Services
Invisalign
Invisalign clear aligners offer discreet, removable orthodontic treatment for children, teens, and adults. Using advanced 3D imaging technology, we create customized aligner trays that gradually shift teeth into proper alignment without traditional brackets or wires. This treatment option provides greater comfort and convenience while maintaining aesthetic appeal throughout the process. Our orthodontists develop personalized treatment plans that accommodate patients' specific dental needs and lifestyle requirements.
Braces
Traditional and ceramic braces provide effective solutions for correcting misaligned teeth and bite issues. Available in metal or clear ceramic options, our braces utilize modern bracket technology and gentle archwires to achieve precise tooth movement. Treatment durations vary based on individual needs, with regular adjustments ensuring optimal progress toward achieving properly aligned smiles for patients of all ages.
Orthodontic Appliances
We provide specialized orthodontic appliances including retainers, expanders, and spacers to support comprehensive treatment plans. These devices address specific dental development needs, create proper spacing for emerging teeth, and maintain post-treatment alignment. Our team ensures proper fitting and provides detailed instructions for effective use and maintenance of these essential orthodontic tools.
TMJ Treatments
Our TMJ treatment options address temporomandibular joint disorders through customized splints and guards. These solutions alleviate symptoms like jaw pain, clicking, and discomfort while improving joint function. Treatment plans may incorporate bite adjustments and other orthodontic interventions to achieve long-term relief from TMJ-related issues.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
We coordinate wisdom teeth removal procedures to prevent potential dental complications. Our orthodontists assess eruption patterns and recommend timely extractions when necessary to maintain proper alignment and oral health. This service integrates with comprehensive treatment planning to ensure optimal outcomes for patients undergoing orthodontic care.

I just want to say that I hate going to the dentist/ortho because I have had bad experiences. My anxiety is so bad when it comes to treatment especially pushing it off because of those bad experiences. I'm really glad that I got referred by my old dentist Kirk before he moved. Dr. Jergensen and his team are super nice and helpful. Katie helped me with my rewards points while I got my braces tightened.
The whole staff is amazing and welcoming. I would have never said that going to the orthodontist would be the same experience as getting my nails and hair done. The staff is very friendly, and makes my experience very relaxing. I'm never anxious and I'm not traumatized anymore because they actually know what they are doing and that's what I want. I trust them with my teeth and I never have any concerns with them lol hemet has been blessed with this amazing team! Thank you so much, I'm no longer scared. I am so impressed that I have even referred my coworkers.

They're are two locations, one near French Valley of Winchester Rd & another in Temecula. I went to the one near French Valley! I honestly wouldn't go here if you're an adult! If you are an adult DO NOT go here! They were nice at first but after i paid off my Invisalign, i received NO EMAILS OR CALLS from them even tho i am still doing my Invisalign treatment! It was time to get the rest of my trays & i knew i had an appointment some time in early spring & i didn't get an email to confirm my appointment like usual & they usually call if i don't confirm!
They will just take your money & be assholes about it! They staff is nice but the dentist is a smart ass, which is probably why he works with kids. They are great with kids I assume, all the times I've been there while they were working with kids, they've been really good with them. i wouldn't recommend this place!

My younger brother has been seeing Dr. Jergensen and his staff to fix some serious crowding and help straighten his teeth. While I haven't been to any other orthodontists in the past, Miles of Smiles sets the bar high with the level of care and attention they give to their patients. Dr. Jergensen even pointed out that my brothers difficulty breathing out of 1 of his nostrils was due to his dental situation, and was able to fix that problem within 6 months of treatment.
The office is clean, staff is friendly, and they're always decorated for the holidays. In the waiting room, there's plenty of seating, hand sanitizer, free chapstick, a giant fish tank, tv for kids, as well as massage chairs that you won't have time to try out because they call your name so fast. What more could you ask for? I highly recommend Miles of Smiles to anyone who needs an orthodontist!
