Our offices

Downtown, and by the beach.

The best part of DTLA, where there is ample parking, a coffeeshop and plenty of palm trees. Or visit us at the beach.

What she looks after

More than straight teeth

The smile is the visible part. Underneath it are the bite and supporting gum and bone, the jaw and joint, and the tension you wake up with — and they get looked at here too, properly.

Feeling what we’re saying? One visit looks at all four.

The offices

Two offices: skyline or shoreline

The Santa Monica office holds the imaging equipment, including the panoramic X-ray, so that is where X-rays are taken. Patients seen Downtown can be seen in Santa Monica for complimentary imaging.

Dr. Khan and her entire team are amazing. From the moment you walk in, Aleem and Shannon make you feel right at home. They made the whole process from consultation to finished product super easy. I LOVE my new and improved smile. If you’re looking for a family friendly orthodontist, Dr. Khan is the best you’ll find in LA. Trust me!!!

Loved every minute and that is hard to say about orthodontics.

★★★★★

Both of our kids were treated at Los Angeles Orthodontics with Dr. Rehana Khan, and it honestly never felt like a typical doctor’s office. Every visit felt easy and relaxed, more like catching up with friends than an appointment.

As you can see from other reviews, Dr. Khan and her team are not only incredibly skilled, but genuinely kind and welcoming. You can feel how much they care. We’re so grateful for the experience and the beautiful results.

Dr. Rehana Khan, DDS, MS
Your orthodontist

Rehana Khan, DDS, MS

My job is to evaluate you and explain all of your treatment options. It’s important that we find the option that works for you.

Master's in orthodontics from Loma Linda University, where she is currently clinical faculty in the department of orthodontics. She opened this practice in 2009 after working in Harbor City for four years with Dr. Richard Simms — 17 years of children, teens, and adults, one treatment plan at a time.

Dr. Khan is the only doctor in the practice, and she treats every patient herself.

The easiest way to know if she's your kind of doctor: come meet her.
