Dr. Charles Hambleton is a third-generation orthodontist at Hambleton Orthodontics, the practice his grandfather founded in Pasadena in 1955.
A Pasadena native and the son, grandson, and brother of orthodontists, Dr. Charles grew up watching what a confident smile can do for a kid, a family, and a community. That upbringing gave him more than a career path. It gave him a lasting appreciation for the trust patients place in their orthodontic team.
He earned his dental degree at the University of Southern California, continuing the Hambleton family’s long connection to USC. Before specializing, he practiced as a general dentist in Santa Barbara, and he credits those years with making him a better orthodontist: he plans treatment with the whole mouth and a patient’s long-term dental health in mind, and he understands firsthand what referring dentists need from an orthodontist. He completed his orthodontic residency at the Georgia School of Orthodontics.
Dr. Charles brings a fresh perspective and deep roots to the practice, along with a commitment to the values that have guided Hambleton Orthodontics since 1955: thoughtful treatment, excellent results, honest communication, and real care for every patient.
Outside the office, you’ll find him surfing, kitesurfing, or on the golf course. He lives in Pasadena with his wife, Alexandra, and their three children, Ella, Dean, and Lily.
