Dr. Berger is a USC-trained, board-certified orthodontist who has built his practice on a single principle: every patient deserves to see the same doctor at every visit. No residents. No associates. No handoffs. When you come to Berger Orthodontics, you are always in the same hands.
Growing up in Palos Verdes, Dr. Berger has deep roots in Southern California. He completed his orthodontic training at the USC Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry and earned board certification from the American Board of Orthodontics - a credential achieved by fewer than 30% of practicing orthodontists nationally.
His Diamond+ Invisalign status - placing him in the top 1% of providers nationwide - reflects the volume and complexity of cases he manages each year. Dr. Berger also holds specialized training in airway orthodontics, bringing a comprehensive, whole-patient perspective to every case he treats.

What Sets Dr. Berger Apart
One Doctor Always
Dr. Berger sees you at every appointment personally - from your first scan to your final retainer. Your treatment is never delegated to a resident or assistant.
Dual Credentials
ABO board certification and Diamond+ Invisalign status represent two independent measures of excellence - clinical knowledge and real-world case volume.
Comprehensive Evaluation
Every new patient receives a thorough exam that goes beyond teeth alignment - considering bite function, jaw position, and airway considerations that affect long-term health.
Airway Orthodontics
Dr. Berger has pursued advanced training in airway orthodontics - the study of how jaw structure, bite, and breathing interact. Many orthodontic problems have implications beyond cosmetics: underdeveloped jaws, bite issues, and crowding can affect how patients breathe, sleep, and develop over time.
This broader perspective allows Dr. Berger to treat the full picture - not just how your teeth look, but how your bite functions and how your airway performs. It's a level of evaluation most general dentists and many orthodontists don't provide.
