Brace yourself!

Dr. Akhavan and staff (Wila, Bri, Kaylee, Sarah, and Savannah) are amazing and very welcoming. From the initial visit, everyone made us feel like we belong. With nervous littles, they were patient and informative. A sincere blessing!

Highly recommend!

Danielle Deedrick
LOVE Dr A and his team! Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a new smile. We haven’t finished treatment (halfway through) but have been on this journey for a long time. I love that Dr A is not pushy and recommends treatment that makes sense over $$$. He was our second opinion and I’m so glad we ended up here! Thank you Dr A and team for making our smile journey a breeze!

Victoria Salomon
I just finished my treatment on January 21, 2026! And honestly I have so so many good things to say, starting with the team. Everyone at Next Level Orthodontics is so professional, kind, fun and personable; they shine not just for their personality, but for their knowledge and expertise. In addition to that, the entire process is seamless from a process of intake (shoutout to Wila the first person I got to meet in the office), to the scans, check-in appointments (Kaylee helped me with most of mine and she amazing!) and to the retainers, and kept under safe and periodic mechanisms to ensure you are progressing within your treatments. The other plus, is all the products have beautiful branding!

In my time as a patient, I’ve seen al walks of life come into this office, children, young adults, the elderly and more, everyone walks out with a smile!

The scheduling system is also super easy and flexible! Scheduling reminders are sent via text and email. At the front, Savannah, is amazing always providing all the info needed and helping with recs.

Last but not any less important, the pricing options and different treatments provide patients with affordable options to pay for their treatment

Overall I am so thankful and happy I chose NLO and cannot thank Dr. A and his team enough!
Response from the owner:Hi Victoria,
Congratulations on finishing your treatment — we’re so excited for you! Thank you for such a thoughtful review and for recognizing our team. Wila, Kaylee, Savannah, and Dr. Akhavan will truly appreciate your kind words.
We feel very grateful you chose Next Level Orthodontics and trusted us with your smile.
