What Makes Orthodontic Care Here Different
.avif)
Four Decades in the Coachella Valley
Schantz & Moranda Orthodontic Care has served the Coachella Valley and Yucca Valley for over 50 years — long enough that we now treat the children and grandchildren of our first patients. That continuity means we understand how smiles grow, change, and hold up over a lifetime.

Advanced Technology That Serves You
We invest in technology because it makes your treatment more comfortable, more precise, and often faster — not to look impressive. Depending on your needs, your care may involve 3D CBCT imaging, iTero digital scanning that replaces goopy impressions, LightForce custom 3D-printed brackets, and Damon self-ligating braces engineered for gentler tooth movement and fewer visits.

We Look Beyond Straight Teeth
Most orthodontists focus on alignment. We start one step earlier — with how you breathe. A straight smile that sits on top of a restricted airway or an underdeveloped jaw is only half the picture. Our airway-focused approach means we evaluate the structures behind your smile, not just the teeth in front of it. (More on that below.)

Dr. Moranda and his associate Dr. Nguyen lead our clinical team as a Platinum Invisalign Provider, supported by treatment coordinators and staff who take the time to know you by name. When you come to our practice, we want you to feel like family — not just a check-up on the schedule.
