Dr. Jaleh Pourhamidi Orthodontics is the perfect blend of the art and science of dentistry to change people’s lives by creating a more functional and aesthetic smile. Good oral health, including straight teeth, increases self-esteem and leads to better overall health. It is this idea that inspires Dr. Jaleh Pourhamidi as an orthodontist and educator. Dean of Roseman University of Health Sciences’ (formerly University of Southern Nevada) College of Dental Medicine and Di
rector of the college’s Advanced Education in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics/ MBA (AEODO/MBA) residency program, Dr. Pourhamidi shares her passion for orthodontics to her 30 residents who excel in achieving academic success while also providing high-quality, affordable orthodontic care to thousands of children, teens and adults throughout the Las Vegas Valley. Opened in 2008 near the university’s Henderson campus, the Orthodontic Clinic
The Orthodontic CLinic at Roseman University of health Services 4 Sunset Way, Bldg C Henderson, NV 89014 702-968-5222 www.rosemanbraces.com
at Roseman University features the latest in patient management and imaging technology, including a Cone Beam CT Scan that creates a 3D image of a patient’s head and neck in just 17 seconds, allowing residents and faculty to better diagnose functional issues and develop a more precise, individual treatment plan. Orthodontic treatment today is much more varied than the braces of the past and include such options as traditional and clear braces as well as Invisalign. A variety of colored bands also give kids opportunities to customize their braces, giving them the ability to express their unique personalities. A resident who is also a fully licensed dentist and an orthodontic faculty cares for each patient, with an extra emphasis on quality of care to achieve beautiful and functional smiles. According to Dr. Pourhamidi, it is this level of care, along with enthusiasm for the college’s residents, that continues to attract patients, many of whom are referred by other patients. Another advantage to patients is the cost. As part of an educational program, treatment at the Orthodontic Clinic is very affordable, with fees as low as half of typical fees at private practices. Additionally, the clinic accepts most insurance and affordable payment plans are available, making orthodontic treatment accessible to many families who would otherwise be unable to afford it. Dr. Pourhamidi also emphasizes that since Roseman is a private, non-profit university, the clinic has no patient income restrictions and, because of the number of residents in the program, there are no wait lists to become a patient.
