Invisalign
Invisalign uses custom-made, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth without traditional braces. Ideal for adults and teens, this discreet treatment corrects crowding, spacing, and bite issues. Patients wear each aligner for 1-2 weeks, progressing through the series to achieve their desired smile.
Braces
Braces effectively align teeth and correct bite problems using brackets and wires. Options include metal, ceramic, and champagne-colored braces, tailored to patient preferences. Treatment duration typically ranges from 18 to 36 months, depending on case complexity.
Retainers
Retainers maintain teeth alignment post-treatment, preventing relapse. Available as clear, Hawley, or fixed retainers, they ensure long-term stability. Proper care and consistent wear are essential for lasting results, with replacements available as needed.
Orthodontic Appliances
Orthodontic appliances address jaw development and tooth positioning, including palatal expanders and TADs. These devices support proper alignment and bite function, often used in early intervention or complex cases requiring skeletal adjustments.
Surgical Orthodontics
Surgical orthodontics corrects severe jaw irregularities through combined orthodontic and surgical treatment. This approach improves both function and aesthetics for adults with misaligned jaws, enhancing chewing, speech, and facial symmetry.

Just finished up my orthodontist journey with Dr. Nguyen and team, and I couldn't be happier! I'd give more stars if I could. Everyone I've met in the clinic has been phenomenal. Super friendly, clean, communicative, and professional. I'd highly recommend them to anyone looking to get braces or Invisalign. Thank you Align team!

Dr. Nguyen and her team are amazing! So kind, professional and helpful. I started the process of correcting my underbite which involved getting braces again as an adult. It always was a breath of fresh air to visit her office, very sweet team and they were always so responsive if I had any questions. Thank you!

Report
Both our daughters are currently getting treatment (braces). Place is clean, staff is helpful, and friendly! We came here because our previous orthodontist seemed more driven by money than by quality of treatment. This place seems way more honest and we're very close to having the braces removed and the end product is looking great!

Dr Mirna Nguyen and her assistant (I think her name was Jessica, she's blonde sorry!) were EXTREMELY HELPFUL when walking me through my retreatment process. I have had braces before and I wish I had originally got my braces treatment done with Dr Mirna Nguyen and potentially Dr Henry at the time. They gave me a huge wealth of information during our consultations and had tools that no other orthodontists or dentists have.
They ran a simulation for me to show me what my retreatment journey would look like and they were so knowledgeable about the process that it helped make my decision so much easier. If you're looking to get your teeth fixed or straightened, Dr. Mirna Nguyen is definitely the way to go! She and her staff handled me with so much care and made me feel really welcomed, I knew I could trust them with my teeth.
