It is a privilege to work every day with so many amazing people, including my patients, their families, and my office staff. I am a better person because of what I learn from them about compassion and integrity. As an orthodontist, I am passionate about providing the best orthodontic treatment and individualized care to my patients.”

Meet Dr. Iverson
Dr. Darin Iverson, a practicing orthodontist since 1997, earned his dental degree, as well as his specialized post-graduate certification in orthodontics, from the UCLA School of Dentistry.
A native of Las Vegas, Nevada, he chose to join the oral healthcare field because of his own experience as a patient. Undergoing orthodontic treatment as a teen had a significant impact on his smile, his confidence, and his oral health. It was one of the best gifts his parents gave him, and he wanted to be able to provide that same gift to others.
Dr. Iverson strives to stay current on the latest developments, findings, and treatment modalities for patients. This helps to make treatment efficient, and helps ensure ideal timing and treatment to meet each patient’s individual needs.
Dr. Iverson enjoys giving back to his community by volunteering with local youth groups and organizations. He currently serves as a troop scoutmaster with the Boy Scouts of America and is also active in his church.
In his spare time, Dr. Iverson enjoys traveling, camping, surfing, exercising, snowboarding, and watching movies. He lived in Bolivia for two years during his undergraduate years and is fluent in Spanish. In recent years, Dr. Iverson has developed an interest in studying languages and is currently working on Italian, French and Portuguese. He also loves spending time with his family. Dr. Iverson has been married to his wife Tammy for 29 years, and together they have raised one daughter and three sons. He hopes one of his children will someday choose to become an orthodontist so that they can work together.

Patient Reviews
Iverson and Wahab Orthodontics are absolutely the best. Great customer service, friendly and professional staff. This is the fourth orthodontist we’ve used and they’re by far the top! Thanks for taking care of our daughter.
I can’t recommend Dr. Iverson, Dr. Wahab and their staff highly enough! Everyone makes you feel at home and at ease, because they take time to have real relationships with clients. The care and service are excellent. The incentive program, photos, video games and cookies are such a nice touch. Is it possible to have fun at the orthodontist’s office? At Iverson, the answer is “yes”!
I came in for Invisalign treatment after my regular dentist was unsure of his ability, given my complex case. Dr. Iverson is so great with every aspect of his business. From the moment I met him to each time I see him, he is very professional, laid back, and genuine. He makes me feel at ease about everything, when previously I have hated anything dental related. You will not be disappointed if you go to him for any of your orthodontic needs.
Dr. Iverson’s & Dr. Wahab’s practice truly represents the ideal office and I would recommend them as a model business for all those in the medical profession. Kind, charming and capable staff, easy self check-ins, fun contests, prizes and gifts, clean and modern surroundings, comfortable and top-of-the-line equipment, all topped off with a friendly attitude and perpetually happy faces.
All three of my sons have been treated by Dr. Iverson. They love their visits with Dr. Iverson, and just as importantly, they adore his entire friendly, competent staff. Appointments are easy to schedule, the office runs efficiently and on time, and the entire staff is very good with children. Dr. Iverson and his staff are the absolute BEST!
Awesome! Hmm… where to start? I am an adult patient that has completed orthodontic treatment with Dr. Iverson & Dr. Wahab. From the first phone call to schedule an appointment, I was in love. Dr. Iverson, Dr. Wahab, and their staff are always smiling, always polite, and I feel they genuinely care. I am very lucky to have found such a wonderful Orthodontist and staff. Thank you guys!
This practice is awesome! The staff is knowledgeable, welcoming, personable, and efficient. Everyone treats the patients with respect and kindness. Both Dr. Iverson and Dr. Wahab are extremely professional, and the staff’s positive characteristics reflect the doctors’ demeanor and approach to dealing with their patients!
