About Alpan Orthodontics

Multiple Los Angeles locations and an emphasis on early phase-one treatment mark Dr. David Alpan's practice, which also tracks retainer care for years after braces come off.

Reviews describe a practice with several Los Angeles offices and Saturday hours that make scheduling around school and work easier, and phase-one treatment for young children comes up far more often here than at a typical office. Dr. David Alpan is noted for personally checking retainer fit and working through treatment plans in detail, and reviewers mention his skill with young patients specifically. Retainer follow-up, including Vivera retainers, continues for some patients years after braces or Invisalign finish.

Great visit. Just received my first set of retainers. Everyone explained everything thoroughly and also asked if I had questions. I had assistance with making my follow up appointment and everyone was so cordial. What a well run location.

I had a great experience at Alpan Orthodontics yesterday. I have been a patient at the 3rd Street location since 2015. I return each year for a retainer checkup. It always goes very smoothly. Everyone is so nice at the office. Jessica and Sistena are at the desk to welcome you and take care of your needs. They are friendly and kind. Eddie reviewed my history with me and took my retainers for a machine cleaning. Adrian followed up with a manual cleaning as well. It was a very thorough job. They look and fit great. Dr. Brittany Link provided excellent service and care. She checked my mouth. She checked my retainer thoroughly for cracks and wear and tear. My "Invisalign Vivera" retainer is over 2 years old, and holding up very well. These retainers are sturdier than my previous standard retainers. I highly recommend Alpan Orthontics for all of your ortho needs. You will have a wonderful experience.

I started ortho work at this location back in 2010, I think I was 10 or 11. I actually had to get braces TWICE from this location because I didn't wear my retainers as a kid. I learned my lesson and I finished up my braces years ago. I purchased multiple pairs of Vivera retainers after my initial procedures. I pushed the lifespan of the retainers for 8 years and they got old and loose. I visited again after 8 years this month (May) to get new retainers. Since I've been a patient for more than half my life, I decided to leave this review. My experience at the 3rd Street location has been consistently great. I don't recall ever being nervous there even when I was starting as a kid. The ladies at the front desk were just as friendly as I remembered. They were transparent about the cost of the retainers and efficient with scheduling the appointments. The office was still clean and organized how I remembered it. Roger was was the technician that helped me out for these two visits (I don't know his exact title). He was friendly from the get-go and helped me with advice on maintaining my Vivera retainers. Dr. Alpan just checked out the retainer fits this time around, but still as friendly and professional as I remembered. My experience here was specifically for braces and retainers. I would highly recommended Alpan Orthodontics, and this location, if you need to get similar work done!
