Redlands Family Orthodontist for All Ages
What Is a Family Orthodontist?
A Redlands family orthodontist is a specialist who treats children, teens, and adults under one roof, offering everything from early evaluations to clear aligners and retainers. At Chamberlain Family Orthodontics, we care for every smile in your household, so one trusted team supports your family through every stage of treatment.
So what makes a family orthodontist different from a general dentist? Dentists handle cleanings, fillings, and overall oral health. Orthodontists complete additional years of specialty training focused entirely on tooth movement, bite correction, and jaw development. Dr. Alexandra Chamberlain-Umanoff is a Board-Certified Orthodontist, and that extra expertise matters when your child needs Phase I care or your teen wants Invisalign clear aligners.
Continuity of care is the real win for busy Redlands families. Your kiddos can start with early monitoring through our 7&up club, move into braces or aligners as teens, and even bring mom and dad along for their own straight smile. One practice, one record, one team that knows your whole family from the very first visit.
Why Choose a Redlands Family Orthodontist?
Choosing a Redlands family orthodontist means fewer practices to keep track of and more time enjoying life. When everyone in your household sees the same team, scheduling gets simpler, treatment plans stay coordinated, and your kids grow up feeling at home in our family practice.

Great smiles make the world a better place, and we love watching Redlands families discover that together.
Our Family Orthodontist Treatment Process in Redlands
Our orthodontic treatment process at Chamberlain Family Orthodontics follows five clear steps: a free consult and iTero digital scanner evaluation, a custom treatment plan review, the start of active treatment with Invisalign or braces, progress checks using in-office visits and Dental Monitoring, and finally retainers to protect your new smile for life.
Here's what to expect at each step:
- Free consult and digital evaluation. Your first visit includes a friendly tour, a chat with Dr. Craig or Dr. Alexandra, and a quick iTero digital scanner session. No pressure, no surprise fees.
- Custom treatment plan and option review. We walk you through every orthodontic option that fits your goals, lifestyle, and budget. You'll see the plan, the timeline, and the affordable financing details up front.
- Begin treatment. Whether that's Invisalign clear aligners, LightForce clear braces, metal braces, or Phase I care for your kiddo, we get you started with everything you need to feel confident at home.
- Progress checks and Dental Monitoring. Many visits happen right from your phone through Dental Monitoring, so you spend less time driving and more time living. In-office check-ins happen every 4-8 weeks as needed.
- Retainers and lifelong follow-up. Once we celebrate your appliance removal, you'll get a Vivera clear retainer and our "nighttime for lifetime" plan to keep your straight smile looking great for years to come.
Is Family Orthodontic Care Right for You?
Family orthodontic care fits patients of nearly every age. If you have crowding, gaps, an open bite, a crossbite, or other bite concerns, you're likely a candidate. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic check-up by age 7, and adults of any age can pursue straight smile goals as well.
Here's how care typically looks across the family:
- Kiddos (ages 7 and up): Early evaluation through our 7&up club helps us spot smilestones at the right time. Not every child needs Phase I treatment, but every child benefits from monitoring.
- Teens: Braces and Invisalign work beautifully for active lifestyles, with options that fit sports, music, and school photos.
- Adults: Discreet Invisalign clear aligners, InBrace hidden braces, and affordable financing for touch-ups make treatment realistic at any stage of life.
- Patients with bite concerns: From crowding and crossbites to open bites and spacing issues, our team welcomes a wide range of cases and meets each one with care, patience, and a plan built around you.

Frequently Asked Questions
At what age should my child see an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an orthodontic check-up by age 7. At this age, enough permanent teeth have come in for Dr. Chamberlain to spot developing concerns like crossbites, crowding, or jaw growth issues. Early evaluation doesn't always mean early treatment, but it gives us the chance to monitor smilestones and step in at just the right time. That's exactly what our 7&up club is built for.
How much do braces or Invisalign cost in Redlands?
Costs vary based on the option you choose, treatment length, and complexity. At Chamberlain Family Orthodontics, we offer transparent pricing during your free consult, with 0% interest in-house financing and initial payments as low as $250. We also offer a 10% family member discount when more than one person in your family starts treatment, making care more affordable for the whole household.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
Most orthodontic treatment takes between 12 and 24 months, though some cases finish sooner and others take a bit longer. Factors like age, the complexity of your bite, and how consistently you wear your Invisalign clear aligners or follow care instructions all play a role. During your free consult, Dr. Craig or Dr. Alexandra will give you a personalized timeline based on your specific goals.
Do you treat adults as well as children?
Absolutely. Chamberlain Family Orthodontics is a true family practice, which means we welcome patients of every age. Adults often choose Invisalign clear aligners or InBrace hidden braces for a discreet option that fits work and social life. Whether you're starting fresh or want a touch-up after years out of retainers, Dr. Craig and Dr. Alexandra would love to help you finally get the straight smile you deserve.
Is a consultation really free?
Yes, your first visit is a free consult with no obligation. You'll meet Dr. Craig or Dr. Alexandra, our Board-Certified orthodontist, tour our family practice, get an iTero digital scan, and review your orthodontic options together. We'll cover timing, pricing, and affordable financing so you can make an informed decision. No pressure, no hidden fees, just answers.
