PATIENT REVIEWS

I found Dr. Dayani because after already having braces twice, my teeth shifted tremendously to the point where the misalignment was causing me facial pain and the structure of my face had changed poorly. I had trouble closing my mouth without over stressing the muscle in my chin and all over my face. This caused me a lot of pain and insecurities so I consulted with multiple doctors who all said I needed jaw surgery. Finally I found Dr. Dayani who shared multiple options with me. We settled on Invisalign because it’s the least invasive but it worked! I am almost done with my Invisalign treatment and I can see a huge difference in my overall face symmetry and I no longer have pain. I am very thankful I found Dr. Dayani. He gave me options and was extremely informative. Thanks Dr. Dayani!

I had gotten my teeth straightened in high school, but outgrew my retainer in college. Since then I had wanted to get my teeth straightened and recently had the option of doing smile direct club or paying a little more and seeing an actual orthodontist. Ultimately, I am extremely happy with the decision I made to have seen Dr. Dayani. There certain things that he observed and fixed that I know smile direct club would not have done. His experience and education in orthodontistry really shows! His office is also very nice and his team took excellent protocols to make sure that I had a safe experience.

Dr. Dayani is the best orthodontist I have ever been to.  After years of trying to fix my teeth I was fortunate to get a referral to Dr. Dayani.  HONESTLY this is the best decision I have ever made.  Dr. Dayani took care of me and really went above and beyond to make sure everything was done properly and at the most affordable price.  He really goes the extra mile for his patients making the experience painless and easy.  I later found out that he is one of the top orthodontists out there and I am extremely grateful to have found this place.  Having been to other places that seem like mills that just churn out patients with really no thought behind the end result I am extremely happy that I made the decision to holt everything and come here.  I cant thank you enough for all your help and the extra care that you always provide and for making me truly happy with my smile.  I would give this place 10 stars if I could and I recommend anyone who really wants the best care and results to come here.  I never thought I would achieve the goals I was so hoping for and you make it happen.

Dr. Dayani is a wonderful orthodontist.  He takes his time with his patients and he genuinely cares for his patient.  I have been to at least 4 orthodontists and they all told me that I need to pull out 4 teeth!!  I never liked the idea, so I never got braces…until I met Dr. Dayani.  Dr. Dayani examined my teeth and said that he might be able to do my case without having to pull out any teeth.  And he was right!!  He’s almost finished with my case (just a couple more weeks ^-^) and I did not have to pull out any!!  THANK YOU so so very much Dr. Dayani!

Wow After reading the two negative reviews about dr. Dayani I knew I had to write a review. Dr. Dayani is a really chill guy and DEFINITELY cares for his patients. Both me and my two best friends had jacked up teeth until dr. Dayani made us braces. After two years of braces and taking good care of my teeth, all I can say is woah. My teeth are straight and white and so are my friends. The other two people who complained probably didn’t follow directions. Don’t forget that you have to do your part in listening and following the orthodontists directions (like brushing teeth, wearing rubberbands, etc). After my braces I asked him about teeth whitening and he made me a tray that comes with whitening gel and it’s great because my teeth are pearl white! Way to go Dr. Dayani!

Dr. Dayani is a great orthodontist and I’m surprised that there are any negative reviews. My son started with an expander and then moved on to braces with Dr. Dayani. About one year into the process he developed some health issues that caused me to inquire about heavy metal toxicity. I brought this up to Dr. Dayani and he was very understanding and went out of his way to help us. I asked about the metal in braces and he told me that there is a small amount of nickel in braces but that the majority of patients have no problem. However, since I had concerns about it and my son was experiencing symptoms that I was worried about, Dr. Dayani offered to remove his braces at no charge AND he and his staff researched non-nickel braces which he ordered and just yesterday put on my son. Let me restate this: he did all of this for NO CHARGE except the cost of the new braces (which he also negotiated way down for me with the manufacturer). In my opinion this is almost unheard of these days. He easily could have told me that he will a) charge me for the removal of the old braces, b) hit me for the full cost for the new ones and c) charge me for the installation of the new braces…all of which would have been understandable. But, he didn’t. Thank you Dr. Dayani for listening to your patients and for caring enough to help us when we really needed it. As a mother I am grateful that you didn’t make me feel like a lunatic regarding nickel toxicity and you didn’t charge me for the extra work that you had to do to help us. I highly recommend Dr. Dayani.

