PATIENT REVIEWS

Check out what some of our happy patients are saying about us:

★★★★★

My siblings and I have been going to Dr. Fell since we were all in elementary school (probably almost 15 years ago). I have had everything from spacers, to neck gear, to retainers and braces. We all get complimented on our teeth constantly. Dr. Fell does a thorough job and takes pride in her work and the results that she gets.  With consistent check ups my teeth remained straight all through high school because each visit when they asked if I had been wearing my retainer I wanted to say yes.  The appointments are efficient and they do not have you waiting in the waiting room for mroe then a few minutes.  I am always surprised how quickly but effectively everyone works. My whole family trusts Dr. Fell to make suggestions that are honest and will lead to the best results.  With orthadontists and suffering through wearing braces and retainers, you want to be getting the best results and not be wasting your time since having braces is not a great experience. So I highly recommend coming here and leaving happy with the service and the results of the service that you will receive.

★★★★★

The staff is amazing! My two daughters are in their hands since 3rd grade and they always loved going to the orthodontist! They are all listening to the children and make the experience very relaxing. My daughters’ teeth improved very well. The office always follow up on their next appointments and treatment. They adapted very well with the new Covid 19 regulations. Everything is disinfected after each clients and the number of people is limited.

★★★★★

I’m an adult who received Invisalign through Dr. Fell and her daughter, Dr. B. I was very weary of the price tag at first, but went with this office as it was recommended by my dentist. Dr. Fell is a clear communicator, and very precise with her work. She and Dr. B were friendly, and extremely patient with all of my questions over the year of treatment. They also seem quite passionate about what they do. Sometimes it felt a bit odd to be the only adult patient in a sea of 12 year-olds, but I never had a negative visit.

★★★★★

I am an avid Yelp reader, but I have never posted a review before.  After reading a couple of the recent negative reviews, I felt the need to post immediately, as I completely disagree with the negative comments and have had an entirely opposite experience.  I went to Dr. Fell and Dr. Borenstein when I realized my teeth had shifted as an adult (thanks to not wearing my teenage-years retainers).  They were kind, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.  They both personally sat down with me and patiently and thoroughly went over all of my options and costs.  I opted for Invisilign, and Dr. Fell and Dr. Borenstein even went out of their way to discuss and research if they could fix my gaps/crowded teeth with fewer Invisilign retainers in order to save me money (which in the end, they did!).  Every time I go to the office, I am personally greeted by both doctors and their very friendly staff.  The office always runs on time (I’ve never waited more than 3 minutes past an appointment time), and they always send email reminders.  While Dr. Fell and Dr. Borenstein both spoke to me about the importance of wearing my retainers in order to achieve my desired results, I have never felt lectured to or belittled, and in fact, they are both very realistic and understanding and suggested that I could take the retainers out for special occasions and dates, etc.  I actually look forward to my appointments with Dr. Fell and Dr. Borenstein, as they not only are great doctors, but they are friendly and kind women, who alway take time to ask how I am and chat and make sure I am happy with the results of my teeth.  I am now on my last set of retainers in the Invisilign series, and while I am thrilled with the results/my newly straight teeth, I will be sad to end my treatment with Dr. Fell and Dr. Borenstein.  It has been such a pleasure being their patient, and I’d highly recommend them (and have to all my friends!) as 2 of the best orthodontists in Los Angeles.

★★★★★

Dr. Fell and Dr Bornstein are the best Orthodontic team hands down!! I can tell you first hand as a patient, an employee and now parent of a patient. I have known Dr Fell and some of her staff for more than 20 years. I have always been amazed at the passion Dr. Fell has for her profession. One of my favorite things about working with Dr Fell was watching how excited she would get of transforming even the most challenging case into a beautiful smile. It was obvious that she loves what she does! As a patient with a difficult orthodontic problem, I was so blessed to have crossed paths with Dr. Fell and that she helped transform my smile and gain my confidence. Years later, when it was time for my daughter to visit the Orthodontist, there was no hesitation, we went straight to Dr. Fell’s office. I was so excited to see that her daughter, who has always been brilliant, had become an Orthodontist and joined Dr. Fell’s practice. I see the same passion in Dr. Bornstein that i recognized in Dr. Fell so many years ago. Both Dr. Fell and Dr. Bornstein have treated my daughter and her smile now looks beautiful!! It was a double blessing that their office is so welcoming and that I would periodically get to see friends that I worked many years ago. Culver City Orthodontic is the absolute best hands down and I would encourage anyone that is contemplating Orthodontic treatment to give them a call. You will not regret it.

