A beautiful smile and a healthy bite…

to last a lifetime.

Welcome to Malovos Orthodontics

We believe orthodontics should be a Health Service, as well as a Cosmetic Service. Orthodontic treatment is EITHER tooth alignment, OR it is tooth alignment and bite correction.

There is a distinct difference, not only in the goals of treatment, but also in almost every aspect of practice. Tooth alignment is cosmetic only; bite correction brings health care into the picture. Many long-term problems of decline and degeneration in the chewing system can be avoided if the bite relationship is corrected during orthodontics. Malovos Orthodontics' training and treatment philosophy emphasizes harmony between the teeth and jaw joints for enduring facial beauty, gum tissue health, sound function, stability, and, of course, a beautiful smile. We are here to give you a beautiful smile and precision bite -- to last a lifetime!

Dr. Gerald Malovos treats both children and adults and is the only Roth/Williams trained orthodontist in the greater Santa Barbara region.
