House of Orthodontia

Theirs nothing wrong with this office it’s just that it’s meet for kids the owner did call me and explained a few things that I appreciate so I will be giving them a second chance

Today is the day when I got my braces off after a 21month process. I am so happy with the results of my teeth that I had to give this establishment a 5 start review. The office is super cozy that even has wide screen entertainment in their Main lobby area. their staff is incredibly nice and each one of them is very knowledgable. Not just the doctors are expected to know their craft. Love how understanding they were each time I had to miss an appointment or reschedule. Most importantly they provide an extremely highly quality service while utilizing state of the art facilities for a very good price. My braces only cost 6k and I had extensive work to be done as an adult. Super happy and will recommend others. My only issue is that parking is very hard to find, so I would suggest to make your appointments later in the day.

I brought my son for consultation based on my dentist’s recommendation. The process and cost was very clearly communicated to me by the dentist and the office/​business manager before I committed. Braces are not an insignificant investment since my insurance doesn’t cover orthodontics. The price was very very reasonable and all the doctors we have seen are friendly and professional. Additionally, they are very accommodating in terms of scheduling around a school age child’s busy schedule.

I had a very good experience here, even though I decided not to go with Dr. Alikhani’s dental plan. He explained all of my options and outlined the work he wanted to do. After meeting with him, I spoke with a woman about financial planning and what a payment plan would look like, along with what my insurance would and wouldn’t cover. As I said, in the end I decided that braces were not the way to go, but if I need to visit an orthodontist again or someone asks to recommend one, I will send them here.

My son Nicholas who is 12 is going there for a 2 year process of braces little by little as the last of his baby teeth fall out and all of the doctors he sees there are friendly and the receptionists are, as well. He never complains about going and that’s a lot for a 12 year old who complains about a lot! We are seen promptly and out of there promptly, usually see one of the Doctors on Sunday which is super-​convenient so I don’t have to take my son out of school. Yesterday my son lost a piece of his head-​gear and they set me up for a 5pm appointment tomorrow (only because I was the one who couldn’t make it today). Not only that but when I said I couldn’t afford the whole treatment plan, they told me about ways to save money on my son’s treatment and gave me $ 500 off which really helped immensely as I’m a real estate agent and my husband has a dogwalking service, so it’s not like we have dental insurance! The no-​interest payments are great, too. Our only other option was to schlep to NYU Dental School @ 24^th St. & 1^st Ave. in Manhattan for what turned out to be the same price and wait in a crowded waiting room for a student (and it turns out Dr. Alikkhani is on staff there as faculty I think!) A real treat to go to someone who really cares. I thought the last of them went out when I had my own teeth done 30 years ago.

Good things:
— He has the fancy x-​ray equipment which he uses whenever he needs. Quicker turn-​around and less expense for the patients.
— Least expensive orthodontist I have seen.
— Board certified.
— Nice and distinctive waiting area: old theater seats and soundless films projected on the wall.
— Alana-​the-​receptionist is very pleasant.
Drawbacks:
— As Dr Alikhani has a small staff and spends what time he needs with his patients, one will sometimes be left in the aforementioned waiting area a while. Alana will be apologetic, but I think of it as some quiet time to catch up on reading.
Because we keep moving, I have been in the care now of THREE orthodontists, and Dr Alikhani is my favorite. Dr Alikhani is the second orthodontist I went to see. He frowned quizzically at the molds from my previous orthodontist and explained that he used computer modelling. My brackets were different from his wires but he made things work. When in his chair I felt as if I were in the presence of Geppetto pouring his passion and skills in to fashioning his missing son from my teeth. He would explain what was going on, and I would understand half of it through the enthusiastic techno-​babble, with the reassurance that he was really in to all the handy-​work he was putting in to my mouth – He’s a nice enough guy but at his core, at least around patients, he is an orthodontics nerd first and foremost and he’s going to get them teeth straightened!
We were on the same page: I was happy for him to move aggressively, and he teased with glee of the pain he would cause. I actually took some ibuprofen after some of our visits.
The House of Orthodontia ranks high on the list of things I miss in Brooklyn.
