About Image Orthodontics - Pacific Heights

Complex, long-neglected bite problems get resolved here, often through Invisalign or clear aligners under Dr. Kalika and associates.

Image Orthodontics - Pacific Heights sees a heavy concentration of Invisalign and clear aligner cases, including switches from other aligner systems that hadn't worked elsewhere. Reviews describe the team handling difficult or long-neglected cases, correcting decades-old crooked teeth and joint pain tied to bite issues. The office is repeatedly called clean and modern, and staff are noted for speaking patients' native languages to ease communication. A doctor change is noted, with Dr. Kalika described as more focused on business operations now, while Dr. Rana and Dr. Daftary are also mentioned in patient care.

It was a good experience to replace my old retainer. Easy going with reception staff, tnanks a lot especially to Tatyana, who navigated me through all treatment. I had Sandy as my doctor and she is extremely friendly and did a great job. Now I’m calm about my orthodontic issues, cause I used to treat it in another country, and periodically I need to fix. The price affordable comparing with other clinics and no additional service which you cannot decline.

Getting braces is scary, but my first visit here afterwards was great.The office is clean, the staff smiles a lot.The front desk staff greeted me warmly, and I didn't wait more than five minutes.Dr Maricela and Anthony were absolutely magnificent on getting my braces done, and also Brenda took the time to explain everything clearly without rushing. I highly recommend!

I underwent orthodontic treatment at this clinic, and I wholeheartedly recommend choosing them , the treatment went wonderfully. Every doctor and ortho assistants was as open and sincere as possible; they explained each step of the process and had answers to all my questions. The front desk team is very friendly and kind. You definitely feel welcome from the moment you walk in. This was actually my third time getting braces overall (previously at other clinics), and out of all three experiences, this one was by far the best. I’m so glad I chose this clinic this time!
