An orthodontist is a dental specialist who has received two to three years of additional training and experience. He or sheis able to straighten teeth, correct misaligned jaw structure, and improve the function of your smile.
If you want to improve the look and feel of your smile, then any age can be a great timeto see the orthodontist. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children first visit an orthodontist around the age of seven; however, orthodontic treatment is not exclusive to children and teens. About one in every five orthodontic patients being over the age of 21. Whether youre considering treatment for yourself or for a child, any time is a good time to visit the orthodontist.
The amount of time spent in braces will vary depending on the individual patient, because every smile responds differently to treatment. Treatment times can take anywhere between six and 30 months, but most standard treatments take about 22 months.
With braces, you should brush your teeth at least three times a day to keep your teeth, gums, and mouth healthy and clean. Brushing regularly will help remove any food that may be caught between the braces.
Yes! In fact, its even more important that patients receiving orthodontic treatment visit their dentist regularly. With braces, food may be caught in places your toothbrush cant reach. This causes bacteria to build up that can lead to cavities, gingivitis, and gum disease. Your dentist will work closely with your orthodontist to make sureyour teeth stay clean and healthy while wearing braces.
Playing an instrument or a contact sport may require some adjustment when you first get your braces, but wearing braces will not stop you from participating in any of your school activities. If you play a contact sport, it is recommended that you wear a mouthguard to protect your braces or appliance.

I wanted braces, however, because I had dental implants, I thought I would be told nothing could be done. I scheduled a consultation with Dr. Hessamfar, I was informed that my teeth could be straighten using Invisalign and was thrilled. The staff at American Braces and Smile are very professional, warm and welcoming, and know you by name when you come in for your appointments. I highly recommend the practice to anyone considering traditional braces or Invisalign. I now have a beautiful smile thanks to Dr. Hessamfar!

My daughter has been a patient since she was 8 years old and now she is 12, she previosly got retainers in phase 1 and now braces. We love Dr Hessamfer and all his staff, very friendly and accomodating. I brought my son here too for treatment. I have also referred my niece who is currently under his treatment. I recommend them without any reservation.

When I lived in VA and had my daughter get her braces done at American Smiles, they made the process easy and kept me in the loop of all my daughters needs to ensure the best results. When we moved back to NC in the middle of the treatment, American Smiles has been super flexible in scheduling her appointments knowing we have to drive 4 hrs here and back to NC to maintain the treatment until it's completed. The office is well maintained with nice staff and I would highly recommend this office.

The experience from the start was always pleasant. The front desk personnel, as well as the individuals performing the actual work on my teeth were always trying to inform me and share with me some best practices about my Invisalign. Happy with the total experience.

Years ago Dr. Hessamfar straightened my daughter's teeth as a child and she now wears a beautiful smile as an adult. I'm currently having work done on my teeth and I love coming to my orthodontist at American Smile & Braces. Dr. Hessamfar, Marissa, Ursula, Selina and all the staff are amazing. They always smile, they are very professional, and they always make me feel welcomed. I recommend everyone who needs an orthodontist to make an appointment with them. You and your teeth will be glad that you did.

This is the best orthodontics I have ever been too. The staff is amazing. I used to go here when I was younger and then had to get my braces taken off early due to the military. Came back and loving the experience. Most of the staff is the same. They remembered me which was amazing. They care alot about their patients and work with you to fulfill your needs and expectations.
