About Culver City Orthodontics - Dr. Fell & Dr. Borenstein
Complex bites and jaw misalignments are often corrected with Invisalign alone, avoiding surgery, under Dr. Krisena Borenstein and Dr. Vacharee Fell.
Culver City Orthodontics sees a notably broad mix of patients, with a large share of adults and early phase-one cases alongside the usual teen caseload. Reviews mention resolving stubborn bite and jaw problems through clear aligners rather than surgery, and several describe treatment finishing on or ahead of the original timeline. Families with more than one child in treatment show up often, and some travel in from well outside Culver City to stay with Dr. Borenstein or Dr. Fell. The office is also noted for being organized and current with technology, with same-day emergency fixes mentioned more than once.

We have been coming to Dr. B's office for years, and I truly cannot say enough good things about our experience. My son initially completed Invisalign here and is now back for a second round with braces, and my daughter is also in braces, so we're at the office often. Dr. B and the entire orthodontic team are exceptional. They use state-of-the-art technology, take the time to explain everything, and consistently provide outstanding care. Anytime we've had an issue, whether it was a broken bracket or another concern, they've always gotten us in quickly and taken care of it right away. The staff is equally wonderful. Everyone is kind, welcoming, organized, and genuinely cares about their patients. After all these years, I honestly have zero complaints. We feel very fortunate to have found such a skilled and caring orthodontic practice, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for an orthodontist.
So grateful to Dr. Hernandez and her incredible staff for fitting us in at a moment's notice to repair my son's retainer. Our regular orthodontist was out of town, and with my son leaving for college tomorrow so we were in a bind!Their kindness, professionalism, and willingness to help made all the difference. From what we experienced, this is a wonderful practice, and we're so thankful for their exceptional care!
I can’t recommend Culver City Orthodontics enough! Everyone is so friendly, welcoming, and genuinely cares about their patients. At every appointment, they take the time to make sure everything is progressing as planned, explain what’s happening, and ensure I’m comfortable with my treatment. If I ever have a concern or need them to check something between appointments, they always make the time to fit me in and make sure everything is okay. Their level of care, attention to detail, and commitment to their patients is truly exceptional. I’m so happy I chose them for my orthodontic treatment and can’t wait to see my final results.
Incredible staff starting with the front desk. Both my children have felt very comfortable at this practice since their first consultation. Every technician throughout their journey with braces have been so gentle, kind and courteous. Dr. Fell is incredibly knowledgeable, present and attentive. Her energy is always so positive and encouraging. My kids love her!
With age my top front teeth are shifting with a tooth sticking out. I went to Culver City Orthodontics for consultation, Dr. Fell explained to me what Invisalign involves and the whole process. In less than a year my protruded tooth no longer stuck out just in time for me to attend my son’s wedding. Thank you Dr. Fell and Dr. Borenstein. You run a very professional practice, all your staff are courteous, friendly and know exactly what they are doing. Your office is beautiful and clean, you have all the state of the art equipment and with seamless scheduling, I never had to wait. No wonder my implant dentist who also had his own teeth straightened at Culver City Orthodontic said he thinks Dr. Fell and Dr. Borenstein are the best Orthodontists in town. I totally agree.
