About Smiles 4 Life Orthodontics
Dr. Fooladi takes on complex cases other orthodontists have turned away, including a multi-year horizontally impacted canine correction resolved without extraction.
At Smiles 4 Life Orthodontics, reviews often point to Dr. Fooladi's willingness to handle difficult cases, including impacted canines and long-running realignments that other offices declined to take on. Phase 1 (early) treatment for young children comes up more often here than typical, alongside frequent mentions of finished results like closed gaps and corrected alignment. Families also mention flexible scheduling, including Saturday appointments, and a comfortable enough atmosphere that some older kids attend adjustments on their own.

We are only a couple of months into my son's course of Orthodontic treatment, but I couldn't be more impressed. Smiles 4 Life sat down and explained the process. They helped us make sure that we received as much insurance coverage as possible, and they reassured both us and our son that this was a manageable and important process. Now, he can go on his own for adjustments. In short both the process and the communication have been excellent. Highly recommended!

Dr Fooladi provided an outstanding service to my daughter. She did that with kindness and efficiency. The treatment has been completed as expected, and we are happy with the outcomes. We highly recommend her and want to express our appreciation publicly.

Second round of braces: lost retainers, lost retainers, & broken retainers thanks to my 😸 & 🐶 . Teeth shifted & here we go again. I could've choose any orthodontist, but i went back to the same business. Nice staff & cable TV while you wait. Recommend 100%!
