AYEH'S STORY
Joyful Orthodontics is the result of Dr. Ayeh Mahdmina’s incredible journey—one marked by resilience, dedication, and a vision for reimagining orthodontic care.
When Ayeh was 11, her family emigrated from Iran to the U.K., an experience that taught her the value of perseverance and adaptability. Arriving in a new country with no English and little familiarity, Ayeh worked tirelessly to excel in school, mastering a new language and laying the foundation for her dream of becoming a medical professional.
Her passion for dentistry began as a teenager when she had her own braces fitted. Having experienced both anxiety at the dentist and the comfort of compassionate care, she was inspired to pursue a career where she could make patients feel valued and at ease. A pivotal moment during a work placement at a dental practice solidified her calling, and in 2008, Ayeh qualified as a general dentist.
Her curiosity about orthodontics—sparked during her own treatment—led her to specialise in the field. After five more years of intense training, she achieved her dream, qualifying as a specialist orthodontist in 2015.
Throughout her career, Ayeh has worked in a variety of orthodontic practices, both private and NHS, honing her skills, raising her standards, and developing a deep understanding of exceptional patient care. Her passion for children’s preventative orthodontics and complex cases like impacted teeth further fuelLed her drive to make a difference.
The pandemic gave Ayeh an opportunity to pause and reflect. During this time, she discovered the transformative power of mindfulness and self-care, which brought her back to her work more balanced and inspired. This journey of self-discovery planted the seed for Joyful Orthodontics—a practice that combines her two great passions: orthodontics and well-being.
Ayeh envisioned a space where patients could feel truly cared for, not just through their treatment but in their overall experience. With a focus on creating confidence, connection, and community, she developed Joyful Orthodontics to transform smiles while fostering self-love and positivity.
Today, Dr. Ayeh Mahdmina leads Joyful Orthodontics with a commitment to authenticity, compassion, and excellence. Her dream is to build a lasting community that celebrates every patient’s unique journey, offering a place of comfort, connection, and transformation.
