"Even autism was not a obstacle...‎ - vervalin‎ - Apr 21, 2008

I owe a debt of gratitude to Dr. Greenberg and her staff. My 14-year-old son Zachary has autism. He has tantrums and limited speech. Nevertheless this did not stop my son from getting and tolerating his braces. Thanks to Dr. Greenbergs wonderful and caring staff my son went through this "Journey Through the World of Braces" for two years, and came out with a knockout smile. The girls will be noticing my "handsome son," believe me. Throughout my sons experience they always made accommodations and allowances to make Zachary feel comfortable and at ease. My son is so happy to have his handsome teeth ! With much appreciation, Jeff Vervalin"
How I feel, my great relief,...‎ - davidfonth‎ - Mar 31, 2008


"Without the braces on me, I feel very different, but happy. At first I didn't want to get braces but, when I look back at it, I'm very glad with myself that I did get braces. My advise to people who are planning or not sure if they want to get braces( or if you have them on and want them off) is this: Dr. Greenburg and the staff here is really friendly and will help you out if there is anything bothering you or if something doesn't feel right with your teeth. When they have fixed your problem, (which I am sure that they always will) it will make you glad with relief to have gotten your braces here. So to those people who are not sure, thinking of, or if you want to get your braces off, keep them on or get them on because when you are 21 or 32 or maybe even 43, you'll always be glad to know that you have great teeth, thanks to those braces and that great treatment (and let's not forget Dr. Greenburg and her great, caring staff) from 2035 North Lake Avenue Altadena 91001"

Our office really loves our patients and putting individual time into each one of them. We truly appreciate them not just for business but choosing us to be a part of their lives. So call today and see why so many have come to love Vickie Greenberg orthodontics and staff!!

Emergency Care - Getting Braces in Los Angeles (LA)

True orthodontic emergencies are very rare, but when they do occur we are available to you. As a general rule, you should call the office when you experience severe pain or when you have a painful appliance problem that you can't take care of yourself. We'll be able to schedule an appointment to resolve the problem.

You might be surprised to learn that you may be able to temporarily solve many problems yourself until you schedule an appointment with our office. When working with your appliances, you need to know the names of the parts of your appliances so you are able to identify what part is broken or out of place. After alleviating your discomfort, it is very important that you still call our office as soon as possible to schedule a time to repair the problem. Allowing your appliance to remain damaged for an extended period of time may result in disruptions in your treatment plan.

The following solutions may help you relieve your discomfort:

Poking Wire

Using a pencil eraser, push the poking wire down or place wax on it to alleviate the
discomfort.

Loose Bracket or Band

If your bracket or band is still attached to the wire, you should leave it in place and put wax on it. If the wire comes out entirely, wrap the bracket with a tissue.

Loose Wire

Using tweezers, try to place your wire back into place. If doing this and using wax does not help, as a last resort use a small fingernail clipper to clip the wire behind the last tooth to which it is securely fastened. If your discomfort continues, place wax on it.

Loose Appliance

If your appliance is poking you, place wax on the offending part of your appliance.

Headgear Does Not Fit

Sometimes headgear discomfort is caused by not wearing the headgear as instructed by your orthodontist. Please refer to the instructions provided by your orthodontist. If the facebow is bent, please call our office for assistance. Surprisingly, the headgear may hurt less if it's worn more, so be sure you're getting in the prescribed hours.

General Soreness

When you get your braces on, you may feel general soreness in your mouth and teeth may be tender to biting pressures for three to five days. This can be relieved by rinsing your mouth with a warm salt water mouthwash. Dissolve one teaspoonful of salt in 8 ounces of warm water, and rinse your mouth vigorously. Placing Orabase on the affected area may help; this can be found in your local pharmacy. If the tenderness is severe, take aspirin or whatever you normally take for headache or similar pain.

The lips, cheeks and tongue may also become irritated for one to two weeks as they toughen and become accustomed to the surface of the braces. You can put wax on the braces to lessen this. We'll show you how!