Culver City Orthodontics is a fantastic practice and I can’t say enough great things about them. We were referred to Drs. Fell & Borenstein by our kids’ dentist as our daughter needed some early intervention orthodontics. The office is incredibly well-run and efficient and they really work hard to accommodate your schedule for appointments, follow-ups, missed dates, etc. They are also flexible in terms of payment and provide various options and plans to suit your needs. They use state-of-the-art equipment and everyone from Larissa and Joseph at the front desk to the Dental Assistants to the Drs (an amazing Mother/Daughter team btw) treat you with the utmost professionalism, respect, competence, and kindness. The whole team has made what could have been a painful and less than enjoyable experience for my daughter into one where she is eager to return and excited to continue on with her journey through orthodontia. Most importantly, the results on her teeth and smile – even at this early stage – have been excellent and the Doctors advice to slow down or accelerate the process has been honest and always in the best interest of my daughter. And I was so impressed by Culver City Orthodontics that I became a patient myself when I needed to have my own nightguard retainers replaced after many years of wear and tear. Once again, the experience was nothing short of superior. If you’re looking for a top provider of Orthodontics for your child or yourself, stop your searching and call Culver City Orthodontics.

★★★★★

Everyone who works in this office is very kind and professional. My 13 year old son has always been extremely nervous and terrified of having any medical procedures done, even having x-rays taken. Because of the enormous patience, gentleness, and empathy that the doctors and technicians exhibit, we have been able to accomplish a great deal with my son’s orthodontic challenges. Wonderful, clean and welcoming office. Thank you for helping us get through this!

★★★★★

We are so pleased with how much Dr. Fell takes her time in examining, explaining during treatment. We feel so confident we are in good hands. The office staff from office manager, dental assistants, to front office staff…everyone is professional, warm, and helpful. Office, while not a big space, is so organized and nice!

★★★★★

I am gushing right now because I just finished my Invisalign treatment and I couldn’t be happier! Granted it did take a bit longer than initially estimated, but that’s exactly what happens with regular braces as a teenager too (trust me I know). Plus, I truly appreciate their attention to details and their clear desire to ensure you have a perfect smile. Every single person on Dr. Borenstein and Dr. Fell’s team is so genuinely kind and compassionate. They make you feel comfortable from the moment you go in for a consultation all the way through. I can’t say enough good things about how they all made this a positive experience, even as difficult as it is to have ‘braces’ again as an adult. If you’re considering Invisalign, look no further, this is the place to go. Thank you so much to everyone there!!

★★★★★

Both my daughters have used Culver Orthodontics for braces and retainers, and now I am using them too for my adult braces! I was horrified when I discovered I needed braces to repair some bone loss, but the process has been smooth and I feel very comfortable in the office. Everyone is super helpful and delightfully pleasant, and I recommend them to all my friends. Thank you Dr. Fell and Dr. Borenstein!

★★★★★

Culver City Orthodontics is simply the best. I had braces as a teen and my bottom teeth especially had become very crooked as time went by. Dr. Borenstein walked me through the Invisalign process and nine months later, I had amazingly straight teeth again. Dealing with their office is so easy and everything about the process was smooth. I felt very taken care of. I will definitely be taking my kids there if/when they need orthodontic work in the future! Thank you Dr. Borenstein and Dr. Fell!!

★★★★★

The team was very welcoming and took extremely diligent safety precautions due to Covid, during my child’s appointment.  Upon arrival, our temperatures were taken and hand-washing was enforced. Hand sanitizers were available, and employees wore masks, doctors wore face shields as well. Aside from preparedness, the doctors are highly skilled and gave sound judgment. Overall, the practice was very kind as well as experienced. I would recommend to friends and family.

★★★★★

After years of wanting & needing braces I was referred to Culver City Ortho by my primary dentist who highly recommended Dr Fell & Dr Borenstein. Getting braces as an adult isn’t the easiest but from day one everyone on their staff went out of their way to make the experience as easy and painless as possible. The Dr’s, front desk staff and all the techs are always a joy and feel like friends who really care. Now I’m all done, my teeth look amazing and I couldn’t be happier! I truly can’t say enough about my experience w/ CC Ortho and have already recommended them to several friends… and now to you!

