Orthodontics in Los Angeles

Orthodontists complete a two-to-three-year residency after dental school focused entirely on moving teeth and correcting bites, a distinction that matters more as cases get harder. Traditional braces in Los Angeles run roughly $4,000, $8,000 for comprehensive treatment, ceramic and lingual options cost more, and nearly every office offers monthly payment plans. The profiles below note whether a provider is a specialist orthodontist or a general dentist offering orthodontic treatment, because reviewers themselves often don't realize the difference.

561 LA practices offer orthodontics, ranked below by rating and review volume.

Orthodontics: what LA patients ask

What's the difference between an orthodontist and a dentist who does braces?

An orthodontist is a dentist who completed an additional accredited residency (usually 2, 3 years) exclusively in orthodontics. General dentists can legally provide braces and aligners, and many do simple cases well, but complex bite correction, surgical cases and growing children are generally better served by a specialist.

Am I too old for braces?

No, roughly one in four orthodontic patients today is an adult. Teeth move at any age as long as gums and bone are healthy; adult treatment sometimes takes modestly longer and options like ceramic brackets, lingual braces or aligners keep it discreet.
