While there are highly advanced orthodontic treatments that give you faster treatment, nearly invisible treatment, and maintenance-free treatment, there is a reason that traditional metal and clear braces are still around. Their process for aligning your smile and your bite is still incredibly effective. When discreet treatment isn’t a necessity, traditional metal braces are still a highly reliable and sometimes preferable treatment option for straightening teeth. If you’re interested in discreet treatment, clear braces offer the effectiveness you need and the discretion you desire.
Invisalign treatment provides numerous benefits to make straightening your teeth as easy as smiling.
La Crescenta patients are treated by Dr. Amir Dadgar-Yeganeh, a Board-Certified Orthodontist and Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics with academic ties to UCSF and UCLA. Dr. Amir has transformed over 15,000 smiles across the Los Angeles area and works closely with La Crescenta’s young families, building treatment plans around Crescenta Valley’s school calendar and active, outdoor-focused lifestyle.
La Crescenta is a beautiful neighborhood in the Los Angeles area offering a suburban feel close to the city, home to many young families and professionals who enjoy its quiet, close-knit atmosphere and excellent public schools.
La Crescenta’s unrivaled weather inspired the city’s tagline, “The Balcony of Southern California.” A deep gap in the hills to the south gives the community a view toward the Pacific and a steady source of sea breezes that bring welcome afternoon relief from summer heat, a comfort not found in many interior communities. Winter and summer activities are plentiful in the mountains just to the north, home to the internationally known Southland Sports Area at the foothills.
Crescenta Valley history dates back to 1798, when Don Jose Maria Verdugo founded the 36,000-acre Rancho San Rafael. Developers did not settle the rancho’s bountiful territory until between 1870 and 1920, when they began laying the groundwork for the villages that became today’s Crescenta Valley.
The Crescenta Valley stretches from Sunland and Tujunga in the city of Los Angeles to La Canada Flintridge, and includes parts of Glendale, La Crescenta, and Montrose.

La Crescenta families spend a lot of time outdoors, from hiking the foothill trails near Deukmejian Wilderness Park to weekend sports at the Southland Sports Area. For kids and teens in braces, that active lifestyle means we always recommend a properly fitted mouthguard for contact sports, and for Invisalign patients, a sturdy case to protect trays during a day on the trail.
With Crescenta Valley’s excellent public schools drawing families to the area, many parents plan treatment phases around the school calendar, starting new stages over summer or winter break so kids aren’t adjusting to new wires or aligners during finals week. The community’s cooler, breeze-fed summers, thanks to the same gap in the hills behind the “Balcony of Southern California” tagline, also make outdoor aligner care a little easier than in hotter inland neighborhoods.
Cost depends on case complexity and whether you choose braces or Invisalign. Traditional metal braces typically run $3,000 to $7,000 in the Los Angeles area, and Invisalign generally falls between $3,000 and $8,000. We accept most PPO insurance and offer flexible payment plans, with a full cost breakdown provided at your free consultation.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first screening by age 7, giving us time to monitor jaw growth and tooth eruption before deciding whether early treatment is needed.
For mild to moderate crowding, spacing, and bite issues, Invisalign works as well as braces. More complex cases often still need traditional braces for predictable results.
There is no dedicated orthodontic office inside La Crescenta itself. Our Glendale office is a short drive away and sees La Crescenta families regularly, with early, late, and Saturday hours built around school and work schedules.
Yes. Dr. Amir treats patients of all ages, from early Phase 1 screenings for children to full Invisalign and braces treatment for teens and adults.
