Your trusted Evergreen orthodontist in San Jose—delivering comfortable, kid-friendly care and confident smiles that last a lifetime.

How it Works

Orthodontist

Evergreen families set high standards for their children’s healthcare, and when it comes to orthodontics, the right provider makes all the difference between a smooth, well-timed treatment and years of unnecessary complexity. Finding a board-certified orthodontist who works within a trusted pediatric dental practice, knows your child’s full dental history, and serves the Evergreen community without sending you across the Bay Area means your child gets thoughtful, coordinated care from start to finish.

Pediatric Dentistry of San Jose serves Evergreen families with comprehensive orthodontic care for children and teens, all under one roof with the same board-certified team your family already knows and trusts. Our orthodontist Dr. Zachary Hollander is a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics who brings advanced training from UCLA and Columbia University to every evaluation and treatment plan. Whether your child needs early interceptive treatment, traditional braces, or clear aligners, we have the experience and technology to deliver excellent results for Evergreen families.

Orthodontic Services for Evergreen Children and Teens

Evergreen children deserve access to the full range of modern orthodontic care, and we provide just that. Dr. Hollander offers both traditional bracket braces and Invisalign and other clear aligner systems, allowing families to choose the approach that best fits their child’s clinical needs, lifestyle, and preferences. Each treatment plan is built around a thorough evaluation of bite relationship, jaw development, and tooth alignment, not a one-size-fits-all protocol.

Traditional braces

Traditional braces remain one of the most reliable tools in orthodontics, particularly for more complex cases involving significant crowding, bite correction, or jaw alignment. Metal brackets and wires apply consistent, controlled pressure to move teeth into position over time. For Evergreen children who need comprehensive tooth movement or whose cases require precise, continuous force, traditional braces deliver dependable results.

Clear aligners

Clear aligner therapy, including Invisalign, uses a series of custom-made removable trays to gradually shift teeth into alignment. This approach appeals to many teens because the trays are nearly invisible and can be removed for meals and oral hygiene. Clear aligners work well for mild to moderate crowding, spacing issues, and certain bite problems. Dr. Hollander will assess whether your child is a strong candidate for aligners based on the complexity of their case and their level of maturity and compliance.

Why Early Orthodontic Evaluation Matters for Evergreen Families

Many Evergreen parents are surprised to learn how early orthodontic monitoring should begin. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that all children receive a first orthodontic screening by age 7. At this age, enough permanent teeth have emerged that Dr. Hollander can identify developing bite problems, jaw growth concerns, and spacing issues while the jaw is still growing and most responsive to guidance.

An early evaluation does not always mean early treatment. In many cases, the outcome is simply a monitoring plan that tracks your child’s development at regular intervals. When early intervention is appropriate, however, addressing issues during active growth phases can reduce treatment time, prevent more complex problems from emerging, and in some cases eliminate the need for tooth extractions later. Our pediatric exams and cleanings complement this process by keeping a close eye on overall dental development at every routine visit.

What to Expect at Your Child’s Orthodontic Consultation

Dr. Hollander’s consultations are thorough, unhurried, and designed to give Evergreen families a clear picture of where things stand and what the road ahead may look like. The appointment typically includes a clinical examination of your child’s teeth, bite, and jaw, along with any necessary imaging to assess what is happening below the gumline.

From there, Dr. Hollander walks families through his findings and discusses treatment options, timing, and what each approach involves. If treatment is not yet needed, he will explain the monitoring plan and what changes to watch for at home. Families leave with honest guidance, not pressure. Our practice is built on relationships with Evergreen families, many of whom have brought multiple children and multiple generations through our doors, and we believe in giving you the information you need to make confident decisions.
