Violet's story
After a serious injury, the hospital's trauma team did the surgery. What came after — the long orthodontic work of rebuilding a bite — is the part of the story that happened here, with Dr. Khan as Violet's orthodontist and a family friend.
Family & experience
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!!!

Dr. Khan and her staff are amazing! Dr. Khan is incredibly knowledgeable, gentle, and truly cares about her patients. She took great care of me throughout my treatment and always made sure I understood what was happening every step of the way.
The staff is just as wonderful. Friendly, professional, and always welcoming. Every visit was smooth and stress free because of how well the team works together.
I couldn’t be happier with my experience. Highly recommend Dr. Khan and her awesome staff!

Wow! I couldn’t have asked for better care. Dr. Khan and her team truly go above and beyond. After Dr. Lee retired, Dr. Khan took over my treatment and I’ve been so impressed with her attention to detail and professionalism. I saw great progress and felt confident every step of the way because she took the time to explain everything clearly. Now my teeth look better than I ever imagined. I’m so grateful to Los Angeles Orthodontics, don’t go anywhere else!

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.

I loved my Invisalign experience with Doctor Khan and staff. Everyone here is awesome. The front desk is welcoming, friendly, and ready to answer any questions that you may have whether you call or come in person. Doctor Khan explains everything clearly, and on top of being really nice, she is also super good at adapting. Some problems came up in my case but she always treated them. Choosing orthodontic treatment was one of the best decisions I made and I’m eternally grateful Doctor Khan made this possible. My first consult was in April 2022 and as of February 2026 I am now finished and on retainers.

My Daughter has been going to Santa Monica Orthodontics for about a year and a half. They have done a great job creating space for incoming teeth followed with braces for a great smile.
Every member of the staff from the Orthodontist, support technician, and the great front staff make the process easy as possible and my Daughter couldn’t be happier.
I highly suggest anyone considering orthodontic work to stop by and schedule an initial consultation so you can hear from them yourself

“Had another wonderful visit to my orthodontic today! Even with the long drive to the office, it’s always completely worth it. The entire team brings such positive energy and great vibes every single time, combined with top-notch professionalism. Thank you for always making the experience so smooth and pleasant!”

I’ve been a patient here for 3.5 years and Dr. Khan has made a long treatment genuinely easy. Every visit, she took the time to explain what was happening and never rushed things. She’s such a perfectionist! The whole team matched that same patience and kindness throughout. Highly recommend!

Dr Khan and team are amazing! Had an easy and smooth experience getting aligners here before my wedding and so glad I did!

Amazing staff and Doctor it’s been so amazing to find this office for both my boys. It’s a family affair. They took care of all of us. It’s been a pleasure to know them. Anyone who gets them is a lucky client.
We are so happy to find Santa Monica orthodontics and Dr. Khan !

I have been going to Santa Monica Orthodontics since I was in elementary school and when my teeth were crooked and had gigantic gaps. To say that Dr. Khan and Roger fixed my teeth would be an understatement and I am truly grateful that they were able to help me out as efficiently, kindly, and effectively as they could throughout all these years. Thank you!

Cost
I came in with a permanent retainer that had broken and needed fixing quickly. When I called, I was told they do place permanent retainers, but that the doctor would evaluate thoroughly before committing to anything, which turned out to be exactly how it went.
Dr. Khan laid out five or six options, from the most minimal fix (reattaching the broken section) to more substantial ones (a mini Invisalign plan). I got a written cost breakdown for each and was given real time to think it over, including an offer to come back another day once I’d considered them. I chose a new permanent retainer after her evaluation confirmed it would work for my case, and the work itself was excellent. She told me to come back anytime if anything felt off.
What stood out most was the consistency. The person who answered the phone, Dr. Khan, and the receptionist all told me the same thing—no contradictions, no surprises, no pressure. Pricing was clear before any payment was discussed. Given that most orthodontic work isn’t covered by insurance, that kind of transparency matters more than people realize until they’ve gone without it.
The office is also genuinely calm and welcoming, which is not nothing when someone is working in your mouth. I’d imagine it’s a good environment for kids too. It’s a real relief to have an orthodontist nearby I can trust. I had made arrangements to return to my original orthodontist in Korea for this, and after seeing Dr. Khan I cancelled those plans—I’m fully confident in the care I got here. Thank you!

