Our Vision: San Diego Orthodontics For All Ages
When you choose Stormberg Orthodontics, you can rest easy in knowing that each member of our dental team is extensively trained in all facets of professional orthodontic services! As a staff, we regularly conduct training sessions and attend continuing education courses to stay up-to-date with the latest orthodontic techniques – such as Invisalign and Invisalign Teen – so that we can provide you with the most advanced orthodontic treatments possible.
Our Mission: Braces, Invisalign, Invisalign Teen & More
Our mission at Stormberg Orthodontics is simple: Provide customized orthodontic treatment plans for each and every one of our patients!
No two patients have exactly the same dental problems, as some orthodontic issues are very minor in nature, and some are quite severe. At Stormberg Orthodontics, it’s important that each patient is treated according to their individual needs! In our office, a treatment plan for each patient is tailored specifically to their unique orthodontic needs using the most advanced computer imaging programs available!
Our Promise: Receive Expert Care From Your San Diego Orthodontist
At Stormberg Orthodontics, we want to assure you that safety and quality are always on our minds! Our goal is to offer our patients with the best orthodontic products available, ensuring that a maximum level of safety is always maintained so that you can feel at ease during any orthodontic procedure you may need. On a daily basis, our staff provides the highest level of orthodontic treatment in an exciting and challenging environment, creating a harmonious bond between ourselves and all of the wonderful patients we serve!
Here at Stormberg Orthodontics, we promise to:
Never Reuse Braces Or Wires
It is common practice in many orthodontic offices today to utilize “second-hand” and “recycled” braces and wires. We feel that each patient deserves the best; therefore, in our office we do NOT “reuse” the same braces or wires on a second patient.
Utilize The Highest Quality Materials For Braces
The quality of the braces, wires and removable appliances used can differ; just like the difference in quality available in the various household items that you purchase. We use only the highest quality orthodontic materials in order to provide you the very best treatment.
Provide Heat-Activated Wires For Braces
Orthodontic wire is now available with the ability to reactivate itself whenever the patient rinses with warm liquids. This means that teeth move more efficiently with fewer appointments and more convenience to our patients. Treatment time is reduced dramatically with the use of these advanced wires.
Always Wear Protective Gear
We wear protective facemasks, eyewear, and gloves as recommended by the federal offices OSHA and the CDC.
Sterilize Orthodontic Tools & Appliances
All of our orthodontic instruments are thoroughly sterilized with an ultrasonic cleaner and steam autoclave sterilizer after each procedure.
Offer Friendly Customer Service
Our practice prides itself on being customer focused, as we strive to offer our patients over-the-top customer service. We set out to see each patient in a timely manner, return phone calls promptly, and care for patients and their families with tender love and care!
The Stormberg Orthodontics Difference
We understand that orthodontics are not always considered to be “fun,” so at Stormberg Orthodontics, we have set out to change the status quo by providing more than just high quality orthodontic treatments!

Answers To Your FAQs From Dr. Kurt Stormberg
American Association of Orthodontists recommend you should schedule your child’s first appointment by age 7. Orthodontic treatment and a child’s growth can complement each other. By timing orthodontic treatment to predictable stages of dental development, the orthodontist may be able to take advantage of your child’s growth and development. Some problems that can be treated quite well in a growing child may require corrective surgery or permanent teeth to be extracted if treated after growth has occurred.
Before you leave, be sure to have all the necessary information needed to complete our new patient forms, including your insurance information. Then, Dr. Stormberg will complete the examination, which can include X-rays and photographs, to properly diagnose you or your child’s condition. If you want to learn even more about what happens, you can find more information on our First Visit page.
Dr. Stormberg will thoroughly explain your options to you after he completes the exam, and will recommend the best course of treatment. You’ll learn the answers to five important questions during your consultation appointment, including:
- Is there an orthodontic issue, and if so, what is it?
- What treatment is needed to correct the problem? Can braces and/or Invisalign correct the problem?
- Will any teeth need to be removed?
- How long will treatment take?
- How much will treatment cost?
We can only determine treatment costs after your initial consultation is completed, as each patient’s case is unique. You can learn more about our Financing & Insurance policies on our website, or speak to one of our staff members at the office. We’ll review your financing options with you, and will work with you to maximize your insurance benefits.
Adult orthodontics is becoming more common, as orthodontic treatment helps increase overall happiness level, health, and self-esteem. It’s never too late for a beautiful smile!