It has been 10 months and 12 more months to go, been having wonderful Invisalign treatment experiences at Dr. Dayani dental office; his staff Rachel is great with scheduling. I had crowded teeth; I have visited a few orthodontists, they took the faster and easier route, not very good for me in the long term. They wanted to grind in between my teeth down to make spaces for my teeth to move into place, in the long term my teeth will become very sensitive. Dr. Dayani was very informative, he seem to have my best interests first. He began the process by putting spacers in between my teeth for a couple of months before starting Invisalign treatments without grinding down my crowded teeth. My teeth are moving as schedule and am on my way to having a great straight teeth smile.

Wow after reading some of these reviews on Dr. Dayani, I felt it was necessary to give my own opinion of him. Everyone in my family (three sisters including me and my two brothers) all went to Dr. Dayani for braces and thought he was a great orthodontist. Our family is well known for our beautiful smiles and we owe it to Dr. Dayani. To answer the person who said, “He was also rude to quite a few patients, blaming them for things that he was responsible for,” if you’re talking about wearing your rubber bands, he has a point. It’s his job to put on the braces but you also have to take care of your teeth by using the rubber bands or turning the key of your expanders (I had them); any good orthodontist would blame you. Overall, I personally think Dr. Dayani is a cool guy and recommend him to anyone who wants a smile that lasts forever!

I just completed my orthodontic treatment with Dr. Dayani, and very happy about it. I would like to say Thank very much to Dr. Dayani and his staff for the job well done. I would recommend Dr. Dayani to anyone who wants excellent result with no compromise. He is very knowledgeable , experienced, with Passion, caring individual that I will recommend him to any one who need orthodontic treatment. The best thing about his office is he will let you visit the office without previous appointment and ask his current patients any question you have about his office and their experiences with his office during their treatment. Dr. Dayani I will smile all my life so can benefit 500% from my investment, just like you said. Thank you so much. Lis.

I have had invisalign with Dr. Dayani and it has been great! I am a little more than half way through the process and have already seen great change in my teeth. Dr. Dayani makes the process easy. His office stays open to the early evening which allows me to not have to take time off work for visits. I recommend!

I don’t know what all these 1 star reviews are about. Dr. Dayani oversaw my orthodontic treatment not too long ago and I think he did a great job. I found him to be very informed, thorough, and personable. His office is professional and clean, his assistant Lori is a sweetheart, and his desire to see all of his patients receive an amazing outcome is clearly evident each time you visit. Orthodontic treatment can often be a long and tedious process. If this is the case for you as it was for me, Dr. Dayani doesn’t sugar coat it. I appreciated his honesty and refusal to take short cuts regarding my treatment. I also thought his prices were very fair. If anyone asked me to recommend an orthodontist I would say Dr. Dayani.

I am very surprised to see the poor reviews below. Dr. Dayani has treated me for the past 4 years and the service has been exceptional. This was my second round of braces (didn’t wear my retainer as a child) and he made it as easy as possible. When I come in for appointments I never have to wait long and am seen right away. I also have never had a problem getting an appointment. I will say what the review below did not tell you… if you miss appointments or don’t take care of your teeth, you will have your braces on for longer than the estimated time frame. Dr. Dayani explained this during my first consultation. Other than being a great orthodontist, he was very personable and always concerned about me being happy with my smile. I still see him from time to time to check my retainer and would highly recommend him if you are looking for a new orthodontist.

I do not know why yelp is filtering my review, as I see all the good reviews for Dr Dayani have been filtered by yelp. That is showing why yelp has been in the news lately for manipulating reviews. No longer would use yelp. Dr. Dayani  is AMAZING! I know that isn’t very descriptive, but it’s hard to conjure up another adjective to describe his Orthodontic office. He is extremely informative, knowledgeable, and most importantly, willing to answer all your questions. I was referred  to him by my friend a former patient knowing that I would need jaw surgery to fix a slight under-bite, and Doctor Dayani worked together with an oral surgeon to help pave the path to my new smile (not to mention, the surgeon he works with is freaking awesome too). I’m a tough patient to work with since I’m pretty paranoid, but he was patient with me the whole way through. The rest of her office is just as incredible! Everyone is extremely nice, friendly, and welcoming. They’ve been working hand in hand with my not-so-cooperative insurance to help me pay for my surgical orthodontia. In addition to the comfortable atmosphere, the office fully utilizes technology to capitalize on efficiency. YES, people are accessible via email, including Doctor Dayani! Hallelujah. I love my new smile so much.  No regrets here.

