About Owtad Orthodontics

Based on North 87th Street in the South Scottsdale area of Scottsdale, Arizona, Owtad Orthodontics is a dental practice serving the area. 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.

Orthodontic treatment straightens teeth and corrects bite problems using braces, clear aligners, or similar appliances over a period that commonly runs from about a year to several years depending on the case. It is offered to both children, where early evaluation can catch developing issues, and adults at any age.

Continuity matters in dental care — seeing the same practice over time means your history, X-rays, and any patterns in your oral health are already on file, rather than starting from scratch at each visit. That familiarity is part of what a regular dental home offers beyond any single appointment.

Dental anxiety is common, and most practices are used to working with nervous patients — through clear explanations of what is about to happen, a slower pace where needed, and sedation options for patients who want them. Avoiding the dentist out of anxiety tends to make eventual treatment more involved, not less.

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.

Does orthodontic treatment hurt?
There is usually pressure and tenderness for a few days after braces are fitted or adjusted, or when moving to a new aligner. It is not typically described as painful, and it eases as the teeth settle.
What does an orthodontist do?
Orthodontists specialise in the alignment of teeth and jaws, using braces, aligners, and related appliances to correct crowding, spacing, and bite problems after additional training beyond dental school.
Are braces or clear aligners better?
Fixed braces handle complex movements and severe cases more predictably. Aligners are removable and far less visible, but they only work while you actually wear them, so they suit people who will keep to the routine.

Have had a great experience getting Invisalign at Owtad Orthodontics! The price was very reasonable compared to other quotes I got in the area. Dr. Owtad and the whole staff here are great. You can tell he really cares about his patients and making sure they have a positive experience and results. I've recommended here to many friends in the area who are interested in Invisalign, I definitely wouldn't want to go anywhere else!

My 7 year old daughter was incredibly scared to get her expander in.. she cried for 45 minutes to an hour. Everyone in the office was super patient with her and did everything they could to make her comfortable and i couldn’t appreciate that more. They allowed her to hold the appliance, offered her toys, water, a donut, tried to talk to her, and most important gave her the space she needed to be comfortable. As a mom, that is something that makes me very happy. We weren’t rushed out due to her being scared and we weren’t embarrassed.. we were supported. Every time we go here the experience is better than the last. This place is top notch and everyone is amazing. I definitely recommend Owtad if you need or are looking for an orthodontist. I couldn’t be more grateful and more happy with this office. Thank you so much!

I am very particular about my teeth and my smile. For the last 8 years, I have worked with different orthodontists, but I still did not reach the smile I wanted. After doing deep research online, I found Dr. Payam! From the moment I met him, he listened carefully and looked at my smile as a whole. He explained everything clearly and shared a very natural organic approach to improving my teeth. Dr. Payam is professional, down to earth, and easy to talk to. I’m really glad I found him. If you care a lot about your smile and want someone who truly listens and, most importantly, does a good job, I would definitely recommend Dr. Payam.

We were referred here from close friends and are so glad they did! It has been the best experience for my son so far. Hes been coming here for a year and they have always been very accommodating and kind. I had braces as a kid and didnt always love the experience so im glad we were able to find someone that would treat him as a person and not just a patient. Definitely recommend them for all ages!

I just finished my treatment with Dr. Owtad, and I can't say enough good things! The entire process was smooth, and my results are better than I thought possible. What sets him apart is his passion. During every appointment, it feels like you’re talking with an artist perfecting his craft. Once he corrected the functional issues with my teeth, he went above and beyond to ensure my smile was 100%. He noticed and improved so many details I hadn't even thought of, walking me through every step of the process. He engages his patients and makes you feel like a partner in the journey, it's actually fun. On top of that, he is one of the kindest people I've met—his appointments are always a total pick-me-up!
