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.

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.

I am beyond thankful to be a part of the AvA team! The best part is to see the patients' end results and how much their smiles have changed. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends and trying new restaurants all around Houston!
Jami
Jack of All Trades - Treatment Coordinator
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!
Rose
Jack of All Trades - Treatment Coordinator
I was born and raised in Houston, Texas!
While working at AvA I’ve been able to connect with patients throughout their treatment and I get to learn every day. The best part is being able to see patients’ reactions when they get their braces removed. They all have this “no braces glow” and I love it!
Outside of work I love spending time with my siblings and finding new things to do around Houston.
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!

I was born and raised in Houston, TX and love exploring the city along with my daughter. I enjoy going out for late night drives, doing hair, shopping, getting lost in a good book, going to baseball games and traveling. Being a part of AvA has allowed me to meet some wonderful people along the way. It’s a very rewarding feeling when patients love their end results, it means we did our job right! Their smile is the reason we smile!
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!