★★★★★

Dr Borenstein and Dr Fell have taken excellent care of my 9 year old daughter.  My daughter just got her Phase One Braces off which she had on for a year to deal with overcrowding and to correct her bite with her permanent teeth that were coming in.  This practice is beyond knowledgeable, have cutting edge technology and are at the forefront of what is current and new in Orthodonics.  In addition the practice is warm and friendly. My daughter loves going. How many people can say that about their dental visits! We don’t live close to this practice but we made the best decision going to these doctors. Well worth the drive every few weeks for excellent care.   I highly recommend Dr Borenstein and Dr Fell.

★★★★★

I had consultations with two different orthodontics offices when considering Invisalign, and ultimately chose to go with Dr. Fell and Dr. Borenstein because I felt comfortable with the office atmosphere, I liked the professionalism and straightforward attitude of the entire office, and it was very helpful to have early evening and weekend appointment slots available.  Both Drs. Fell and Borenstein (who happen to be a mother-daughter team, which is awesome!) are fantastic and clearly very experienced.  I felt confident in their approach to my treatment plan throughout the year, and that they were carefully taking into account my concerns with regards to dental health and original rationale for getting Invisalign. I also appreciated how helpful Joseph was, especially in my initial decision-making.  The office is very busy but runs efficiently, and all the staff members with whom I interacted were friendly and conscientious.

★★★★★

I cannot say one bad thing about this office.  After first going to Santa Monica Orthodontics, they had told me we had no choice but get braces (and pay them the $$ they wanted!).  I went here for a 2nd opinion and they gave me an authentic diagnosis and said I didn’t need braces.  The office itself is very busy but they are a well-oiled machine.  Super friendly and the office is always immaculate.  I would 100% recommend them to anyone.

★★★★★

Like many adults in their 30s, I had braces as a kid, wore my retainer for a few years, and then…stopped. My lower teeth started shifting…. and I needed to fix them before it got any worse. I was referred by a friend to Dr. Borenstein and Dr. Fell at Culver City Orthodontics and they were awesome. They gave me a few options, and I decided not to get traditional braces again (although the lingual braces they were offering looked like a pretty good option), and chose instead to get Invisalign. The process was seamless. At my first appointment, they took pictures, x-rays and then did a cool 3D scan of my teeth (no impressions – I HATED impressions as a kid, so I was soooo happy to find out I didn’t need an impression to get Invisalign). The fee was very reasonable for treatment (I was actually surprised). A few weeks later, I got my first aligners. I’m not going to lie – it took me about a week to get used to them, but it has been 9 months, and my teeth now look awesome. I decided to get a glued-in permanent retainer on my bottom teeth to prevent them from shifting again. Overall, the office is so great and I highly recommend them for any of your orthodontic needs. The office is very clean, the front desk is warm and welcoming, the assistants are really good at what they do, and both Dr. Borenstein and Dr. Fell are awesome. You can tell that the whole team really cares. 5 stars all around!

★★★★★

I started my orthodontics journey in November 2014. After the consultation appointment, Dr. Fell gave me a detailed description of what was needed and was honest on the length of treatment. As an 30 year old adult, she told me that the timing would take longer since my teeth were set in place for a long time. I had a severe overbite, one tooth on top of another tooth, my two front teeth were not the same length and a misaligned bite. In March 2015, I had brackets with rubber bands installed on my back molars to help shift my misaligned bite. Due to all of my issues, I was not eligible for Invisalign, so I had to go the traditional braces route. My braces were officially put on in November 2015. The office was great with appointments and appointment reminders. I was able to be seen at every appointment. The entire staff is polite and remember you, which is saying something in this day and age. Dr. Fell and Dr. Borenstein were patient and answered all my questions. It was a lengthy process, but worth every minute! My teeth are perfect and I know that I could not have received better or more detailed-oriented care. I know that I won’t have to get braces again due to the level of expertise and care I received. I highly recommend Culver City Orthodontics! My advice is to wear your rubber bands and wear your retainer at all times. If you have to spend thousands of dollars on your teeth, make sure to follow directions!

