A holistic approach to orthodontics at Twin Teeth

At Twin Teeth Orthodontics, we take a comprehensive, holistic approach to orthodontic care—one that looks beyond just straight teeth. We understand that the health of your smile is deeply connected to your airway, facial muscles, posture, and overall well-being. That’s why we’ve created a practice that blends advanced technology with supportive therapies to help our patients—children and adults alike—thrive inside and out.

Why should I get lightforce braces?

Your airway health plays a critical role in how you sleep, breathe, grow, and feel. Our practice specializes in airway-focused orthodontics that aim to optimize breathing function and support long-term health. Whether we’re treating a young child with early signs of mouth breathing or an adult struggling with sleep-disordered breathing, our diagnostic process goes far beyond a standard orthodontic evaluation.

We offer a comprehensive Airway Diagnostic Bundle, which includes:

CBCT airway analysis

to visualize the structure of the upper airway

Take-home sleep study

to assess sleep quality and screen for sleep apnea or related issues

With these tools, we create targeted treatment plans that not only align teeth and jaws, but also promote better sleep, improved oxygenation, and enhanced vitality.

In-house myofunctional therapy

We are proud to be the only orthodontic office in the Los Angeles area with a dedicated in-house myofunctional therapist. Our team includes Kimberly DeLand, a highly experienced Speech Pathologist and Orofacial Myofunctional Therapist with over 25 years of clinical expertise.

Kimberly and her team provide personalized therapy that focuses on:

  • Correcting oral and facial muscle function
  • Improving tongue posture and breathing patterns
  • Supporting clearer speech and balanced facial growth

Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy can help resolve issues like mouth breathing, tongue thrust, improper swallowing, and low tongue posture—foundational habits that, when addressed early, can accelerate orthodontic results and prevent relapse. By integrating this therapy into our treatment plans, we help patients achieve more stable, long-lasting, and health-focused outcomes.

Bespoke Smile Experience

Buccal facial massage

To further support you during your orthodontic journey, we’re thrilled to offer buccal massage therapy with Jacquelyn Garcia, a licensed esthetician with advanced training in intraoral techniques and facial sculpting.

This innovative therapy works both inside and outside the mouth to:

  • Release jaw tension
  • Improve facial symmetry
  • Support lymphatic drainage

It’s especially beneficial for patients experiencing tightness or puffiness from braces, clear aligners, jaw clenching, or TMD.

Jacquelyn’s background in holistic healing and esthetics allows her to deliver deeply therapeutic and rejuvenating care. Her sessions are designed to bring relief, relaxation, and radiance—leaving you feeling lighter, sculpted, and more at ease. This unique service is exclusively available in our office, allowing patients to seamlessly incorporate self-care and facial wellness into their orthodontic treatment.
