Celebs in Invisalign & Braces



It’s always fun to spot a celebrity wearing braces because it reminds us that no one is perfect!  Even the rich and famous seek out their friendly Van Nuys dentist to help them adjust their crooked teeth.

We recently surfed the net and spotted a nice arrangement of celebrity photos on Pinterest of some of our favorite celebs wearing braces and teeth straighteners.

Justin Bieber wearing invisalign The amazing thing about Invisalign is that the alignment trays are crystal clear so they didn’t hinder Justin Beiber’s boyish good looks while his teeth were getting straightened! You can also get Invisalign® in North Hollywood – just ask us!

Katherine Heigl with Invisalign
Katherine Heigl was also spotted wearing Invisalign. The clear, wireless alternative to traditional metal were virtually indiscernible, allowing the paparazzi to focus on her, not her braces.

Selena Gomez with bracesSelena Gomez opted for the traditional silver braces. Treatment time is usually the shortest among all
types of braces and rarely break!
She still looked as cute as ever!

Ciara Bravo  #Invisalign  #Big Time Rush 
Ciara Bravo went for the Invisalign as well.
Unlike metallic braces, there are no wires to poke or brackets to chafe her mouth. The aligners are extremely comfortable to wear and are contoured to her teeth 


Hamlin Dental Group  offers traditional braces and Invisalign.

From Sea to Shining Teeth!

And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air, gave proof to the night, that our flag was still there... 

Yep, it's 4th of July again, and while that might just be another day in much of the world, in the U.S. it's the day we celebrate our independence, and we do so the way Americans know best: with explosions and yummy treats!

While hot dogs and burgers off the grill, fresh apple pie and s'mores are undoubtedly delicious, let's be honest - they're not the best thing in the world for your teeth! Of course, at Hamlin Dental Group, we believe in gentle dentistry and good oral hygiene, but we also believe in personal freedom, so we'll leave your 4th of July BBQ choices up to you. However, we'd also like to make a few health conscious suggestions:

For instance, instead of a sugary ice cream and pie, our dentist in Northridge suggests you satisfy your sweet tooth with a patriotic parfait made up of raspberries, cherries, blueberries, and vanilla-infused Greek yogurt parfait. You can also put a bit of zing in your American spirit by embracing our melting pot of cultures with spicy options like Bare Naked Nachos - dressed with mozzarella cheese, chicken an dip, or Blackberry, Strawberry, Basil and Brie Pizza Crisps!

Look, we don't want to get in the way of an American tradition, we're just saying, part of what makes America great is our freedom to make our own food choices. We certainly hope that you'll continue to choose our friendly dentist in North Hollywood for your dental needs!