I was Dr. Dayani’s patient about 10 years ago. I had perfect teeth after he was done with his work. However, I neglected to wear my retainers and 10 years later I needed some work on my lower front teeth. So, I am back to him again. From personal experience, he is an extremely capable and confident doctor. He is also very honest and straight forward with his patients. He told me my case would take about 9 months on day 1 and that’s how long it approximately took. He fixed the broken bond on the brackets more than dozen times. I didn’t listen to him and kept eating hard food. He replaced the bands many times, and changed the archwire once. I had to cancel my appointment couple times very late. He never, even once, charged me a penny more. That’s why I am back to Dr. Dayani. I was looking up his Irvine Office address when I came across the reviews on Yelp. Interestingly, even couple individuals from Oakland and San Francisco which is 350miles away from Los Angeles and Irvine had negative comments about Dr. Dayani. So, I felt the need to share my personal experience with fellow Yelpers.

Really great doctor! I had amazing results and the prices were absolutely fine. I read some of the reviews and I am sorry the doctor gets so much heat for things that are so subjective. He is a true professional and very caring. My teeth are splendid and I totally trust him with my children. I am really grateful my general dentist sent me to him and that I trusted him. (He used to teach in UCLA). And I wanted to add, I canceled my appointments so many times, even last minute and he never charged anything, ever! I only paid once, when we agreed on the treatment and that was it. My teeth were really bad and the fact that this man managed to get them to perfection in only 2 years, makes me bow! Thank you, Doctor!

Other orthodontists that I went to said that my teeth couldn’t be fixed with invisiline, that I would have to do conventional braces. However, when I had my consultation with Dr. Dayani, he did very thorough test (more so than any of the other dr.’s I had been to!) and came up with a plan that incorporated 6 weeks of an expander, and 2 years of invisiline. I am almost done with my invisiline treatment and I couldn’t be happier! My smile looks amazing, and the invisiline worked perfectly because he came up with the right plan for my specific situation. Additionally, he has been very precise, thorough, and helpful throughout the whole process. It has been a terrific experience.

I can’t thank enough Dr.Dayyani for my beautiful smile .He is definitely one of the best orthodontists in US .He is expert in his job and also very patient,kind and polite.I had a great experience with him as my orthodontist and I recommend it to every one who wants beautiful teeth with no pain in a short time .Thank you dear Dr.Dayyani, I appreciate what you did to me.

Been a patient of Dr.Dayani for the last 2 and half years. Came to him in hopes of fixing my very wonky and chipped teeth. He is beyond professional and makes you feel so comfortable. His staff is amazing. Shout out to Rachel. We started with a lingual arch expansion to create space between the teeth as they were over crowded and then Invisalign. He didn’t stop making new Invisalign’s for me until all my teeth were perfectly straight. He then did enameloplasty and bonding to reshape and fill in the chips of my many mishaps of life. He made me a custom retainer to wear for night time to keep my beautiful smile perfect. I could not be happier and I’m so much more confident thanks to him and his magic… highly recommend for anyone who is considering improving their smile. There isn’t enough kind words in the world to thank him.

Dr. Dayani is one of the most experienced and knowledgeable orthodontists in southern California.  I had several consultations for invisalign with others all over the area, but he was by far the most reasonable, honest and professional.  Rachel in the front office is always cheerful and accommodating as well.  You have a choice of offices too, so he is easily accessible to LA and Orange Counties. Don’t waste your time with others who just want your money.  I could not be happier with the results and would recommend him to anyone.

Why are 99% of all good reviews hidden and only 1% of bad ones hidden, and 99% of bad unhidden?  I wrote a long nice review  last year, and it does not show, unless I go to filtered reviews, there I found my good review, and a bunch of other ones.  Dr. Dayani is an awesome Orthodontist, please read the Filter Reviews if   you want to make an informative decision…other wise you will be making the wrong decision.  There are more good reviews than bad ones in the Filtered section.  I highly recommend Dr. Dayani!  Andrea.

