Services
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign uses virtually invisible, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth without metal brackets. This discreet option allows normal eating and oral hygiene routines. Ideal for correcting crowding, spacing, and bite issues in teens and adults.
Damon Self-Ligating Braces
Damon braces use self-ligating technology for faster, more comfortable tooth movement. These braces eliminate elastic ties, reducing friction and treatment time. Available in metal and clear options for discreet orthodontic correction.
Early Orthodontic Treatment
Early intervention for children aged 7-10 addresses developing bite issues and jaw alignment. This phase uses expanders and braces to guide permanent teeth eruption, often preventing future extractions and reducing overall treatment time.
Lingual Braces
Lingual braces are placed behind teeth for completely invisible orthodontic treatment. Custom-fitted for optimal comfort and effectiveness, these metal braces offer discreet correction for complex alignment issues in appearance-conscious patients.
InBrace Smartwire Technology
InBrace uses customized Smartwires placed behind teeth for discreet treatment. GentleForce technology moves teeth gradually without monthly adjustments. Patients enjoy hidden correction with no dietary restrictions or visible hardware.

Been a great experience from step one of the entire process. Initial visit was informative and made my 10-year old daughter feel very comfortable. Everyone from front office to orthodontist is extremely welcoming and has been very helpful. Would highly recommend.

If you're looking for an orthodontist in the South Bay, look no further. I had consultations with a couple orthodontists before deciding on Mashouf Orthodontics and I am so glad I did! The thing that struck me right away was how kind and genuine Dr. Kayhan and the rest of the team were. During my consultation, we discussed my treatment goals and the different options for getting the results I wanted. Dr. Kayhan is incredibly knowledgeable and he clearly has a passion for orthodontics.
I decided to get InBrace lingual braces, which are brackets mounted behind the teeth with a "smart wire" that slowly moves your teeth. Some high-tech stuff! I hadn't heard of this type of lingual braces before, but after discussing with Dr. Kayhan I was super excited to start my treatment. After a little over a year, I could not be happier with the end result!
