AvA Orthodontics doctors and team in the office

Our Team

We love what we do. That’s why we are always smiling! We know how to have fun and be professional while taking care of you. We also make sure that you have a great time while you are with us. Our orthodontic assistants who help Dr. Amin Movahhedian and Dr. Hamed Vaziri are all Registered Dental Assistants, RDA. This means that they have completed specialized formal education and have passed grueling examinations.

Dr. Amin Movahhedian

I love the way orthodontics combines physics and dentistry to create a unique science that is dynamic and flexible in nature. It makes it a specialty that is perfectly suited to me. The connections that I make with my patients while we work toward beautiful smiles are rewarding. I meet so many fascinating individuals and learn from each of them.

Dr. Hamed Vaziri

I love my career as an orthodontist. It is the combination of art and science which suits my character very well. It also gives me the chance to see many amazing individuals on a daily basis. I get to know them, be a part of their lives and help them achieve their dream smile. In my opinion, a smile is what connects us together and that is why I love to create beautiful smiles.

Cailyn

Master of Disasters - District Manager

I was born and raised in Spring, Texas. I absolutely love to see people smile and being a part of AvA Orthodontics allows me to accomplish that. I take pride in the work I do and enjoy meeting new people! I am a huge animal lover and sports fan. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, baking, spending time with family and friends, and running with my Dalmatian, Colt.

Leslie

Master of Disaster - Office Manager

I have lived in Texas my whole life where everything is bigger including the smiles! Being a part of such an amazing team at AvA Orthodontics has allowed me the opportunity to help transform patients’ smiles. Outside of work I have my hands full with my fiancé and 3-year-old son Issac, who loves any zoo or farm animal. I enjoy fishing and riding jet skis out on the lake, barbecuing with family and friends, cooking, and shopping for new home décor. I’m so grateful for my second family at AvA.

Jami

Master of Disaster - Office Manager

My favorite part about working at AvA Orthodontics is walking into a positive atmosphere every day and seeing the patients' confidence grow throughout treatment. When I’m not having fun at work you can find me at the park cheering on my niece and nephew at their soccer games or wandering around Houston with my family trying to find new adventures!

Bettina

Smile Squad - Clinical Assistant

I am grateful for being a part of AvA Orthodontics! What I love is seeing patients' reactions to how their teeth look after their treatment is done and that every day is a new learning opportunity for me in the office. Outside of the office, I absolutely love eating sushi and being with my fiancée! I also enjoy watching sports, especially the rockets; basketball is my favorite sport to watch!

Chubby McChubberson

Fun Coordinator

I like to chill with patients and parents. I avoid the clinical part at all times, that's just too much work. In my free time, I like to take funny pictures with patients and dance with my co-workers. All the patients love me for my great looks and killer dance moves!
