About
Bio
My career as a dentist started in 2003 after I earned my first dental degree, DDS from Mashad University of Medical Sciences, Iran. Following my return to the United States, I went to the University of Pennsylvania, PA where I graduated in the top of my class and earn my second dental degree, DMD. I then completed a two-year post graduate training at the University of Detroit Mercy, MI and awarded my third dental degree, MS in Orthodontics.
To demonstrate my excellence in the field of orthodontics, I participate in examination process of the American Board of Orthodontics. Through this, I became a Board Certified Orthodontist and awarded the title of Diplomate of The American Board of Orthodontics. Only a very small group of orthodontists in the world earn this additional title.

Contact the office: Your orthodontist might have done it on purpose or the wire simply came out of the braces. In either case you can inform the office and get advise.
