Dr. Redford is the best! My 2 sons had great experiences here, one with Invisalign and the other with traditional braces. I could not be more happy and satisfied with the excellent care and expertise of Dr. Redford and the entire staff! I never had issues getting appointments or even waiting too long to be seen, they were always on time. I would highly recommend this office and Dr. Redford.

Why Lake Elsinore Families Choose Burke & Redford Orthodontists
Orthodontic Care for Growing Smiles in Lake Elsinore
Many families start by calling to schedule a free consultation with Dr. Redford so we can monitor dental development in your child by checking spacing, crowding, bite relationships, and jaw growth patterns. If everything looks stable, we may recommend observation and periodic checkups until the timing is ideal.
When early intervention is appropriate, we offer orthodontic care during childhood to guide development and reduce the chance that problems become more complex later.
For adolescents, we provide teen orthodontic treatment options that address bite correction and alignment during growth spurts. Depending on the needs of your teen, treatment may involve aligners or braces.
Some teens qualify for a teen clear aligner option when the case is suitable and compliance is strong. For other cases, braces provide the level of control needed for predictable outcomes.
Braces Options Offered (Metal, Ceramic, Damon)
Metal Braces
Metal braces remain one of the most dependable orthodontic tools for correcting bite and alignment concerns in kids and teens, especially when the case requires comprehensive movement. They’re durable, effective, and work well during growth. Learn more about what to expect from braces for kids and teens.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces can be a good fit for some teenagers who want a more subtle look while still getting the effectiveness of fixed braces. Dr. Redford will evaluate bite needs and hygiene to confirm whether ceramic braces are appropriate.
Damon Braces
Damon braces use a self-ligating mechanism that may support efficient tooth movement in appropriate cases. This system can also help some patients maintain hygiene more easily. Candidacy is based on your child’s specific bite and treatment plan.
Each braces option is selected with long-term stability, comfort, and oral health in mind.
