Personalized Orthodontics in San Jose

Every smile deserves a treatment plan built around comfort, efficiency, and facial balance.
At our Rose Garden office, we offer a full range of orthodontic options designed to meet your needs and lifestyle.

Facial Structure Evaluation

Every smile begins with understanding facial balance. During your comprehensive orthodontic evaluation, our doctors examine your teeth, jaws, and facial structure to assess growth patterns, symmetry, and functional relationships. This foundation helps us identify underlying factors such as narrow jaws, crowding, or TMJ imbalance that could influence your airway and overall health.

Advanced Digital Imaging

We use state-of-the-art 3D digital imaging and radiography to visualize your dental and skeletal structures in detail. This advanced technology allows Dr. Phelps and Dr. Cohen to evaluate bone structure, tooth position, and airway space with exceptional precision. These insights guide your personalized treatment plan—ensuring predictable results and optimal function.

Comprehensive Bite Analysis

A healthy bite is essential for comfortable chewing, speech, and joint balance. Through our bite and muscle function analysis, we assess how your teeth come together and how your jaw joints move. This step allows us to detect early signs of TMJ dysfunction, clenching, or malocclusion that may contribute to tension, headaches, or poor posture.

Airway Health Assessment

Because orthodontic health is deeply connected to breathing, we also perform an airway evaluation to identify mouth breathing, sleep-disordered breathing, or restricted nasal airflow. By addressing airway issues early, we create treatment plans that improve facial growth, enhance sleep quality, and support whole-body wellness—reflecting our truly cross-functional approach to orthodontics.

Symptoms

Orthodontic issues can often impact your entire body. Look out for these common symptoms:

Crooked or crowded teeth
Overbites, underbites, or crossbites
Difficulty chewing or biting
Speech difficulties
Jaw pain or discomfort
Teeth grinding (bruxism)
Mouth breathing

These symptoms are more than just cosmetic concerns. Research indicates that malocclusion (misaligned teeth) affects

up to 98% of the population,

leading to problems with chewing, speech, and jaw function. Untreated, it can increase the risk of temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD), dental caries, and periodontal disease.

Invisalign® & Clear Aligner Therapy

Our Invisalign® and clear aligner systems provide a discreet, comfortable alternative to traditional braces—perfect for professionals, students, and teens who prefer flexibility.
Using advanced 3D digital scans, Dr. Phelps and Dr. Cohen design aligners that gently move teeth into position while supporting airway health and jaw balance.
This functional, aesthetic approach ensures not just a beautiful smile, but a healthier foundation for long-term stability.

Traditional & Ceramic Braces

For patients who need more complex tooth movement, we offer traditional metal and ceramic braces with low-profile, precision-engineered brackets for comfort and accuracy.
Our orthodontists use detailed digital imaging and functional bite analysis to guide treatment that enhances both facial symmetry and airway development.
Every adjustment is made with your comfort, stability, and overall wellness in mind.

Early Orthodontic Evaluation for Children

Early orthodontic care helps guide proper facial growth and prevent crowding, bite issues, or airway restrictions before they worsen.
Dr. Phelps and Dr. Cohen recommend that children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7—the ideal time to identify developing concerns and intervene proactively.
Our early treatment plans support healthy jaw development, proper breathing, and a confident smile for life.

Protecting Your Orthodontic Investment in San Jose’s Rose Garden

Once your active orthodontic treatment is complete and your teeth have been guided into their ideal positions, the next step is just as important—orthodontic retention. Retention keeps your smile stable for years to come by preventing teeth from gradually shifting back. After braces or Invisalign®, custom retainers help preserve your alignment and maintain the results you’ve achieved.

At Phelps & Cohen Orthodontics – Rose Garden Office, we offer both removable and fixed retainers, designed around your comfort and lifestyle. Removable retainers make it easy to clean and wear as needed, while fixed retainers provide constant, worry-free support.
Our San Jose orthodontic team works closely with every patient to create a personalized retention plan that protects their results, ensuring long-term function, balance, and confidence in their smile.
