Services
Invisalign
Invisalign uses removable clear aligner trays to discreetly straighten teeth without food restrictions or hygiene challenges. Dr. Heidi Starnes, a certified Invisalign provider, creates customized treatment plans for patients in Newport Beach and surrounding areas. This option suits teens and adults seeking aesthetic, comfortable orthodontic care with minimal disruption to daily life.
Braces
Metal and clear braces offer precise tooth movement through brackets and wires. Starnes Orthodontics provides modern, smaller metal brackets and stain-resistant ceramic options for discreet treatment. Patients can personalize metal braces with colored elastics, while clear braces blend seamlessly with natural tooth color for a subtle appearance.
Myofunctional Therapy
Certified orthodontic myofunctional therapy addresses improper tongue and lip function to improve orthodontic outcomes. This therapy prevents relapse by correcting habits like tongue thrusting before or during braces treatment. It enhances treatment efficiency and stability, particularly for patients with functional oral issues affecting dental alignment.
Holistic Dentistry
Holistic dentistry at Starnes Orthodontics prioritizes biocompatible materials and whole-body health. We minimize unnecessary X-rays and collaborate with naturopathic specialists to create integrative treatment plans. This approach ensures orthodontic care supports overall health, focusing on airway function, posture, and systemic well-being through jaw development.
AcceleDent
AcceleDent speeds orthodontic treatment by up to 50% using micro-vibrations to enhance bone remodeling. Patients wear the hands-free device for 20 minutes daily, reducing discomfort and treatment duration. This non-invasive option works with braces or aligners, offering a faster path to a straighter smile without compromising comfort.

Report
Dr. Starnes balanced the art and science of Orthodontia with our daughter's case, which was a challenging scenario brought to Dr. Starnes from another practice. Dr. Starnes solved the challenge and our daughter was elated - so were we - and her teeth & smile look beautiful. Our son also benefited from Dr. Starnes for his first round of braces - we look forward to the results from his second round. We would recommend Dr. Starnes and her team to anyone looking for Orthodontics. Thank you Team Starnes!

Dr. Starnes and her team were fantastic. I am 58 years old and this was my first experience with orthodontia. The staff was kind, fun, and professional. My teeth look fantastic. I will miss seeing them for my regular check-ins.
