Is your child needing orthodontic treatment? Our dentist can use Invisalign clear aligners in San Diego, California, as a wonderful option to help straighten the smiles of patients of all ages. Believe it or not, the Invisalign system is not just for adults. Children can also benefit from this discreet method of orthodontic correction.With this option, Dr. Soudabeh Sharafi will provide your child with custom-made, computer generated plastic aligners which will gradually straighten their smile. This is instead of the metal brackets and wires of traditional braces that can feel bulky and obstructive to some.
One of the major benefits to this treatment is that the aligners are removable. This means that regular oral hygiene habits can be easily maintained. Simply remove them before brushing and flossing. They can also be taken out before eating, so there is no need to worry about getting gum stuck in a bracket or any broken wires.
During your childs initial visit to our dentist, we can determine if they are a good candidate for Invisalign treatment. It can be used to treat many of the same orthodontic conditions that brace treat. These conditions include:

When we moved to CA we thought we would never find someone as amazing as our pediatric dentist back home but then we saw Dr. Sharafi. The office staff is friendly, the atmosphere is amazing and all questions and concerns are always taken care of by the doctor. You feel like family when you walk in. My kids love going to see Dr. Sharafi and are always all smiles. Highly recommend!

If I could give this Dr. ZERO stars, I absolutely would. My son needed an emergency appointment, she made the appt for 48 hours later (which was fine) - however when we got there she said "I have to get authorization from your insurance to do x-rays or an exam", even though that is not even allowed in CA for dental insurance and he was in awful pain. Without even having an x-ray she wanted to make us wait 3 weeks for an anesthesiologist, then all of a sudden had one available the following Monday and required a $500 deposit. Which of course I paid, as I need to help my toddler. I called my insurance later that day to ensure everything was covered and I get a call the following day from her telling me my insurance wasn't effective, wouldn't be covered, and I would need to pay everything out of pocket. She said she would refund me the depot the following Monday since I had told her I would find another dentist who did understand my insurance and is now refusing to refund the full $500. Any dentist quick to put a toddler under without an exam, x-rays should not have a license. That is scary! Beware of this office.

I cannot say enough about Dr. Sharafi. I brought my son for his first dental visit and she was so kind and gentle with him. She answered so many of my questions and was very professional and personable. My son didn't want to leave. I highly recommend this office and will refer everyone I know!

My 8 year old niece recently had a horrible (border line traumatizing) experience with Dr. Soudabeh Sharafi. She was rude to her front desk staff right in front of us and that should have been our first red flag, but that was the just the beginning. Dr. Sharafi did not softly walk my niece through the exam and instead rushed through the exam and treated her like an adult. She was not patient with our nervous 8 year old, she was stern and impatient, uncaring, and even yelled at her to stay still. Our experience is the worst one we have ever had with a dentist or medical professional for that matter. We will never return to the office and will warn friends and family to stay away.

Great experience! My 6 y.o. daughter got MyoBraces here and it works perfectly, I saw the result already in a month! She also had a lot of cavities which has been treated fast and pain-free using laughing gas and laser treatment. The most important is that my daughter is never afraid to come back!

Shakira is always so sweet to my kiddos and Dr. Sharafi is kind and efficient. My kids aren't afraid walking in or out of the door and that's a big deal. If they were, I wouldn't walk through the door either.
