Dr. Bita Orthodontic Group Encino

Set in the quiet side streets off Balboa, where mid-century homes meet the pace of modern life, Dr. Bita Orthodontic Group Encino reminds visitors that straight teeth aren’t just for teenagers anymore. Grown-ups and kids alike show up here when a subtle grip of metal or clear plastic seems like the best way forward. The place provides the usual tools of the trade—traditional metal braces, sleek ceramic braces, clear aligners—but it also handles interceptive work for pre-teens whose molars are already hinting at future crowding. Adults slip in after work for lingual braces they can’t see, while high-school athletes often choose plastic trays so they can keep playing without brackets snagging their smile or their opponents’ jerseys. Whatever the goal, the group seems to have a bracket—or a tray—ready to roll.

You’ll find the office tucked inside a mid-rise at 5363 Balboa Blvd # 330, Encino, CA 91316, a strip of glass and concrete wedged between a Pilates studio and a dry cleaner. Inside these four walls, clinicians reshape hips and refine bites for patients whose orthodontic puzzles range from a single rogue tooth to full-class II malocclusions. They’ll also swap out worn elastics if you’ve roughed them up on a bagel you shouldn’t have bitten in half. Short-term space maintenance keeps space-closing springs and mini-expanders from wandering loose until the next scheduled tightening, and when the final wire exits, a quick retainer fitting makes sure nothing shifts back while you’re asleep.

Call ((818) 981-0640) and someone there will walk you through what to bring to the first visit and how long the consultation usually runs. They’ll also confirm which insurance riders cover the retainer phase of treatment—one less surprise on the last bill.

People in Encino keep driving north because the scenery is nice, but some turn off Mulholland just to land at this address and sit down with the orthodontic version of a roadmap.
