About Modern Orthodontics
Modern Orthodontics is a dental practice on East Spring Street in the Plaza area of Long Beach, California. Traditional braces use brackets and wires to gradually move teeth into alignment, handling complex bite corrections and significant crowding more predictably than removable alternatives. Treatment commonly runs one to three years, with a retainer worn afterward to hold the result.
Children benefit from starting dental visits early, generally by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth coming through, mainly so they become familiar with the setting before any treatment is actually needed. Establishing that routine early tends to make ongoing checkups far less stressful for both child and parent.
Payment and insurance arrangements vary by practice and by treatment, so it is worth asking directly what is covered and what options exist for anything that is not, rather than assuming either way. Getting that clarified before treatment starts avoids surprises once it is underway.
Beyond any single treatment, most dental visits start with an examination — checking for decay, reviewing the gums, and looking at existing fillings or crowns — often alongside X-rays where there is a reason to look between or beneath teeth. That groundwork is what a dentist uses to explain any findings and set out next steps before you leave.
Routine attendance, roughly every six months for most people, is what actually keeps small problems small. A lot of decay and gum disease develops without any pain in its early stages, which is why regular checkups matter even when nothing seems to be wrong, rather than only booking an appointment once something hurts.
A first appointment at a new practice typically covers a full examination, a review of your dental and medical history, and a professional cleaning, with X-rays if you do not have recent ones. It is also a reasonable time to raise any longer-term concerns, cosmetic or otherwise, so they can be factored into a plan going forward.

Great!
We had a wonderful experience bringing our son here! My daughter Keena recommended she had good experience to this clinic .From the moment we walked in, the front desk Erika was warm and welcoming. The clinic so nice and fancy . The dental hygienist and Dr. Jafari very nice . Talking to us . Were so patient , gentle, and explained every single step in a way that made my son feel comfortable and excited instead of scared. Highly recommend this practice to any parent looking for a kind and caring children's dentist!
Dr, Jafari and staff are awesome! I wish we found them sooner. We were at the tail end of any child’s ortho treatment and were really disappointed with the other orthodontist and her lack of care and empathy for my child. I won’t name names our previous pediatric orthodontist was so unprofessional and made no effort to really treat my child with proper care. The other orthodontist was very condescending to my child and made her feel very upset had a horrible ortho experience. Thank god we found modern orthodontics and Dr. Jafari. We explained our poor experience with the other orthodontist. We told her that we were looking for a new orthodontist that would take over to finish out her braces. She gladly took us in. Her and her staff were so warm and welcoming. This is her own practice and I really can feel the difference in the amount of care and professionalism that she has for her clients. Dr. Jafari and her staff truly made our child feel welcome. Thank you so much Dr. Jafari and staff being so great.