★★★★★

I love the Mom and Daughter duo! They are both lovely, caring, and very accomodating. The entire office and staff are outstanding! I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Fell, Dr. Borenstein, and all the staff there! They really care about your health, and safety. Most importantly, they really care of their patients’ happiness as well. My future kids will definitely be going to them for their orthodontic needs! THANK YOU

★★★★★

If you’re looking for a decent Orthodontist office, don’t come here.  But if exceptional is what you’re looking for, then look no further.  What you will and can expect from Doctor Fell and her team is professionalism, family friendly atmosphere, and always be greeted with smile and care.  I am especially impressed by the office forward thinking in creating a better experience for the younger patients.  Well done.  Once in my life, it’s a pleasure going in for my appointments.  You won’t be disappointed.

★★★★★

My son left for college this past fall and one comment he always gets is, “wow great smile and beautiful teeth.” Thank you Dr. Fell for changing my sons appearance so dramatically. When he was young his teeth were growing in the center pallet of his mouth. Dr. Fell explained the process and accomplished our goals. Dr. Fell’s results exceeded our expectations! The before and after molds are amazing. My son loves this office because they are always on time, explain what they were going to do, and didn’t take long. The office is immaculate, the staff is very friendly, and there is always someone there to help if your child breaks a wire, looses their retainer or runs into an issue. My son still returns annually to be checked and we both appreciate the care he has received from Dr. Fell, Dr. Borenstein and the entire staff. I have referred friends over the years and they too have been very happy. I would highly recommend Dr. Fell and Dr. Borenstein for yourself and your kids! Lynda B.

★★★★★

I know that going to the orthodontist is something that people don’t usually like to do but truthfully I look forward to all of my appointments. Everyone makes you feel welcomed and they really do their best to try and give you a great experience every time. Since COVID they’ve only stepped up their game at the office in the sense that they’ve implemented so many more procedures into ensuring that you feel safe. As someone who deals with anxiety, I feel at ease knowing that not only am I being protected but the staff is as well. They look like they want to be there and genuinely help you because of the safe environment that is being provided. There’s air purifiers throughout the office, hand sanitizer stations, hand wash station, plastic dividers separating each patient chair, and all staff have PPE. I’m really happy that I made the decision to follow through with CCO for my adult braces treatment. (Special shout-out to Leydin- she is truly amazing because she explains everything that is happening during my appointment, what to look forward to on my next appointment, makes sure I’m comfortable at all times, and answers all of my questions. Love her!)

★★★★★

Dr. Fell, Dr. Borenstein, and their staff are extremely professional, accommodating, and friendly. They will do whatever they can to accommodate their patients schedules, answer questions, and provide a clear and mutually approved path to your ideal set of teeth. The reception and supporting staff take great care to make you feel comfortable while they perform their inspections. Getting dental or orthodontist examinations are generally uncomfortable, but they minimize this at Culver City Orthodontics. The place is well kept, accessible and short walk away from restaurants and shops. My 5 star rating reflects 100% satisfaction with my experience. I would definitely recommend them to anyone seeking orthodontic work.

★★★★★

I cannot fully express how grateful and satisfied I am with Dr. Borenstein and Dr. Fell’s work. I’m so thankful they were my orthodontists. I did my research and looked around LA for an orthodontist and they were by far the absolute choice! My issue was that I had a crossbite and every orthodontist I visited wanted me to get jaw surgery meaning they would break my jaw into pieces and then pieces it back together BEFORE I even got braces. I could tell they all wanted to do less work and make their job easier rather than try and fix my crossbite but not Dr. Borenstein. I told her that I didn’t have the time for surgery due to work and she took the time to study my case and said there was a strong possibility that she could fix my crossbite with just braces and rubber bands. I trusted her enough to go on a journey that lasted 2 years and 1 month and each step of the way, she was encouraging and optimistic. When questioned and pressured by my own dentist to just get me to get surgery at whatever cost, she pushed back and said that we shouldn’t consider surgery unless there was nothing else she could do to fix my crossbite. Additionally, the staff and office workers are very friendly and helpful. There’s a real family atmosphere you can feel when walking through the door. The office energy is really cool, calm, and collective. Zen even. I would highly recommend Culver City Orthodontics. Selecting them was by far the best decision I’ve ever made with my teeth. I still cannot believe my smile; I feel like a new person. Thank you, Dr. Borenstein and Dr. Fell.

