Reviewed by Dr. Cyrus Aghdam and Dr. Neelab Anwar, board-certified orthodontists at Happier Smiles Orthodontics in Escondido, CA.
Escondido families choose Happier Smiles Orthodontics for care from two board-certified orthodontists, an honest and conservative treatment philosophy, flexible 0% in-house financing, and advanced technology, all delivered with a warm, family-first approach. Your first consultation is always free.
Our goal is simple: to create beautiful, healthy smiles our patients value for a lifetime. We know you have several orthodontists to choose from in Escondido, so here is what sets us apart and why so many local families trust us with their care.
Two Board-Certified Orthodontists
Most orthodontic offices have a single doctor. At Happier Smiles, you get two board-certified specialists, Dr. Cyrus Aghdam and Dr. Neelab Anwar, who plan cases together so you benefit from two expert opinions. Board certification is a voluntary step that only about one in three orthodontists completes, and having two under one roof is a real advantage for your family. Learn more about what board certification means and meet our doctors.
Personal, Family-First Care
We treat every patient like family. From your first visit, we listen to your goals and build a personalized plan around them, never a one-size-fits-all approach. You are a person to us, not a chart number, and we stay reachable by phone, text, and email throughout your treatment, returning after-hours messages the next business day.
Honest, Conservative Treatment
We practice with honesty and transparency. Our conservative approach means we only recommend treatment when it is truly needed, and we explain your options clearly so you can make a confident decision. We treat every patient with the empathy and straightforwardness we would want for our own family.
Flexible and Affordable
A beautiful smile should be convenient and stress-free to achieve. We offer 0% interest in-house financing, low monthly payments, and options to fit real family budgets, plus HSA and FSA acceptance and third-party plans. For busy schedules, we also offer virtual appointment options. See our financing options for details.
Advanced Technology
We stay current with the latest orthodontic technology so you get precise, comfortable care. Our office uses digital iTero® and Alliedstar intraoral scanners for accurate, goop-free impressions, remote monitoring to reduce unnecessary visits, and in-house 3D printing. These tools help us plan treatment carefully and keep you moving toward your finished smile.
Trusted by Escondido Families
Our patients say it best: Happier Smiles Orthodontics holds a 5-star reputation across hundreds of Google reviews. We are also proud to give back to the community that trusts us, supporting Smiles Change Lives, local schools, and neighborhood sports teams throughout Escondido and North County San Diego.
