Pediatric Orthodontics in Simi Valley

Meet Your Simi Valley Orthodontist, Dr. Ronnel Azizollahi

Dr. Ronnel “Ronnie” Azizollahi, DDS, is an SCO Board Certified Orthodontist and a double graduate of UC San Francisco, where she completed both her dental school training and her orthodontic residency. She provides personalized orthodontic treatment for children and teens in a comfortable, kid-focused environment.

Her Treatment Philosophy

Dr. Ronnie believes orthodontic care should be built around the individual child, not a one-size-fits-all timeline. She takes a warm, supportive approach, explains every step in language kids and parents actually understand, and builds treatment plans tailored to each patient — from braces to clear aligners. Her goal is for every child to feel confident and encouraged throughout their treatment, not just at the end of it.

Dr. Ronnie personally evaluates every orthodontic patient, plans each course of treatment, and supervises that treatment from the first visit through the final retainer check.

Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics Under One Roof

At Kids Dental Pals & Orthodontics, your child’s pediatric dentist and orthodontist work in the same practice, sharing the same records and the same treatment plan. Most families have to coordinate this themselves across two offices — chasing X-rays, repeating histories, and hoping the timing lines up. Here, that coordination simply happens.

Because our dental and orthodontic teams work side by side, we can manage:

• Dental cleanings during braces — kept on schedule, with hygienists experienced in cleaning around brackets and wires.
• Cavity treatment before orthodontic treatment — decay is treated first, so braces or aligners start on a healthy foundation.
• Extractions when necessary — performed in-house and timed to the orthodontic plan, with no outside referral.
• Space maintenance — holding room for permanent teeth when a baby tooth is lost early, which can reduce the work needed later.
• Monitoring permanent teeth as they erupt — the same team watches your child’s development visit after visit.
• Timing of Phase I and comprehensive treatment — we start when your child is ready, not when a calendar says so.
• Oral-hygiene support during braces — hands-on coaching for the brushing and flossing habits that protect teeth while brackets are on.
• Orthodontic emergencies — a poking wire or loose bracket is handled by a team that already knows your child.
• Direct communication between the dentists and the orthodontist — no faxed records, no lost referrals, no conflicting advice.

One practice, one set of records, one team following your child from their first cleaning through their last day in braces.
