At our female-led orthodontic practice, we focus on providing a high-end, personalized experience from your first visit to your final smile. Our mission is to create beautiful, confident results while making treatment efficient, comfortable, and enjoyable. We believe outstanding orthodontic care means seeing the same orthodontist at every appointment, with hands-on involvement throughout your entire treatment.

Our close-knit team takes the time to listen, build genuine relationships, and welcome every patient like family.
Dr. Erin Walker is proud to call Thousand Oaks and Westlake Village home, and her roots here run deep, from volunteering at the Westminster Free Clinic as a teen to building her practice in the community she loves. She holds degrees in Neuroscience and Human Biology from USC, earned her dental degree from the University of Michigan with an Omicron Kappa Upsilon honor society induction, and completed her orthodontic specialty training and Master of Science in Dentistry at the University of the Pacific. Dr. Walker brings extensive expertise in airway-friendly orthodontics, and clear aligner therapy, including a master's thesis devoted to Invisalign treatment for young children.


Airway-friendly orthodontics is a holistic approach to treatment that goes beyond straightening teeth. Rather than focusing on alignment alone, an airway-focused orthodontist evaluates how the jaws, palate, and bite interact with breathing, sleep, and overall health. A narrow palate, misaligned jaws, or poor oral posture can restrict airway space and contribute to mouth breathing, snoring, disrupted sleep, and even behavioral or developmental challenges in children. By addressing these underlying structural issues as part of treatment, airway orthodontics works to open and optimize the airway, support nasal breathing, and promote healthy facial development from an early age.
The benefits are well-supported by research. Multiple systematic reviews confirm that airway-focused orthodontics produces measurable improvements in sleep-disordered breathing and obstructive sleep apnea in both children and adults, and the American Association of Orthodontists recognizes that airway health plays a vital role in orthodontic treatment planning. Studies using cone-beam CT imaging show that palatal expansion and jaw alignment treatments can meaningfully increase airway volume and improve airflow, with benefits observed in growing patients and adults alike.
At Walker Orthodontics, exceptional care isn't a promise we make lightly. Dr. Walker is personally involved in every step of your treatment, from your very first consultation to the day your braces come off or your last aligner goes in. As a single-doctor boutique practice, we use only premium materials and the most advanced technology available, because we believe every patient deserves results that are as precise as they are beautiful. When you come in for an appointment, you'll always see Dr. Walker, not a rotating associate, and that continuity makes all the difference for our Thousand Oaks patients.
