The best orthodontist experience I have had in my life (and this is my third orthodontist)! The entire staff is very caring and they listen to every concern. Highly recommend Dr. Mawaldi and his lovely lady crew!!

Amber D.

As an orthodontist myself, I was blessed to have been taught by Dr. Mawaldi during my training. Not only did Dr. Mawaldi teach me the clinical skills that I needed to become a proficient orthodontist, but he also instilled in me the support and confidence every young orthodontist should be lucky enough to receive in order to excel in our specialty. I witnessed him use his same gifts and genuine heart for his patients as well.I can assure anyone reading this review, that they will be in the best of hands under Dr. Mawaldi's care and that they should absolutely look no further in search of an orthodontist. If I myself needed orthodontic treatment, I would go to him, sit back, relax, and shut my eyes, and not even for a moment consider asking him a word about my own treatment plan. I trust him completely. He is the orthodontist's orthodontist.-Dr. David Dayan

This office has been the best I have ever been to. My progress from when I started the braces process until now has been amazing. I had consultations with other orthodontists before I found Life Smile and they wanted to charge me an arm and a leg to do work that wouldn't actually fix my problems. I would 100% recommend this practice.

Destiny B.

Previously had braces/Invisalign with a dentist in Florida and my experience was so bad I decided to just accept where I was at and live with it. However, the military made me move to Ft.

Tonya P.

Amazing experience! My child (10 years) had a really bad overbite and his jaw was too small. The changes over 9 months time were tremendous. The staff was always friendly, caring and paid attention to you. My son asked as many questions as he could and they always took the time to make sure they paid attention to him and answer all the questions they had. We were referred by my sons dentist and couldn’t be happier in the decision we made. They changed his smile.

Veronica J.

Liceth Maria Felix R.

I was treated for 3 years for my braces, was really understandable about how difficult it was to wear rubber bands and I still got many chances. I 100% recommend it, have no complains.

Michy

Dr. Mawaldi has been amazing all the years we have been going here. He is very professional, very thorough with his work and very kind. You can see that he really cares for his patients. My daughter is on the spectrum and he has always taken her feelings into consideration and given her great encouragement throughout all of jer appointments. We are so thankful to have found an orthodontist like him. :)

THIS PLACE…IS AMAZING. i couldn’t have picked anywhere better to get my braces. so far they have already checked up on me and seeing how my mouth is. it’s clean, the vibes from the staff are fantastic (the girls who worked on me the first day i went in..luv them they’re so sweet). I felt so comfortable there, judgement free, lots of conversations, lots of laughs. plus the inside of the office is so aesthetically pleasing. DR. Mawaldi really shows his care in is job, and clients. he made sure i understood everything, made sure everything was perfect. even the way he talks to his own staff was so uplifting. im looking forward to my smile transformation with them. i really can’t thank them all enough(:

My experience with Dr. Madwaldi was truly a life changing experience. I struggled for years with my teeth and how secure I felt within my own perspective, he made me gain that security.

Ultrigo2

I highly recommend Dr. Mawaldi and LifeSmile Orthodontics! I got evaluations/quotes for Invisalign at three different places and Dr. Mawaldi was BY FAR the most knowledgeable and passionate. He spent significantly more time with me during the initial evaluation than either of the other orthodontists reviewing and explaining all the options, what my X rays showed, treatment plans, etc. and was able to get my information sent to Invisalign that same day so I could start my treatment as quickly as possible. He was additionally very cognizant of my financial constraints and worked with me to establish a manageable monthly payment plan. He and Jill are both extremely knowledgeable and passionate about this field and it shows in the high quality work they do. The office is spotless, welcoming, and very modern with all the high-tech equipment. They also have great hours (evenings/weekends) which has been so helpful since I work full-time in the hospital and can't get out during the day. I am only a couple of months into my treatment but I have had a great experience so far and can't wait for the final result!

Gillian G.

I was referred here by my dentist Dr. Han back in June of this year. During the initial consultation Dr. Mawaldi and Jill both took the time to explain the financial plan, how the treatment plan was going to go, and they ended up being able to get the treatment started the very same day by putting braces on my upper teeth. It's been almost 5 months now, and the change w/ the front tooth that has been the main reason keeping me covering my mouth for years has already improved a good amount when comparing the initial pictures Jill took compared to looking in a mirror. I know there's still the bottom braces to have put on in due time, but I feel reassured knowing I can contact them whenever needed and if I break a bracket for a 2nd time 😅 they'll find a way to get me in to fix it ASAP. They are a truly compassionate team who manage to make an (absurdly) anxious person like me feel at ease when I come through the door.

Melissa R.

Really nice people! They are willing to answer any questions you have. I would definitely recommend for adults and children.

Sasha S.

Dr. Mawaldi and his team are some of the kindest and most intelligent people I have ever had the pleasure to meet.I have seen two different Orthodontists in my lifetime and this practice FAR surpasses any service I have ever received. Dr. Mawaldi will treat you as a human rather than a patient and that is something very special and very rare. He does more than just straighten your teeth, he creates a smile that forms and fits perfectly to the structure of your face.I only have positive things to say about this place, I truly feel that it was destiny that I found this team.

Julia B.

I just add my first set of top braces on today. Awesome experience at LifeSmile Orhodontics. The office has animated coaching on how take care of your braces. The staff is phenomenal and my braces look great

Lynwood W.

LifeSmile is a wonderful dental office. I got my first set of braces put on today. The whole process was painless. Dr. Mawaldi and his dental assistant was very gentle and afterwards very helpful. They also worked with me financially with the down payment. I also took advantage of the grand opening deal they were offering and got a great deal for my treatment plan. I could not have asked for a better experience. God bless!!!
