Braces
Traditional metal braces use advanced bracket technology to correct dental alignment issues efficiently. Our titanium alloy systems combine durability with comfort through smaller, smoother designs. Patients benefit from precise tooth movement control and optional colored elastics for personalized aesthetics. Treatment typically lasts 18-24 months with regular adjustments.
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment utilizes custom-made, removable clear aligners to gradually straighten teeth without traditional brackets. The 3D imaging technology creates predictable treatment plans with virtual progress tracking. Patients enjoy eating freedom and easier oral hygiene maintenance during the 12-18 month average treatment period.
Clarity Advanced
Clarity Advanced ceramic braces offer tooth-colored brackets for discreet orthodontic treatment. Ideal for appearance-conscious patients seeking fixed appliance benefits without metal visibility. Requires diligent oral hygiene due to material properties but delivers effective results for moderate to complex cases.
Phase I Treatment
Phase I treatment addresses developing bite issues in children aged 7-10 through dentofacial orthopedics. Specialized appliances guide jaw growth and create proper space for permanent teeth. This early intervention prevents severe problems and simplifies future comprehensive treatment phases.
Surgical Orthodontics
Surgical orthodontics corrects severe jaw discrepancies affecting function and appearance. Combining pre-surgical braces with orthognathic surgery realigns jaws for improved bite and facial symmetry. Typically performed on adults after growth completion, this treatment enhances chewing, speaking, and breathing capabilities.

I had a positive experience with Dr. Brian Kim and his team. I have nothing but good things to say about this location and the staff members. From the quality of their work to their professionalism and the end result. They show the same level of concern for their patients from the consultation to the end. Thank you all for making this process an enjoyable one. Hope everyone is doing well.

I've waited two years for this review! I absolutely love Dr. Kim's office and the exceptional service that I have received for over two years now. From the first consultation session to each follow up thereafter, my visits have been markedly exceptional many thanks to the staffs' energy, from the receptionist, to the assistants, and of course Dr. Kim. I am slated to have my braces removed after two more sessions and beyond excited for whats to come (I'll no longer have a buster smile, woooo!).
Extremely saddened given I will no longer get to see everyone's wonderful faces. Would a hundred times over recommend you and your loved ones to support this local Orthodontist. Dr. K and his staff are 1 of 1. Wishing them continued success.

Im am finally a few weeks away from having my braces removed, I've had them on for 2 years and I have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Kim and his staff. They are all so attentive, kind and go above and beyond for their patients. I truly could not have had a better experience. Dr. Kim is educated, organized, and just simply the best he really knows what he's doing.
