About CTOR Ortho
Non-surgical correction of jaw and bite cases that other orthodontists deemed surgical is a recurring theme, credited to Dr. Fanar Abdullah.
CTOR Ortho draws a notable number of patients transferring mid-treatment from other practices, along with cases involving impacted teeth, severe crossbites, and jaw surgery referrals that reviews say were avoided through conservative, non-surgical correction. Dr. Fanar Abdullah is repeatedly credited with detailed, individualized treatment planning and with taking on cases others considered surgical. Early phase 1 treatment for young children also comes up more here than typical, alongside a modern office with a dedicated pediatric space.

To Dr. Fanar, Dr. Alikhani, Dr. Emily, Shirley and anyone else who worked on my mouth, Thank you for your tremendous work! My complex case has become a work of art. The CTOR team truly individualized my treatment plan and took care of me every step of the way. I am in awe of my new smile and it would not be possible without the team's dedication and hard work!

CTOR Orthodontics exceeded my expectations in every way. From my very first visit, Dr. Alikhani took the time to thoroughly understand my case and develop a treatment plan that made me feel completely confident in my care. I’m also incredibly grateful to Dr. Fai, Dr. Vivian, Dr. Dayoon, Dr. Vinny and Dr. Shamelly for their expertise, attention to detail, and compassionate approach throughout my treatment. Every member of the team, especially the patient coordinators, was exceptionally welcoming, kind, professional, making each visit seamless and enjoyable, John was very kind and helpful throughout. I’m truly grateful for the outstanding care I received. I highly recommend CTOR Orthodontics to anyone seeking exceptional orthodontic care.
