Meet Dr. Katie King

Welcome to my page! My name is Katie King and our patients call me Dr. King. Good thing since we already have a Dr. Katie (Bales). I am happy to be a part of the Bales Orthodontics team creating beautiful, healthy smiles!

I am a Bay Area native and grew up in Silicon Valley. I spent eleven years at the University of Southern California completing a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience, Doctorate of Dental Surgery, and Orthodontic residency, in which I earned a Master of Science in Craniofacial Biology. Upon graduating, I received the Harry L. Dougherty award for clinical excellence, which is an award given to the resident who demonstrates the highest achievement in clinical orthodontics. I was also awarded for my research on digitally-facilitated orthodontics, which was published on the cover of the American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics. I have a particularly strong interest in Invisalign mechanotherapy, early orthodontic intervention, and sleep medicine.

I am a board certified orthodontist as well as a member of the American Association of Orthodontics, Pacific Coast Society of Orthodontists, and a diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics. I am actively involved in leadership roles within the California Association of Orthodontists and the Pacific Coast Society of Orthodontists.

I live in Marin with my husband Ryan, who I met on the soccer field. In my free time you will find me hiking California’s highest peaks, training for marathons, playing soccer and skiing. Fun fact: I have an identical twin sister!