The Invisalign appointment went like a breeze! Dr Dayani is beyond talented, sets correct expectations and really shows care in your treatment plan. I’ve seen few doctors before, but none of them seemed to truly understand what I really wanted. He is really knowledgeable and easy to understand.  I had braces before, so really needed a slight adjustment in the teeth. I’m beyond excited to start my treatment with him. The office staff is also very helpful and tells you what you need to come in prepared.

I was a patient of Dr. Dayani’s for 5 years.  My teeth are perfect thanks to him.  He is a dentist’s dentist.  You will not find a better orthodontist.  I recommend him to anyone needing braces.  At the time I was his patient, he had a practice in Beverly Hills and Irvine.  I went to the Irvine office.  I can’t say enough positive things about Dr. Dayani.  He is the best orthodontist in Southern California. – E.L.

Going through my first orthodontic experience as an adult was an emotional process to start. I was horrified at thought of having adult braces. After my first orthodontic  examination with Dr Dayani I felt confident that I had chosen the right orthodontist and the right course of action. I had braces for four months and invisalign treatment afterwards. Dr. Dayani and his staff could not have done a better job. I am thrilled with my results. Dr. Dayani’s office is clearly up to date with its equipment and skill set. In each of my visits I felt that everyone I spoke with was knowledgeable and very skillful – I never felt any discomfort whatsoever. I was also always given a very realistic understanding of what to expect from my treatment. I have met quite a few people who are going through orthodontic treatment and I have no doubt that from what I have heard that Dr. Dayani is the best. I recommend him to everyone I know who expresses an interest in getting their teeth fixed. From an adult perspective going through orthodontic treatment I am glad I chose a place where I felt comfortable and where my experience and expectations were always managed with an expert hand. Having braces was something I had dreaded for years, it ended up not being a big deal at all. Dr. Dayani customized my experience(switching from braces to invisalign) to suit my needs without jeopardizing good results. Mid way through invisalign I was rescanned and got a new set of aligners(my room mate who has invisalign couldn’t believe that!). Email and text reminders made things very easy for me. You CAN NOT make a mistake choosing Dr. Dayani and his team. Thank you Dr. Dayani (I am wearing my retainers!!!)Your review helps others learn about great local businesses. Please don’t review this business if you received a freebie for writing this review, or if you’re connected in any way to the owner or employees.

Excellent customer service. I had an incident with my braces, I went onto his office with no appointment and I was helped within minutes. This is the second time I had to wear braces and Dr Dayani its by far better than my previous orthodontist. most reviews are misleading, all the personnel and both offices (Irvine and LA) are really courteous and helpful. I have been coming to his offices for more than a year and I can truly say that I’m satisfied and grateful to have him as my orthodontist.

I had TMJ  and Orthodontic Treatment with Dr. Dayani. He did an incredible job. No moreTMJ pain and  I have had many compliments on my smile. In fact I loved the results so much that I no longer felt I looked too old to have Orthodontic treatment . I went back to Dr. Dayani and he did Enamelplasty on my front teeth instead of veneer or bonding another great job. I couldn’t be happier with the results. I did alot of research to find a qualified Orthodontist and I am so grateful I found Dr. Dayani. Not only is he a gifted Orthodontist but he is caring and has a great bedside manner. His office is staffed with friendly caring professionals. Having Dr. Dayani do all my treatment is one of the best decisions I have ever made. I highly recommend Dr. Dayani to anyone interested in TMJ, Orthodontics treatment, and Enamelplasty. I am smiling every day of my life. Chritina N.

(…) Dr. Dayani is one of the best orthodontists that I’ve come across, whom I feel really did care about every single one of his patients. He consistently had a friendly smile on his face during every appointment and really had a niche for giving his patients (mostly kids) a feeling of welcome with his Barney-the-Dinosaur like personality. During each appointment, he would always talk about his life and his experiences becoming an orthodontist and made me feel like I had a personal relationship with him. I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one that feels this way, too, I would come across his other patients during my appointments, which mostly consisted of local children who came in with their wealthy soccer moms, and they seemed to love Dr. Dayani as if he was freakin’ Willie Wonka himself. So come on, really? None of you moms out there have 10 minutes to spare to write this guy a good review, whom consistently put a smile on your kid’s faces? Dr. Dayani deserves way better than these other reviews (obviously staged) on this page. There was also an incidence towards the very end of my time with him where my braces were ready to be taken off, however, there was literally ONE tooth (one of my bottom front teeth) that still needed to move. It needed to rotate 1mm, a difference that would only be noticed if you look at my tooth with a microscope, and Dr. Dayani still refused to take my braces off until this tooth would move and his work with my teeth represented the best work that he was capable of. He could have easily just taken my braces off, collected my insurance money and sent me on my way, and I wouldn’t even have noticed. So to the people on here saying that he is dishonest, money hungry, a crook…? Come on. Really? No, just no.

