I never needed braces as a child but my bite became misaligned in my 30s and required braces to fix it. I met with a few other orthodontists but they didn’t seem to confidently identify what was going on with my bite. When I met with Dr. Hakim he immediately knew what was going on with my bite and how to fix it. I was told my case was complicated and might require jaw surgery but I was thrilled that Dr. Hakim was able to fix my bite with only braces. I drive from San Diego and appreciate that the office is always willing to accommodate my schedule. My teeth look great and my bite is comfortable again!

Could not be more grateful to have found this practice after over a decade of having to take my kids to orthodontists where I feel we are not getting the best care and I’m spending way too much money. I finally feel I have found a practice I can trust. The wait is never long. The care is so detailed and thoughtful and the price is reasonable for the care we are getting. I’m so grateful to the doctors the staff and the thoughtfulness and meticulousness of this practice. Thank you so much for your highest quality work. Mom to three girls!

Highly recommend! My teeth were cracking and breaking and it turned out I didn't have a bite, even though I had braces as a kid. Dr Hakim and Dr Hakim gave me back my bite! They are also fixing my kids' teeth and have CURED my son's migraines that he's had weekly for 5 years. Incredible, kind staff and wildly talented, patient and empathetic doctors.
