About California Braces
Two-year braces journeys and careful retainer follow-up under Dr. Shant Oroojian, with attention paid to keeping braces from poking gums along the way.
California Braces sees patients through extended treatment timelines, with several reviews noting two-year braces courses and even five-year relationships with the practice that stayed positive throughout. Retainer care gets specific mention, with instructions described as clear and fittings as comfortable. Reviews also point to steps taken to keep braces from irritating gums and to put nervous patients at ease, and Dr. Shant Oroojian is noted for checking in personally and explaining each stage of treatment.

Good service and customer attendance. I had braces for 2 years with them and had no problems whatsoever. Worth it for the price and they really straightened my teeth.

I had a great experience at California Braces! The entire staff was kind, welcoming, and professional from the moment I walked in. They always made me feel comfortable and took the time to answer any questions I had. The office was clean, organized, and appointments were always quick and on time. My daughter is happy with her smile, and I appreciate how caring and supportive everyone has been throughout her treatment. I would definitely recommend California Braces to anyone looking for great orthodontic care!

Highly recommend Dr. Shant at California Braces. Was very nervous to get Aligners, but he was able to walk me through the process and answer any questions I had. I’m a few months in and it has been a great experience. Thank you Dr. Shant for giving me confidence in my smile!
