WHAT SETS US APART
WHAT SETS US
APART
Our boutique, single-doctor practice strives to provide the best possible outcomes and experience by using the latest technology, specialized doctor expertise, and dedicated team for the best in office experience.
doctor led patient care
We believe to achieve the best possible care and treatment outcome, your Orthodontist has to be involved in every appointment. While other offices might have multiple Doctors, a large staff or be owned by a large corporation, this can sometimes get in the way of the best possible care. We’re passionate about having a personal relationship, listening to our patients, and treating every patient like they are family, everytime they walk through our door.
latest technology
Our office is a completely digital office using the best technology available in Orthodontics. We use a digital scanner to get the most accurate scans (no more goop in our office), the highest quality and most advanced braces, and offer completely custom made braces on the inside (lingual) and outside of your teeth. By offering the latest technology, we can make your treatment time more efficient (fewer appointments and weeks in treatment) with less forces, so you are more comfortable while in treatment.
Boutique style office
Our boutique-style practice concentrates on quality and patient-centered care. We believe in using the highest quality products and latest technology to deliver the best possible experience and outcome. As a single Doctor practice, Dr. Walker cares deeply about all of her patients and is involved in every step of your treatment. You’ll be seeing her at every single visit to our office!
We have a puppy!
We understand that visiting a Doctor of any kind can sometimes be stress inducing. That’s why we have Auggie here to make everything better! Auggie is a therapy dog in training and absolutely loves comforting patients of all ages.

Monitoring
At Walker Orthodontics, we understand that your time is valuable. While we focus on offering an enjoyable in-office experience, we love that we can take advantage of technology and offer remote monitoring for those visits that do not require you to be in the office. This means that your child doesn’t have to miss as much school and that you won’t have to take time out of your busy schedule to go to visit the orthodontist.
Each new patient is set up with the Grin remote monitoring system, which enables you to take a scan right from your phone. Dr. Walker will monitor your progress throughout your treatment to ensure that everything is right on track. We believe this not only creates a more convenient experience for you, but also ensures that treatment is efficient and effective.

Airway Friendly
At Walker Orthodontics, being an airway-focused orthodontist means looking beyond straight teeth to support healthy breathing and overall wellness. Our team pays close attention to how the jaw, palate, and other facial structures influence airflow, sleep quality, and long-term development. By using treatments such as palatal expansion, we help widen nasal passages, encourage proper oral function, which can promote better long-term health. This approach can be especially valuable for growing children, ensuring their airway and facial development stay on the right track.
WHAT SETS US APART FAQs
Yes. Board certification through the American Board of Orthodontics is voluntary, and only about one in three orthodontists complete it. It requires presenting finished patient cases to a panel of examiners for judgment. Dr. Walker is a board-certified orthodontist who also defended her Master's Thesis on the use of Invisalign in young children, which means the doctor directing your care has had her clinical results independently examined, not just her coursework.
At a private practice like Walker Orthodontics, one orthodontist owns the practice, sets the standard of care, and answers only to her patients. Corporate chains and private-equity-owned groups often rotate doctors between locations, so you may see a different provider at each visit and treatment decisions can be influenced by production targets. Dr. Erin Walker plans your treatment personally, sees you at every appointment, and is accountable for your result from your first scan to your final retainer.
Yes, every single visit. As a single-doctor boutique practice, there is no rotating cast of providers and no chance your treatment plan changes hands midway. Dr. Walker performs your exam, reviews your progress personally, and makes every clinical decision herself. Patients from Westlake Village, Thousand Oaks, Agoura Hills, and Oak Park choose us specifically because the doctor they meet at the consultation is the doctor they see through the end of treatment.
An airway-friendly orthodontist looks beyond straight teeth to how the jaw, palate, and facial structure affect breathing, sleep, and long-term development. Signs like mouth breathing, snoring, or restless sleep in a child can be connected to a narrow palate or airway restriction. Dr. Walker evaluates airway health as part of every exam and uses treatments such as palatal expansion to support healthy breathing while creating a beautiful smile, which is especially valuable for growing children.
Mail-order aligners move your teeth without an in-person exam, x-rays, or a doctor monitoring how your roots, gums, and bite respond. At Walker Orthodontics, every case starts with a comprehensive exam by a board-certified orthodontist, and your progress is checked continuously, in office and through Grin remote monitoring. You get the convenience that makes mail-order tempting, with the specialist supervision that protects your teeth. If something needs adjusting, Dr. Walker catches it early.
No, the opposite. Every Walker Orthodontics patient is set up with Grin remote monitoring, so Dr. Walker reviews scans you take from your phone between appointments. Combined with our fully digital office and in-house 3D printer, this means she often checks your progress more frequently than a traditional schedule of in-person visits allows, while your child misses less school and you make fewer trips to the office.
