Braces are still the most reliable way to move teeth in many cases, and today’s brackets are smaller, smoother, and more comfortable than ever. At our Sunnyvale office on West Fremont Avenue, OrthoWorks treats kids, teens, and adults with traditional braces under the care of nine board-certified orthodontic specialists. Sunnyvale families have trusted OrthoWorks for years because we treat every case as a 30-year result.
Braces for Sunnyvale Patients
Braces remain the gold standard for cases involving significant crowding, severe rotation, growth-dependent bite correction in younger patients, and complex multi-arch movements. We treat students from Homestead High School (a Steve Jobs alma mater), Cupertino Middle School, West Valley Elementary, and the wider Cupertino Union School District and Fremont Union High School District feeder areas. Adults from the West Valley neighborhood, along with Sunnyvale residents working at the surrounding Silicon Valley campuses, choose braces when they want a fixed, predictable result.
For younger Sunnyvale patients, the American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. That visit is complimentary at our Sunnyvale office, and most kids walk out with a monitor-and-grow plan rather than immediate treatment. When braces are the right answer, timing them to growth often shortens overall treatment and improves outcomes.
What Sets OrthoWorks Apart
Dr. David Shen, DMD, founded OrthoWorks. He earned his dental degree at the University of Pennsylvania, served on the UCSF faculty, and chairs the Advisory Board at Penn’s School of Dental Medicine. He is the founding president of the Northern California Asian Dental Association. The nine board-certified orthodontists on our team have more than 100 combined years of experience, and we have treated more than 60,000 patients across the Bay Area. OrthoWorks is the longest-standing privately owned orthodontic group in the region.

What to Expect
Your first visit is a complimentary orthodontic consultation. We complete a full bite exam, take photos and any necessary imaging, and walk you through every option in front of you, including braces, Invisalign, and Phase I early treatment when appropriate. Braces placement takes about an hour and is comfortable. We see you every 6 to 8 weeks for short adjustments. Most full cases finish in 18 to 24 months. Every case ends with custom retainers and a long-term retention plan.
