About The Orthospaceship- Hakim Orthodontics

Based on Sunset Boulevard in the Sunset Strip area of Los Angeles, California, The Orthospaceship- Hakim Orthodontics is a dental practice serving the area. 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.

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.

Day-to-day oral health still comes down to the basics between visits — brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between the teeth, and limiting how often sugary food and drink appear through the day matters more than the total amount eaten at once. Regular professional care is what catches whatever those habits do not. This page has the practice's contact details and full service list. Get in touch through it to ask questions or book a visit.

Is orthodontic treatment only for children?
No. Adults make up a substantial share of orthodontic patients, and teeth can be moved at any age provided the gums and supporting bone are healthy.

Mild, brief sensitivity is common and often relates to exposed root surfaces or worn enamel. Sensitivity that lingers after the cold is removed is more significant and worth having examined, as it can indicate the nerve is involved.

We had the best experience with Dr. Hakim and his team dealing with mouth breathing and a visually uneven jawline for my teen son, and learning that the bite was uneven after Invisalign use at another orthodontist. Dr. Hakim helped my son with his bite, and after treatment ended, my sons bite is now even and he can work with the mouth breathing with more ease, now that one part of the underlying issue has been solved. Very pleasant and thorough guidance and treatment and always very friendly and comforting - both doctors and all the staff. Highly recommend. Thank you!

This practice is truly in a class of its own. From the moment we scheduled the appointment, I could tell we were dealing with a highly organized and professional team. We received timely text reminders and easy-to-complete pre-visit forms. My son had been told multiple times that surgery was necessary. After evaluating him, Dr. Hakim recommended a non-surgical solution, something no one else had offered us. We were also facing an insurance challenge since Dr. Hakim was out of network for us. His team went above and beyond; they contacted our insurance provider directly, handled the required paperwork, and helped secure coverage. I’m incredibly grateful for both the medical care and the administrative support. It made a stressful situation much easier.

I’ve had an excellent experience with Dr. Hakim. He’s very attentive, professional, and has wonderful bedside manners — always taking the time to explain every step clearly and make sure I was comfortable throughout my treatment. I began my treatment at 46, with two baby teeth (10 and 11) that never fell out because the permanent teeth had not erupted, and my lower jaw was quite crowded. Dr. Hakim not only improved my smile but also corrected my lower jaw alignment — it looks amazing! Although my permanent teeth couldn’t be pulled down because they were stuck in the bone, Dr. Hakim still achieved beautiful results and made sure everything else was perfectly aligned. His team is just as amazing — Gabi, Gen, and Roger were always gentle, kind, and did an outstanding job at every appointment. Jolissa was also wonderful, thoroughly explaining all my insurance benefits, working with insurance, so the claims would be actually covered and being so accommodating when scheduling my appointments. Thank you from all my heart to all of you! I highly recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality orthodontic care and genuine kindness.
