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.
Montrose 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 Montrose’s tight-knit community of families, building treatment plans that fit small-town schedules just minutes from home.
Montrose is a census-designated place (CDP) in Los Angeles County, California, United States. It is located in the Verdugo Mountains and bordered by Glendale to the west and La Crescenta-Montrose to the east. The town is known for its quaint Old Town shopping area and antique stores, with a small town feel supported by a population of just 20,192 as of the 2010 census.
Montrose sits in the valley at the base of the Verdugo Mountains and the Angeles National Forest, with both mountain ranges visible from town. It’s conveniently close to Sunland-Tujunga, Glendale, Pasadena, Burbank, Altadena, La Crescenta, and La Canada Flintridge, each just a five to ten minute drive away.
The area now known as Montrose was originally inhabited by the Tongva people, who later renamed the area Tujunga (“place of the old woman”). The area was part of Rancho Tujunga, a land grant given to Corporal José María Aguilar in 1839 by Governor Juan Bautista Alvarado. Aguilar built a ranch house here on the land in 1841.
In 1906, developers Louis and Horace Dart, Jr. bought Aguilar’s ranch and subdivided it. They built a small shopping district on what is now Honolulu Avenue, and named it “Montrose” after a town in Scotland. The first streetcars arrived in Montrose in 1911, making it easier for residents to get to Pasadena and other cities in the area.
Today, Montrose keeps its small-town feel with a lively mix of local businesses and antique shops centered on the Montrose Shopping Park along Honolulu Avenue.
The Montrose-Crescenta Chamber of Commerce, founded in 1958, sponsors community events throughout the year, including the annual Montrose Christmas Parade, held since 1960.
Montrose is served by the Glendale Unified School District, home to two elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school.
Montrose is located in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains, about 10 miles north of downtown Los Angeles. It has a Mediterranean climate, with average temperatures ranging from highs of 85 degrees in the summer to lows of 55 degrees in the winter.
Montrose families often plan around the town’s tight community calendar, from back-to-school in the Glendale Unified School District to the annual Montrose Christmas Parade each December. Many parents time new phases of treatment around the school year, starting over summer or winter break so kids aren’t adjusting to new wires or aligners during finals week or a big community event.
With the Verdugo Mountains Trail, Crescenta Valley Park, and John C. Fremont Park all nearby, Montrose kids and teens tend to stay active outdoors. We always recommend a properly fitted mouthguard for braces patients playing sports, and a sturdy case for Invisalign patients heading out for a hike or a picnic.
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 Montrose itself. Our Glendale office is a short drive away and sees Montrose 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.
