The caring, gentle and highly experienced Clarity Orthodontics team is truly one of a kind! This team is made up of registered dental assistants, certified x-ray technicians, and a knowledgeable and personable front desk staff.
Like our doctor, our support team is committed to providing you and your family with exceptional and individualized orthodontic care and customer service.  Dr. Shamlian treats team members like part of their extended family, not only Clarity Orthodontics employees. Most importantly, the team members enjoy working together and volunteering in the local community together.