I am absolutely elated that I chose to take my daughter to Dr. Dayani. From day one it has been an absolute pleasure. Dr. Dayani is very thorough in explaining the phases for orthodontic treatment. He did not direct all of the explanation to me as the parent, but included my daughter as well which is very important to me because my daughter is the one going through the experience. Dr. Dayani is very patient, kind, and has a FANTASTIC sense of humor. We enjoy every visit. My daughter has never enjoyed going into an doctors office as much as she does Dr. Dayanis office. Dr. Dayani’s staff is also very helpful, and thorough when explaining the phases and the financial details for the treatment. I always receive follow up appointment reminders which is great because I have a very busy schedule. With out a doubt 5 star treatment! THANKS A MILLION.

Excellent, Honest Orthodontist!! My daughter has been going to Dr. Dayani over a year and we’ve been satisfied with his services. I recommend him to anyone who is looking for a professional,honest and caring orthdonist. During consultation the Doctor reviewed my daughter’s case explaining what would be the best procedures for her individual needs, and also he provided payment options that were satisfactory reasonable.

Not sure how long this review will last on yelp since I’ve heard that they often remove reviews at their own will. Anyways, I was Dr. Dayani’s patient from age 11 to 16. In those five years, I wore expanders, braces, and retainers (which I still wear nightly) Today, I bear a proud smile with straight teeth, and I thank Dr. Dayani for that. He’s really funny and straightforward in his instructions, so all you need to do is just follow them and keep up with appointments and you’ll be done with your work on time. Thanks Dr. Dayani! I’ll be referring patients over!

My 3 children and myself have been going to Dr. Dayani’s office for the past 6 years. I had an open bite that is now fully corrected by braces and now can actually chew. My children now have a great smile thanks to Dr. Dayani’s expertise. He and his staff have been true professionals, polite and caring throughout this time. Dr. Dayani has gone out of his way to be patient with my children who have broken their braces multiple times and have been non-compliant. Nevertheless we’re finally done. Thank you, Dr. Dayani.

Dr. Dayani is not just a great Orthodontist and TMJ specialist he is a very wonderful human being. He has treated all of my family members (wife and 3 children) and myself. I was referred to him by my neighbor which I am very delighted and referred my friends to him. His office is a traditional office and dose all the work himself, take his time , very polite, dose excellent job, has an open house policy and let you stay in room if you like when he works on your children, great with kids,his philosophy is you have to aim for 200% so you can ahive 99% to 100%, his fees are very reasonable and very flexiable on payments.He always says make sure to smile all your life, so you make a great returen on your investments. Thank you very much Dr. Dayani Al J.

Dr. Dayani started treating on my, extremely disfigured teeth when I was 26 years old. Prior to the treatment I lacked total confidence and a hard time smiling in every social setting. Many orthodontists in the past, unlike Dr. Dayani, strongly suggested that my case required a surgery on my jaw that would cost me at least $10,000. This Dr. pretty much changed my life by making what I thought to be impossible into reality; my friends, relatives, and I believed that a miracle was performed. After about 2.5 years of treatment I was able to smile; it was as if I gained a new sense! This Dr. is very kind and he definitely knows what he is doing. I was mostly impressed with his superb graphic memory.

I think Doctor Dayani lives, breathes and dreams teeth! He is such a perfectionist, some people might not get it! But he is the absolute knowledge and amazing results! He straightened my crooked teeth to perfection! He came highly recommended by my general dentist and now I can happily say I’ll recommend him to everyone! Thank you, doctor Dayani. I know I am not the best patient, I missed, delayed and postponed many appointments, but you were always so patient and amazing with me! God bless you! And thank you for giving me the joy of a great smile!!
