Why Choose Alpan Orthodontics for Your Surgical Treatment?

Dr. David Alpan brings over 30 years of experience in surgical orthodontics, leveraging cutting-edge technology and a patient-first approach to deliver exceptional results. Here’s what sets our practice apart:

  • Digital Precision for Faster Results
    We exclusively use Invisalign or digital-based braces like LightForce to coordinate arches and reduce treatment time. Our average treatment is completed in 1.5 to 2 years—that’s 6 to 12 months shorter than the industry average.
  • Comprehensive 3D Planning
    Every case is pre-planned in three dimensions. This allows you and your surgeon to visualize facial, bite, and airway changes before treatment even begins, ensuring a clear understanding of the expected results.
  • Integrated Airway and TMJ Care
    We incorporate airway and TMJ considerations into every surgical case. Our goal is to address not just aesthetics but also your overall health and long-term functionality.
  • Collaborative Care with Top Surgeons
    We work closely with a network of trusted private surgeons and Kaiser oral surgeons to provide seamless, coordinated care. Whether you’re using insurance or seeking private treatment, we ensure a smooth process from start to finish.
  • Proactive Wisdom Teeth Planning
    To avoid surprises, we proactively plan for wisdom teeth removal as an integral part of your overall treatment process.