Dr. Khan and her whole team are wonderful. I specifically sought our the doctor because of her extensive knowledge and care. My experience was absolutely the best of any dentist or orthodontist I’ve ever seen. I cannot recommend the office enough. Her team is supportive, responsive, and so detail oriented. They can help walk you through what your insurance will cover, keep you up to date on your appointment steps, and the doctor will always take time to answer questions.

Complex & structural
I grew up in NYC with very crooked teeth. I spent my life in and out of orthodontist offices from about 8-24 and subsequently developed a huge phobia of orthodontist offices / dentists in general. A couple years ago I moved out to LA and realized that my teeth had moved around substantially and decided to get them straightened again as I’d already spent so much of my life trying to get them in place. I showed up with a huge amount of fear and anxiety and was treated with kindness and warmth. My teeth are not the easiest things to correct and I’m sure, especially at first, I was not the easiest client to work with. I flinch and squirm and often have to fight off panic attacks when I’m in a dentist office. I am prepared to be every orthodontist least favorite client, but I never once felt that way at Los Angeles orthodontics. The staff there is so incredibly kind and patient and Dr. Khan has been so wonderful working with me. She has never made me feel judged for being so afraid of something that feels so routine. She has been enormously patient with me as I sit in her chair and she has been extremely understanding about the anxiety I have surrounding any kind of metal in my mouth. The team there has been so wonderful and in many ways has helped me overcome my fear of the orthodontist. I can’t thank everyone there enough for being so kind so professional and so patient with me 😊

As an adult I really wasn’t sure what I needed. After a thorough exam and a conversation about options we decided on a great approach. A few months later and after timely adjustments I have the changes that I saw reversed and I am super happy. Everyone here is wonderful and kind!!! Thank you SM Orthodontics!!!!
Marla S. · Google review · Santa Monica
I had major top and bottom jaw surgery over the last year, and let me tell you, I would not have gotten exemplary care anywhere else besides Dr. Kahn’s office. The staff are all very friendly and I really felt welcome whenever I had an appointment. Saying I am pleased with the results of the orthodontic work would be an understatement.
I am a 28 year old man, however I saw doctor give me the same attention as her youngest and oldest patients. Anytime I had complications with my braces/retainers, I was quickly helped and got back on track to healing.
Thank you for everything Santa Monica Orthodontics!!!
Ford W. · Google review · Santa Monica
Dr. Khan is fantastic! As an adult, my teeth started moving inward and when I smiled, you didn’t see much of my teeth. It made my face look sunken in. Dr. Khan fixed my smile with spectacular results!
During my initial consultation, Dr Khan was very straight forward, and there were no high-pressure tactics. She explained that braces would yield the best results. (She also offers Invisalign). Fortunately, Dr. Khan offers ceramic braces, which are practically clear. When my braces came off, the results were better than I imagined!! I love my new smile and even though, I had braces as a child, my smile has never looked better!!! Also, Dr. Khan is a wonderful person, a perfectionist when it comes to fine tuning and her staff is the best! Dr. Khan works with kids and adults. I highly recommend selecting Dr. Khan as your orthodontist.

Jaw & TMJ
Dr. Khan and her team at Los Angeles Orthodontics were absolutely amazing every step of the way. From the moment I walked in, they made me feel completely at ease and genuinely cared for. They treated me like family and made the entire process smooth, comfortable, and stress-free.
Dr. Khan guided me through my treatment with confidence and reassurance, and she completed my orthodontic work even faster than I imagined. The results are unbelievable. I never thought my teeth could look this perfect. On top of that, I’m no longer dealing with the tension headaches I used to have, which has been life changing.
I also just found out that Dr. Khan now offers Botox, and I will definitely be returning for that treatment as well. It’s rare to find an office that combines talent, kindness, and professionalism at this level.
If you’re looking for an orthodontist and staff that truly cares and delivers exceptional results, Los Angeles Orthodontics is the place to go!
