Dr. Bita is so amazing! Her office provides the best skill and service. She spent plenty of time explaining the treatments and every step to me. She’s the epitome of patient-centered quality orthodontic care and I’d recommend anyone to her!
Dr. Bita is the best in the west! She is patient, kind and extremely well-studied in the best treatment methods (from USC – fight on!). She takes her time to give the best treatment plan and delivered a wonderful smile that I can be proud of every day. The office staff is so friendly and efficient, too! Every appointment was a wonderful experience. I highly recommend that you visit her office to experience their great work! You won’t be disappointed!
Dr. Bita is an exceptional orthodontist. She was extremely thorough and very knowledgeable. Dr. Bita listened to my concerns and provided detailed step by step directions on how to take care of my teeth. I highly recommend her if you want to have healthy and beautiful smile!!! She’s an A in my book.
Dr. Bita is a god send. She is by far the best orthodontist and I finally have my million dollar smile after my Invisalign treatment. Five stars all the way.
I absolutely loved Dr. Bita! She is not only professional but friendly as well. The staff is always polite and Dr. Bita is always very good with the kids. I highly recommend this place and we are very glad we found her!!
Smiles For All Ages
Children
The American Association of Orthodontics recommends that all children be seen as early as age 7 to evaluate if any serious orthodontic conditions exist. An early evaluation can provide an opportunity to provide conservative treatment evaluations through monitoring of the shifting of teeth.
Teens
As a young adolescent, braces may likely be the last thing you want to get, but it is our goal at Dr. Bita Orthodontic Group to make your experience as enjoyable and comfortable as possible. Treatment time will vary depending on the severity of the alignment and bite, but most importantly is your compliance. Keeping up with your treatment gets your braces off sooner!
Adults
Orthodontic treatment is no longer just for kids. We offer many treatment options tailored toward adults, including Invisalign and lingual (hidden) braces. Whether your teeth shifted after childhood braces or you’re ready to take the first step towards your dream smile, our team is here to help.
