About Dr. Mahshid Bahadoran
This orthodontist takes on complex cases, including an underbite corrected without surgery after 15 other providers had declined.
Reviews often describe complicated situations here: severe overcrowding needing extractions, jaw surgery coordinated with Invisalign, and cases other providers had turned away. Invisalign comes up far more than braces in these accounts, and several note Dr. Bahadoran adjusting plans mid-treatment or refining results after treatment officially ended. A number of reviews also point to a multilingual team and a coordinator who helps organize the treatment process.

I was very unsure about starting orthodontic treatment, but under Dr. Bahadoran’s expert guidance, the whole process was easy and stress-free. Her pleasant and optimistic approach removes all doubts and I am very pleased with the results.

I had a very severe case where I needed to have double jaw surgery and an intense round of Invisalign correction that had done unfixed for a very long time. Dr. Bahadoran has done what I thought to be impossible for me, which was align my jaw and make my smile beautiful. I have received many compliments and my treatment is still not completed yet. The best is yet to come and cannot thank Dr. Bahadoran enough for helping me get to this point.

I recently completed my Invisalign treatment with Dr. Bahadoran and I’m so happy with my results! As someone who has worked closely with Dr. Bahadoran over the past several years—coordinating treatment, and planning the financial side of her orthodontic cases across multiple locations, I’ve had a front row seat to the level of detail and precision she brings to every case. Going through treatment myself gave me an even greater appreciation for the process. My case took patience and a few refinements along the way, but the end result was absolutely worth it. Seeing my smile transform has been an amazing experience, and it’s something I now proudly share with patients who may feel discouraged during their own orthodontic journey. It’s one thing to help guide patients through treatment every day, but it’s another to experience it yourself. I’m grateful to Dr. Bahadoran for helping me achieve a smile I truly feel confident about.
