A healthy set of teeth and gums is the secret to a beautiful and long-lasting smile. If patients are self-conscious that their existing orthodontic condition is affecting their smile, we can help them achieve the smile they've always dreamed of with orthodontic treatment. This can significantly help improve the way they feel and look.

Your orthodontic treatment can start with a careful examination. The orthodontist would also study the patient's medical history to understand their past cases. Several orthodontic conditions can be treated with the help of orthodontic appliances which are either made of metal, ceramic, or high-grade plastic. These appliances can either be removable or intact that works by gently applying a force against teeth guiding them towards the right direction.

When it comes to wearing braces, gone are the days when patients had to go through the discomfort of wearing metallic ones. Patients can now choose between clear or metal brackets as appliances to suit their orthodontic treatment. Latest appliances consist of nearly invisible wires and brackets making them less noticeable. Advanced materials are designed to help move teeth faster, too.

The duration of a specific orthodontic treatment can significantly vary depending on individual cases, and other factors. Before beginning any orthodontic treatment, the orthodontist would clearly explain all the available options, estimate the duration of treatment, and post-treatment care.

Everyone in this office is so friendly and accommodating. We recently relocated and several other orthos refused to continue my son's treatment. Signature Orthodontics enthusiastically welcomed us and treated my son. I highly recommend this office!!!

Dr. Mozafari and her staff are the best. Other orthodontists'd told me I needed a jaw surgery, and only after that, ortho treatment would give me an ideal result. However, she could fix the asymmetry of my upper jaw with orthodontic treatment! Since I am an adult, my treatment took a little more than two years, but I am beyond happy with my smile now. I highly recommend Dr. Mozafari if you need an orthodontic treatment, regardless of your age. Thank you Dr. Mozafari for my smile :)

If you are looking for a place to start orthodontic treatment, I would highly recommend coming here to see Dr. Mozafari. She explains all the steps in detail prior to starting the treatment process. She is really kind and caring to children. My daughter had a really bad overbite and was very self- conscious about it, looking back at how her smile was before and now there is tremendous improvement. The staff here always accommodates you just in case emergency visits or questions and concerns you have. The staff here are quite prompt on answering you right away. She has two office locations in Cupertino and Los Altos which is really convenient. Thanks Dr.M and staff for all you guys do !!

I am 33 and had consultations with several orthodontists about getting braces done on my teeth. All of them would suggest that I get four teeth removed to straighten my crooked teeth, except Dr. Mozafari. At our first consultation, she took time to look at my face and teeth to come up with an optimal and personalized solution for me. She noticed that though my teeth were crooked and they were further back in my smile. If the typical orthodontic treatment of four teeth removal were to be done on me, my teeth will move further back, which may cause me to have a "smaller" smile. So Dr. Mozafari suggested that we start the braces work without teeth removal to begin with. She wants to adjust the teeth and straighten them little by little to see if we could make space for all them to give me a fuller smile. I have had braces with Dr. Mozafari for about four months now and my teeth are moving very cooperatively! They are making spaces for each other and straightening out nicely. I could see that the progress is moving me toward that the fuller smile that Dr. Mozafari envisions, and I am totally loving it! I am so glad that Dr. Mozafari cares and had taken the extra mile to share her expertise and experience with me. Without her foresight of thinking that a fuller smile could work for my face, I wouldn't have known! Dr. Mozafari cares about giving me the optimal orthodontic treatment even if it is going to take more work and time to get the result she envisions. I'm really thankful that I have found Dr. Mozafari, an orthodontist who is a true artist. She and her team have been very detailed with every single adjustments and that passionate work is reflected in the progress of my teeth movements! Thank you Dr. Mozafari and your wonderful staff!

This is a great office. I'm 35 and this is my first time having braces. I am going to have jaw surgery in about a year and I am very happy that Dr. Mozafari is part of this process. She has been super great, kind, and caring in every aspect. Anytime I have questions I know that I'm always going to get a genuine answer. Her staff from the front office to the Assistants are very friendly and professional (in both offices). The office is always clean. They have very nice, upgraded equipment. I would definitely recommend this office to any one in search of an Orthodontist.

Always a welcoming experience when coming to the office. Even though my son doesn't always like the "tightening of the wires", the entire office do their best to make the visit as comfortable as possible.

My son has first saw Dr. Mozafari in May 2017. We were not planning on seeing her until this year; however, a lot changed from his 2017 consultation and his dental cleaning in October 2017. Our dentist recommended that we make an appointment as soon as we could. It turned out that my son ended up needing braces (First Phase). We go to the Los Altos office; and it really doesn't matter whether you're entering the Los Altos office or the Cupertino office, because you're always welcomed by a very professional, pleasant and smiling face. Kelly handles many facets of the practice and she is friendly and personable. The kindness and professionalism continue from the front desk into the treatment area, where Dr. Mozafari and her team continue to make the children feel welcome and comfortable. It's clean and they encourage the children to brush their teeth before their appointment. There is an incentive plan for the children too. In the short amount of time that we've been going to Signature Orthodontics, my son looks forward to receiving points for being on time or brushing his teeth.
