My process of aligning my teeth took a lot longer than expected-due to my own financial limitations, plus needing jaw surgery and two teeth implants. There were definitely moments where it felt overwhelming, but I never once felt rushed or pressured into making decisions. Dr. Salmassian was incredibly patient and supportive the entire time. He even helped me find full coverage for my jaw surgery, which made such a huge difference for me and lifted some weight off my shoulders. Every step of the way, he took the time to explain things clearly and made sure I felt comfortable-no question ever felt "silly" to ask and any areas of discomfort/adjustment were taken seriously! His team is just as amazing! Any day I came in, they always made me feel welcome and remembered--from complimenting my outfit to asking about how school and my teaching training were going. It never felt like I was just "another appointment", which is a feeling many are used to at other offices. I can tell they have a passion for what they do and love where they work. Even though my journey took longer than expected, they stayed patient, kind, and encouraging the whole way through. And now, I finally feel confident in my smile again. I didn't even realize how much I used to hide it until I caught myself laughing WITHOUT covering my smile--something I hadn't done in years... I'm so grateful to Dr. Salmassian and his entire team for giving me that confidence back. Truly, thank you for your time, care, and dedication! :)

These are the orthodontists I wish I'd had as a teenager and I'm thankful to have had as an adult…read more I spent almost 4 years in braces as a teen before discontinuing treatment, hiding my smile, and doing clear aligners before my wedding. With my braces experience, the orthodontists never really listened to the challenges I was having in treatment, especially with headgear and elastics. Doctors Miyamoto and Tamashiro are true medical professionals who care about holistic patient outcomes and listen to what patients need so that they can find the right treatment for a confident smile. Coming in as an adult, they understood and didn't judge my bad history with braces. They used their expertise in their craft to customize an aligner treatment that corrected my bite and straightened my teeth, giving me my smile back. If I'd gone with my dentist, I wouldn't have had such thoughtful care, which may not have fit the 18-month timeline for my wedding or minimized my time in elastics. The practice runs on a mission to give patients smiles that they can be proud of because confidence and joy in life come through our smiles. That might mean different things for different patients and patients at different ages and the team here listens rather than doing one-size-fits-all solutions. They care about doing the right thing for the patient in the least invasive way, not the most treatment. By bringing together such a strong belief in the power of a great smile, a wealth of experience, modern techniques, and a kind, professional staff, they really did improve my life, not just my teeth.

Our experience with this orthodontic office has been nothing short of amazing, and I cannot say…read moreenough about the care my daughter has received throughout her braces journey. We were referred here by our pediatric dentist when my daughter was just 8 years old for monitoring, and from the very beginning, this office went above and beyond. They scheduled regular consults over the course of three years, carefully watching her dental growth and development to ensure the best possible timing for treatment. Dr. Megan has been absolutely incredible. She timed my daughter's braces perfectly, allowing her to simultaneously correct her overbite, which made such a difference in her overall treatment. From the start, costs and the treatment plan were clearly discussed and explained, so there were no surprises--something we truly appreciated as parents. My daughter was very scared during her initial visits, but Dr. Megan and her entire team approached her with so much kindness, patience, and love that her fear quickly turned into trust. A special shoutout to Shy, the dental hygienist--she is truly the best! She takes the time to explain everything she's doing to my daughter, prepares her for what to expect, and empowers her to speak up if something hurts or feels uncomfortable. Shy has become our go-to hygienist, and we couldn't imagine this process without her. Everyone in this office is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely caring. The front desk staff is always friendly and incredibly accommodating, consistently working with my schedule to ensure after-work appointments are available. The patience and compassion Dr. Megan and her team have shown our family throughout this journey mean more than words can express. I wholeheartedly recommend anyone looking for a detailed, knowledgeable, and truly caring orthodontic team to come see Dr. Megan and her staff. You will be in the best hands.

It pains me to write bad reviews but I wish someone had warned us before we came here!…read more Get Ready for a detailed review but if you just want the main reason, Embrace Your Smile wants to charge us over $10,000 for a two phase treatment for our daughter. We already paid them $4460 for phase one and now they want another $5800 for phase 2 for a 12 year old now, 10 when this started. Every other place we visited quoted us around $6800-$7200 for a two phase treatment. We started looking for orthodontists in the area and we scheduled 3 different visits. First two were great and had great reviews, they both recommended a two phase treatment and they ranged from $6800-$7200. The third place we went to was Embrace Your Smile and Doctor Weber who no longer works there turned on the charm and talked about his daughters and made our daughter feel very special. My wife and I recall their pricing being slightly more than the other two but their office and the owner (Dr Meagan) swear up and down that they never do 2 phase quotes and they only do one phase at a time. Not sure If that's accurate or not but willing to give them that benefit of the doubt and maybe we conflated the three estimates, but highly unlikely that I would just roll the dice and not know what the cost for 2nd phase would be as the other two were very sure she would need 2 phases. Next day my wife went in by herself and signed a contract for phase one only for a total contract price of $4460. Fast forward to last Sept when they pulled off her braces and told us we need to wait for her last few baby teeth to fall out before we start phase 2. We went back there a couple of weeks ago assuming we would pay the difference of somewhere around $2800 or so ( we actually thought we had paid the monthly payments for both phases in full already as it just came out of our card each month and we didn't pay close attention to it). We were shocked when they told us her phase 2 treatment was going to be another $5800 for a grand total of $10,260 for a simple treatment that everyone else then and even now (as we have talked to other orthodontics in the area agree should have been around $7k total for both phases). As we are shopping around now for phase 2 with highly rated orthodontists in the area, they all have recommended expander even on this phase, even with that their pricing is still cheaper than Embrace Your Emile. When Embrace gave us their plan for the second round, there was no mention of expander despite the other two recommending it. In conclusion not only does their price seem extremely high, we have also lost trust in their treatment plan so we are moving elsewhere to finish her treatment. When I confronted the owner about why they wouldn't give both phase pricing upfront she said there is no way to account for inflation two years from now and also said they sometimes don't need a phase two!! Strange how other practices can forsee that and offer transparent pricing. My advice for you is if you don't like surprises, pick a place that gives you the price upfront. Also asking for reviews for points probably isn't a good business practice. Lastly we had two issues while being there. One was this and other was with a tech that was making my daughter cry without a care. Both times we requested to speak to Doctor Meagan and to her credit she made herself available both times when she was done with her patients.
