Sierra Madre has a small-town spirit, and we believe orthodontic care should feel personal, too.
Hambleton Orthodontics is a family-owned practice in Pasadena, and we welcome children, teens, and adults from Sierra Madre who want a doctor who knows their name. Our team takes time to listen, explains every option in plain language, and builds a plan around your life.
Sierra Madre families hike, run, and play sports, and braces or aligners shouldn’t slow them down. Ask us about mouthguards and how to protect your teeth and appliances during activities. We will talk through what to expect so your treatment fits the way you already live, whether you are on the trail, on the field, or in the classroom.
We are not a chain, and we do not rotate doctors. You’ll see the same team throughout your treatment, and we expect to see our patients as neighbors for years. That continuity helps us notice small changes early and keeps your care consistent. It also means you never have to retell your story at each visit.
The doctor who starts your child’s treatment is here to finish it, and our family plans to be here when your child’s children need us. Three generations of Hambleton orthodontists have cared for Pasadena-area families from the same office, so the people you meet at your first visit are the people who stay with you through every adjustment and your final retainer. That long view means the people you trust are always here, and you never have to explain your history from the beginning.
Sierra Madre residents value things that are built to last, and that is exactly how Hambleton Orthodontics has operated since 1955. Our family practice in Pasadena has treated patients from across the San Gabriel Valley for three generations, and we bring that same long-view thinking to every case we take on. We are not here to move quickly and move on — we are here to get the outcome right, and we stay involved through every step to make sure it holds.
Treatment at our office is shaped around your life, not the other way around. If your family is outdoors a lot — hiking, running, playing sports — we will talk about how to protect your teeth and appliances during those activities so braces or aligners do not become a disruption. We also understand that scheduling appointments in a busy Sierra Madre household takes planning, and we do our best to stay on time and offer appointment windows that work for you.
Whether you are a parent looking into treatment for your child, a teen figuring out which option fits your schedule, or an adult who has been thinking about this for years, we approach your case with the same care. Every new patient starts with a comprehensive orthodontic evaluation where we look at your full bite picture before recommending anything. If you have questions before coming in, we are happy to answer them, and the first visit is always at no cost.
Whatever your age, we start with your goals and your bite, then match you with the approach that fits. Here are the options most Sierra Madre patients ask about.
Braces can address many alignment and bite concerns for children, teens, and adults.
Ceramic clear braces use tooth-colored brackets for a more discreet look during treatment.
Removable clear trays offer patients flexibility for bracket-free treatment.
Retainers protect your results, and we teach you how to wear and clean them so they last.
Sierra Madre families tend to ask about sports, adult treatment, and whether now is the right time to start. Here are honest answers to the questions we hear most.
Yes, but protection matters. Mouthguards are designed to protect teeth and appliances during sports, and our team can advise you on what to use for your activity.
No. Adults come to us for braces and aligners all the time, and many say they wish they had started sooner. We review your goals and explain what treatment may involve.
Not every child does. We recommend a first checkup around age 7, and we will tell you whether to start treatment now, later, or not at all. We offer pediatric orthodontics for younger patients.
We offer a free consultation so you can meet our team and learn about your options before you decide. Read about your first visit to see what to expect.
Our office is at 200 S Oak Knoll Ave, Suite 201 in Pasadena, about 10 minutes from Sierra Madre. The drive is straightforward, and most families find it easy to work appointments around school schedules and activities.
Yes. We offer in-house payment plans that spread treatment costs across the course of care, and we accept Cherry financing for families who prefer a third-party option. Our team reviews the numbers with you at your consultation so there are no surprises.
Treatment length depends on your case. Many patients finish in 12 to 24 months, but more complex bite concerns can take longer. We give you a realistic estimate after your evaluation and update it if anything changes during care.
Three generations of our family have cared for Pasadena-area smiles for more than 70 years. We treat children, teens, and adults with braces, ceramic clear braces, and Invisalign, and we walk you through every step so you always know what to expect.
Hambleton Orthodontics offers a free consultation — a good way to understand your options and get honest answers before making any decisions. Take the first step and contact our office to schedule yours.
