About Us
Dr. Atoosa Nikaeen understands the importance of a beautiful smile, and is dedicated to helping provide each patient with beautiful, healthy, and straight teeth, whether they are a child, adolescent, or an adult. An even, healthy smile is not only important in boosting the self-confidence of patients, but is also fundamental to good oral hygiene and also effects how patients are perceived by others.
Dr. Nikaeen is consistently working to ensure that she and her office are up to date on the latest orthodontic advances. Our office is proud to be able to offer the most advanced treatments in order to attain the best results with the least amount of patient discomfort. Among others, we offer:

Dr. Nikaeen strives to provide the maximum comfort for each patient, and the patient’s appearance during treatment is often a large concern. Traditional metal braces are very visible and can cause acute embarrassment, especially for sensitive teenagers and even adults who believe they are too old to be a “metal mouth.” That is why invisible braces such as Invisalign and clear ceramic braces have become so popular among Dr. Nikaeen’s patients. These treatment options can provide smile correcting results that are just as, or sometimes even more, effective than traditional metal braces.
Invisalign works as a series of removable, clear plastic aligners that are custom-made for each patient. Over time, these aligners will gradually shift the teeth into their proper, straight position. The advantages of Invisalign over traditional braces are numerous. First, the aligners are clear and virtually undetectable, which removes any embarrassment over orthodontic treatment. Next, the aligners are removable and allow the patient to eat and drink as they please. Moreover, Invisalign utilizes computer imaging technology to allow the orthodontist to visualize what the final results will be from the first day.
Dr. Nikaeen is a leading provider of these alternative treatments in Los Angeles. Not only is Dr. Nikaeen Invisalign certified, a requirement for Invisalign providers, but our office is even recognized by the Invisalign brand as an “Elite Provider,” a distinction only awarded to orthodontists who have achieved an even more significant amount of experience with Invisalign treatments than Preferred or even Premier Preferred Providers. Dr. Nikaeen is one of the few Los Angeles orthodontists to have earned this distinction. She also has extensive experience with clear braces and can help each patient determine what the best solution is for them, as each case is unique.
Our office staff is dedicated to providing the best possible experience and care for every patient. We know your time is valuable, so we do all we can to ensure a minimum wait time, and strive to make each visit most enjoyable.
