I’m truly grateful to this clinic. I had been to several other places, and they all told me I needed jaw surgery. It was upsetting and didn’t feel right — I just wanted to fix my bite and... feel okay smiling again.Here, for the first time, the doctors explained that the issue was caused by a misaligned bite and could be fixed with braces — no surgery needed. They were honest, kind, and confident in their approach. I trusted them, and I’m so glad I did.Everyone at this clinic — from the front desk to the doctors and assistants — treats you with so much care and respect. You never feel rushed or judged. I had been self-conscious about my smile for years. Now I smile constantly — not because I have to, but because I genuinely want to. I can’t thank this team enough for what they’ve done for me 🙏🙏🙏read more

Tatiana B.

Love the orthodontist. The staff members are really nice. They took care of me and my teeth. I got to experience having braces which didn’t hurt at all. I came out having a beautiful new... smile that I wasn’t scared to show off.read more

Casandra G.

Now that I am done with my braces, I can write a honest review. I had Damon braces (the newest & updated type of braces). Took a year and 1/2 which is not bad at all. It was comfortable to... wear and I had no issue with it. Every time I go in for my monthly appointments, I was greeted by the sweetest Tamara. She always greet me with a big smile and make you feel so welcome. Dr. Artin is one the nicest, humorous, professional, and the most caring ortho dentist. He took his time to exam my teeth and make adjustment when needed. He fixed my bottom front gap teeth which I am so happy with the outcome. Nothing is impossible for him. All the staff are friendly and they get the work done. Love that they blast good music during my treatments. My teeth are near perfect because of this team! I am loving my teeth and smile!!!!They have 3 locations- Pasadena, Glendale and Encino. Pasadena is the ortho office I go to since it's the closest to me. Owned by husband and wife. AMAZING staff and ortho dentist!! Highly recommend!read more

Kevin T.

Muy bien. Los recomiendo. Termine mi tratamiento dental con éxito. Tuvieron mucha paciencia conmigo

Mayra R.

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Meserkhani and his staff. I’m 41, and after several decades of not wearing my retainers after braces, my teeth had shifted and I was unhappy with the... appearance of my smile. I was not thrilled about the thought of wearing aligners, but ultimately took the plunge because I wanted to fix the problem. To my surprise, my treatment was really short (less than 6 months) and much easier than I’d imagined. You get used to the aligners. When it came to follow-up visits, I found this office to be very well-run; my appointments were on time and they got me in and out. They were also really accommodating of my busy schedule, which was really helpful. Cannot recommend the doctor and his practice enough, and for anyone in a similar situation to mine, I’d encourage you to reach out for a consult. I’m thrilled with the result; my only regret is not doing this sooner.read more

I just completed my orthodontic treatment with Dr. Artin, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! My teeth look amazing, and I’m very impressed with the transformation. Dr. Artin’s... skill is truly exceptional—he is meticulous, knowledgeable, and ensured that every step of the process was done to perfection.On top of his expertise, Dr. Artin has such a warm and personable demeanor. He made every visit pleasant and took the time to explain everything in a way that made me feel comfortable and confident. His team is also fantastic, always friendly and professional. I highly recommend this office for anyone looking for top-notch orthodontic care. Thank you, Dr. Artin, for my beautiful new smile!(photo of super cute goodie bag I received after completing treatment… awww!)read more

Taylor S.

The best ortho! The staff and doctors are awesome!

Trix M.

This guy honestly saved my teeth. The first two orthodontists I went to said the only way to fix the gaps in my teeth would be veneers and I really didn't want to do that since that... involves shaving down your teeth to unhealthy amounts but Dr. Artin was able to provide a much healthier/better alternative with braces. Also out of the three orthodontist I went so far, none of them had the same technology and professionalism I saw here. The staff were really nice and they had better technology than the other places I went to with very reasonable overall treatment costs.read more
