About Studio City Orthodontist
Complex bite and jaw cases that other orthodontists ruled out for Invisalign are often resolved here under Dr. Kathy Shafagh's care.
Studio City Orthodontist focuses heavily on Invisalign, with reviews describing complex cases—significant overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites—resolved with clear aligners even after other providers said the patient wasn't a candidate. Dr. Kathy Shafagh and Dr. Oscar Reyna-Blanco are frequently credited with catching bite or jaw issues prior orthodontists missed and correcting earlier mistakes. Many reviewers report treatment finishing faster than expected, sometimes in months rather than years, though a handful mention their timeline ran longer than anticipated. The office itself is often described as modern and calming, with digital scans replacing physical molds.

Dr. Reyna-Blanco is extremely empathetic, patient, accomplished and a great communicator. Jessica was also amazing and they make a great team! Everyone was so nice and patient with me as I get extremely anxious with orthodontic care and they worked with me so carefully, explaining everything and showing the steps to get my teeth taken care of. Thank you all at Studio City Orthodontics for everything!
