutions on how they could help me but also gave me other solutions for me to try at home. It was obvious he cared about my situation and not to just try to get my business. They were all friendly and all worked together as a great team. All very impressive.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your positive feedback! We are delighted to hear about your thorough experience at MBO Orthodontics. Our team is committed to providing exceptional care and solutions tailored to each patient's needs.

Support, encouragement and kindness was provided to me to keep pushing forward with my treatment plan.

You all continue to prove what a valuable part of our community you are.

Amy L.
We had a great experience with Dr. Criswell treating two of our kids. As a parent himself, he understands the needs of a family balanced with orthodontic needs only recommending what is necessary. As an added bonus, he is military friendly and gives a nice discount. I wish we were staying in the area for him to treat our other children.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review, Amy! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with Dr. Criswell and appreciate your kind words regarding his approach to family care.❤️ It's great that you're happy with our military-friendly services, and we hope to continue providing excellent care for families like yours. We wish you all the best!✨😁
Matthew R.
I met twice with Dr. Criswell for two consults and he seemed to genuinely want to help as I was experiencing tooth pain for 6 months due to possible traumatic occlusion. Even though orthodontics was not recommended, Dr Criswell spent extra time trying to help figure out what was causing the mystery pain. Thank you Dr. Criswell and team.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words, Matthew!😁 We're glad to hear that Dr. Criswell went above and beyond to help you with your tooth pain. Your satisfaction is important to us, and we appreciate your trust in our team. If you need any further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out!🦷✨
Corina Q.
My child was scared at first but they reassured her she would be perfectly fine. She left happy which made me happy she could trust the dentist. Thank you!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words! Your vote of confidence in our practice is why we do what we do!
America R.
Dr. Criswell and his office are all very kind and professional. I would definitely recommend his office to anyone seeking to get orthodontic treatment. I have been a patient of Dr. Criswell along with my two older children and now I am taking my youngest to see him. I wouldn’t trust anybody else, but Dr. Criswell.
Response from the owner:We appreciate you taking the time to leave us feedback on your experience. We work very hard every day to exceed our patients’ expectations!
Kirk T.
Thank you so much for making my smile beautiful! I appreciate your hard work and dedication throughout my treatment. I'm excited to show off my new smile!!
