As a parent, you want the very best for your child—and that includes their smile. If you've started noticing crowded teeth, bite issues, or your family dentist has recommended an orthodontic evaluation, you're probably asking yourself the same question many West Covina moms ask:
"Where should I take my child for braces?"
At The Smile Agency in West Covina, we understand that choosing an orthodontist is about more than just straight teeth. It's about finding a team you can trust, a doctor with experience, and an office where your child feels comfortable from the very first visit. Led by board-certified orthodontist Dr. Karen Guinn, The Smile Agency has been helping children, teens, and families achieve healthy, confident smiles for more than 30 years.
Walking into an orthodontic office shouldn't feel intimidating.
From the moment you arrive at The Smile Agency, you'll be welcomed by a friendly team that takes the time to get to know your family. We believe every child deserves personalized care, and every parent deserves honest answers about treatment options, timing, and costs.
Our goal is to make orthodontics a positive experience from beginning to end.
No two smiles are alike, which is why we never believe in one-size-fits-all treatment.
During your child's complimentary orthodontic consultation, Dr. Karen Guinn will perform a thorough evaluation to determine whether treatment is needed now or if it's best to monitor your child's growth for the future.
If treatment is recommended, we'll explain every option in clear, easy-to-understand language so you can make the best decision for your child.
Braces have come a long way over the years.
At The Smile Agency, we use advanced orthodontic technology designed to improve comfort and efficiency for many patients. We also offer Invisalign® for qualifying patients, giving families multiple options based on their child's unique needs and lifestyle.
We know orthodontic treatment is an investment in your child's future.
That's why The Smile Agency offers flexible financing options, low monthly payment plans, and works with many PPO insurance plans to help make treatment more affordable for families. The practice also offers complimentary orthodontic consultations, so you can learn about your child's needs before making any commitment.
For years, families throughout West Covina have trusted The Smile Agency to care for their children's smiles. Many of our patients are referred by friends, neighbors, siblings, and even parents who once received orthodontic treatment from Dr. Guinn themselves.
There's no greater compliment than caring for multiple generations of the same family.
Many parents assume they should wait until all of their child's permanent teeth have come in, but that's not always the case.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children have their first orthodontic evaluation around age 7. Early evaluations don't always mean early treatment—but they can identify developing concerns and help determine the ideal time to begin care.
A healthy, confident smile can make a lasting difference in your child's life. Choosing the right orthodontist is the first step toward making that happen.
If you're a West Covina mom looking for a caring, experienced orthodontic team, we'd love to welcome you to The Smile Agency.