★★★★★

Culver City Orthodontics is the best run establishment I have ever encountered. From the first time I stepped into this office, it was clear to me that this place was “the one”. The receptionists, Carol and Joesph, are always friendly and professional and they always call clients by their name. Being in the customer service industry myself for 10+ years, this is very impressive since they cater to and interact with so many clients. The orthodontists, Dr. Fell and Dr. Borenstein are both amazing! They are so knowledgeable and keep up with the newest technologies in orthodontic work. When my husband and I were getting our invisaligns, many other orthodontists told us that our orthodontic work would not be completed by the day of our wedding. Fortunately, Dr. Fell and Dr. Borenstein recommended that we use a new product called the acceledent, which would speed up the process of our orthodontic work. Not only were we ready for our wedding day, but we were also able to do another round of fine tuning to make our teeth even more perfect! We are so grateful for that! Furthermore, the assistants are nothing short of incredible. They too are very skilled, so personable, and accommodating. The entire experience at this office is a pleasurable one. I have and would recommend Culver City Orthodontics to anyone and everyone as they have surpassed all of my expectations!

★★★★★

This place is 25/5 amazing. If you ever doubted getting braces at a later time in your life, line myself (22), come here!! They’ll take care of it and you’ll be leaving more than ever. Most orthodontist my friends go to have you in and out by an hour or more but here quick and correct is the only thing you’ll be having here. The staff is very polite and PROFESSIONAL!!! Dr.Fell and Dr.Borenstein and the rest of the staff are life savers! I never was confident in my smile and they really turned it around and boosted my confidence !!!! Thank you so much Culver City Orthodontics!!!!

★★★★★

Two *enormous* thumbs up for this place. After expecting to be wearing Invisalign Retainers with strange attachments stuck on my teeth for 2+ years, I fell under the wizardry of Dr. Fell’s tutelage and emerged from the frightening journey of looking like an adult Ugly Betty by… finishing in just. over. a. year. I couldn’t wait to cheese every single photo until my straight-teethed mouth hurt. Here’s the cherry on top that warrants the ‘enormous’ above. Fast forward six months. My upper bonded retainer has come loose. I call Dr. Fell’s office the first business day available and am able to get an appointment later that day. I come in with world-weary-sigh of a patient lamenting the upkeep of beauty. After finishing the new bonded retainer in less time than quoted on the phone, Dr. Fell decides to waive the cost! Brilliant! You know why? Life happens — as does bonded retainers breaking in the first half a year — as does exceptional service from Culver City Orthodontics. If you’ve ever considered fixing your teeth, look no further than Dr. Fell and her staff. They’ve shown time and time again that they’re willing to work with their patients to meet their needs. I am a happy customer.

★★★★★

Best Orthodontic office in the area…hands down. The care and attention given by the orthodontist and their office staff is top notch. I’m currently having orthodontic work done at 41 years old and I couldn’t be happier. We are just now starting the process with our 7 year old and they are beyond amazing wit her. I would highly recommend this office to anyone looking for an experienced, thorough and caring team of orthodontists.

★★★★★

This mother and daughter duo are so truly awesome! They make you feel welcomed and comfortable with everything. They were thorough in explaining the services needed and why. I felt at ease when it was time for my daughters braces. I’m so glad I chose Dr. Borenstein and Dr. Fell for her Orthodontic needs. Thank you!

★★★★★

I have been a patient of Dr. Fell’s for around a decade and despite having to get work done on your teeth being one of the less pleasant things in life, I am so happy with the care I’ve received from Dr. Fell and Dr. Borenstein. I had a lot of problems with my teeth when I first began to go to the orthodontist, my bite was really messed up and my teeth were pretty crooked. So I have had expanders and retainers to prepare for the braces. Then I had braces for around 4 years- a pretty long time but that was mostly due to me being bad about wearing my rubber bands in high school. After that i got retainers, which I am still wearing and have kept my smile looking good. Dr. Fell is so knowledgeable and has always been really good about explaining what was happening with my teeth and maintaining great communication so I always felt I could trust her with my teeth. After being a patient of theirs for so long, I’ve seen their practice grow significantly and I still feel like I am receiving their full attention when I need it, like when the wire in my retainer snapped and I had to have it fixed quickly. The office is very professional yet still feels really comfortable and all their equipment is nice and clean and up-to-date. Everyone who works there is friendly and knows what they are doing. This is a great place to go for kids as well as adults (I have been a patient there as both). It’s always pretty busy in there so you always need to make an appointment, however the waiting is usually pretty minimal. Also, if you need to make an emergency appointment, like if something breaks or comes loose, they will put a lot of effort into accommodating you so you can get the problem straightened out as soon as possible. My appointments have pretty much always gone smoothly and been run efficiently. I’ve never had too much trouble finding a spot out front with the metered street parking. They also have a convenient station where you can brush your teeth/floss before your appointment. The care and attention you receive from Dr. Fell, Dr. Borenstein, and all the other assistants/employees has made this such a smooth process. I would highly recommend coming here if you’re looking for an experienced orthodontist for yourself, or your kids, who will keep you informed and be transparent about what you are spending your money on.

