At Miles of Smiles, we provide advanced orthodontic appliances to help children, teens, and adults achieve healthier, more functional smiles. Appliances are often used alongside braces or Invisalign® to guide jaw development, improve bite alignment, and support long-term results.

Families in Temecula, Hemet, and surrounding areas choose our practice because we combine proven orthodontic appliance solutions with compassionate care. Whether it’s early growth guidance, malocclusion treatment, or airway-focused care, we offer solutions tailored to each patient.

What We Use Orthodontic Appliances To Treat

Our customized appliances are used to address a wide range of needs, including:

  • Crowding or spacing issues
  • Crossbite treatment and other bite corrections (overbite, underbite, open bite)
  • Narrow upper jaw or palate
  • Misaligned teeth before or after braces/aligners
  • Thumb sucking or tongue thrusting habits & malformation caused by these habits
  • Jaw pain or TMJ discomfort
  • Sleep-related concerns with airway support such as sleep apnea in conjunction with doctor approved care

We use malocclusion treatments to fix a wide variety of issues, including cross-bite correction in adults without surgery.

Types of Orthodontic Appliances

Retainers

Retainers are often employed as maintenance after orthodontic treatment is completed. In some cases where alignment issues are minor, retainers can be the chosen course of action.

Expanders

Orthodontic expanders or palatal expanders widen the upper jaw and improve bite alignment. 

Spacers

These orthodontic appliances create room between teeth or protect space between teeth during treatment. Spacers are often used to create space between teeth before braces.
