About

Haven Orthodontics in Encinitas holds American Board of Orthodontics certification — a voluntary distinction earned by fewer than half of practicing orthodontists — for digital treatment planning on North El Camino Real. Skeletal malocclusions involving mandibular asymmetry require coordinated evaluation between orthodontic and spinal-alignment disciplines, a clinical pathway this women-owned practice develops with Leucadia Chiropractic Wellness Clinic for craniocervical assessment. The practice completed dental training at UCLA School of Dentistry with induction into the Omicron Kappa Upsilon national dental honor society before earning a Master of Science in Orthodontics and passing the multi-day ABO board examination. Three-dimensional diagnostic imaging on an iCAT cone-beam CT unit maps root positions and airway dimensions, enabling DIBS indirect bracket placement and iOrtho custom aligner therapy calibrated to each arch. Post-orthodontic TMJ rehabilitation for patients transitioning out of active treatment coordinates jaw-stabilization protocols with Gaspar Doctors of Physical Therapy for myofascial release and joint mobilization. The most complex treatment plans involve two-phase interceptive-to-comprehensive orthodontics combining palatal expansion appliances with full fixed brackets, requiring twenty-four to thirty months of skeletal and dental correction across mixed-dentition and permanent-dentition stages.