★★★★★

This place has honestly been life changing for me… I’m able to walk around and confidently smile. I was nervous at first, and was even scared because I have a very strong gag reflex, and was skeptical about getting braces on. Also because I went to another orthodontist that wasn’t so good. So I was scared to go to another one… But when I came to this orthodontist, I found them to be very nice, and super careful with my teeth. I was very comfortable, and was very pleased that they took the effort to make it comfortable. I recommend this place to any person who has a strong gag reflex, and need some  teeth to be straightened, as they made my teeth look perfect!!

★★★★★

I had an ugly teeth for half of my life due to the large spaces between the bottom front teeth and  misaligned upper teeth. My previous dentists thought that nothing could be done to improve my smile without breaking couple of bridges and possibly crowns that I had in my mouth. Being already 48 years old, I gave up doing anything about my smile until I changed my dentist, who recommended seeing Dr. Fell. Couple years later, I can be in these pictures -” before and after”. I never believed that it was possible in my case just with braces and one implant that filled the empty space. I live 70 miles away from Culver City but it was all worth going there at least once a month for the last 2 years. Dr. Fell is an outstanding professional who knows what she is doing and always oversees each treatment, and also a very nice person. Her Staff is very friendly and accommodating – starting with front office clerks and ending with technicians, who always did a great job. They were always on time with appointments – I never had to wait. Now that my treatment is over, I miss coming to this office  – they sort of became my extended family. I highly recommend Culver City Orthodontics to anyone in need of orthodontic treatment! I couldn’t be happier with the outcome!

★★★★★

Picture this scenario: it’s the Friday before the first day of school and your 8th grader’s tooth falls out (it’s a fake one that was attached to his braces.) Your regular orthodontist is closed that day and has no emergency person on call. Oh yeah, and you need to catch a flight out of town that afternoon. Aaaghh!! Luckily, our dentist recommended Dr. Fell and, after I explained my sob story to the receptionist, we were told that, despite being fully booked, Dr. Fell could slot my son in between appointments. We rushed over to the office and, after a very short wait, my son was ushered in to see Dr. Fell. I had been warned by the office manager that they don’t usually do significant work on another orthodontist’s patient, just enough to make them comfortable, but I pleaded for them to consider how emotionally uncomfortable my kid would be showing up on the first day of 8th grade missing a prominent tooth right up front! Dr. Fell completely understood and she reattached the tooth. My son left with a confident smile and I made my flight! And how much did this emergency appointment cost me? Not a cent! Dr. Fell was our orthodontic angel that day and I will never forget it. I plan to send lots of business her way!!

★★★★★

YELP INSIDER TIP FROM DOREEN (AKA AZN PERSUASION): I love the mini waiting room on the inside after you’ve brushed your teeth and the teeth brushing station. And Dr. Fell always calls back her patients personally, at least it has been in my experience. She has checks her own vm when her staff is not there so she understands office and admin process is just as vital to the customer service experience along with the dental aspect of a business. ***** The offices are very nice, clean, bright, airy and it seems as though all the staff has been there awhile. Everything runs like clock work. Everyone is dressed well and is friendly. The office areas have room for xrays/photo taking, a private office/consult room with dental chair, and open dental stations. She has computer stations at each dental station for efficient record keeping. Everyone is very responsive and great to deal with.

A WORD FROM YOUR DOCTOR

Dr. Fell has been practicing in Culver City for over 20 years. Dr. Borenstein, her daughter, joined the practice in 2011 after receiving her orthodontic certificate and masters in oral biology from UCLA. Dr. Borenstein received her dental degree from Harvard School of Dental Medicine. Dr. Fell and Dr. Borenstein specialize in braces and Invisalign for children, teens and adults. Saturday and evening hours available. Dr. Fell and Dr. Borenstein are both diplomates of the American Board of Orthodontics. This distinction is only held by approximately 25% of practicing orthodontists. Dr. Vacharee B. Fell has practiced in Culver City for more than 20 years. She specializes in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics for children and adults.
