I am very happy with the expertise and care given to me with Bloom! They had me use angel aligners which were very effective AND more affordable than Invisalign. Like others have said, the staff is very kind and I had no issues with scheduling appointments in a timely manner. The ONLY area of improvement I would like them to work on is educating patients on what exactly long term treatment can look like at the very beginning. I didn't know about the need for my permanent retainer until the end of my aligner treatment, so it felt kinda sprung on out of nowhere. Nonetheless, the doctor was reassuring and great with explaining the process once the topic was brought up. Overall, would definitely recommend! read more

I love the newer location (clean, beautiful inside and parking). My permanent retainer fixed! Great experience and thank you! read more

My two young daughters have been seeing Dr Vu for the past few years and we couldn't be happier with our orthodontic experience. She is not only kind and patient but incredibly thorough and open to all my many questions. The staff, from reception to hygienist are all fantastic; they are kind and always make my daughters feel at ease. I recommend Dr Vu to anyone seeking ortho care! From Maya (age 13) - Bloom orthodontist is a fantastic orthodontist. Their office is a very welcoming place to go. The people there are really nice and make me feel very comfortable. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who needs ortho care. read more

Everyone in the office is helpful and friendly. My orthodontic program was designed specifically for my needs and timeline. They even went above and beyond and gave me an additional complimentary retainer after my original retainer didn't fit anymore because of dental work done by another dentist. Also, the new location is easy to get to and has ample parking. read more

We went to a few orthodontists for consult before deciding on Dr. Vu for our daughter. We decided to go with Dr. Vu and we couldn't be happier. Both offices, Garden Grove and Long Beach are clean and their staffs are friendly. Dr. Vu is very knowledgeable and friendly. In addition, I find their prices to be the most reasonable of all the quotes we received. I would definitely recommend Dr. Vu to my family and friends. read more

As someone whose smile was their biggest insecurity, finding a great orthodontist was super important to me! My general dentist did ortho in house, but since I had a gummy smile I wanted to correct he referred me to an office that he worked with. My general dentist recommended that I ask for TADs to bring up my teeth to shorten my smile. So, I went in for a consultation at the referred ortho in Lakewood and it was such a horrible experience that I knew I had to shop around on my own and I am so happy I did! That said ortho office was pushing Invisalign AND JAW SURGERY and said that fixing my smile with TADs would not be effective. I refused jaw surgery and the ortho said "FINE!" and still prescribed me with Invisalign and TADs and left the room. (You just know he's getting bonuses for pushing those little clear aligners ) I found Bloom Ortho after googling and searches through my insurance and again, I am so happy I advocated for myself and found this office. The office is so clean and modern, and the fact that it is women-owned and ran by women made me feel even more comfortable. Overall, the experience I had over the two years of my orthodontist was always pleasant and fast! There were a few times where a wire popped off or a bracket broke, and they were able to take me in within a good time frame. We did traditional metal braces with TADs and I honestly could not be more happy with my smile. I always thought I would get veneers at some point in my life, but now I LOVE my smile and feel as if I don't need them! Thank you Bloom Ortho Y'all are the best. read more

Both of my children received treatment from Dr Vu. One of them has completed their treatment, and the other is currently in the waiting and following up phase. It has been a wonderful journey for our family. The entire process was smooth, and we truly appreciated the support and accommodation from Dr. Vu and her staff. They were very flexible with scheduling and always welcomed us with a warm, understanding attitude, making each visit comfortable and stress-free. I highly recommend Dr Vu for pediatric orthodontic care read more

I had the most amazing experience at Bloom Orthodontics. From start to finish, I was greeted by friendly and helpful staff who made the whole process so seamless. I'm sort of a shy person, so it makes a huge difference to me when the staff is friendly and welcoming. I came to Bloom seeking treatment with InBrace, as I'd failed Invisalign before and needed something I couldn't take out and forget to put back in. My doctor was very knowledgeable, straightforward, and honest about what to expect from InBrace. I was given a realistic timeframe for when my teeth would be straight, and they were straight by that time! I highly recommend Bloom Orthodontics. I'm so happy with my smile! read more

Bloom Orthodontics - My smile after InBrace - Orthodontists Near Me - Long Beach, California

Bloom orthodontist is amazing. Dr Nguyen is the best at making sure you are happy with your results. I was concerned getting braces in my 30's especially in a corporate job. I was so happy with my lingual braces and the results. It didn't impact me much aside from a slight lisp. Can't recommend dr Nguyen enough. read more

Office is extremely clean. Staff is consistently friendly and flexible with scheduling. Easy to access right off the freeway, so conveniently located. read more

Good review: (1) Very sweet staff and clean office. (2) Your appointment always starts on time and you are attended to right away. (3) Plenty of parking and easy to get to if you're from Long Beach. Bad review: (1) Limited office hours. They are not open Monday-Friday all day. No weekends either. Very difficult to book if you're on a busy work/school schedule. (2) When they removed my braces, the technician was NOT gentle and kept slipping & hitting my gums. This made them VERY swollen and made my gums bleed sooo much. (3) Dr. Thao buys BAD QUALITY supplies. Cheap glue & wire used with the permanent retainer. The glue and wire was peeling off. (This retainer is new... only 4 weeks old). Please see my pictures. Thank you. read more

I came to Bloom after finishing Invisalign with another provider and not being satisfied with my results. Dr. Vu was understanding from the start in what differences I would want in my smile from a secondary Invisalign treatment. She has great attention to detail and is very precise in her results. I finished my treatment in under 6 months and am beyond happy with my smile! The office staff is very friendly, organized and accommodating with appointments as well. Thank you for such an easy experience, Bloom! read more

I got my braces done back in 2019. I tried inbrace because I didn't want the look of the traditional braces and I didn't want to have the hassle of removing and putting back on Invisalign. The staff were friendly and the place was clean. I hardly ever had to wait long in the lobby. My results weren't that great. I wasn't happy with how the front of my teeth looked because the top portion wasn't straight. They reassured me that it should looked that way. I didn't know better since I've never had braces done. My general doctor told me that my bite is not align and that I might want to consult a orthodontist since I've been experiencing some jaw locking. I've been doing Invisalign with another orthodontist and they were able to fix the front of the teeth to align and they wouldn't recommend me to do inbrace because it's simply not strong enough to correct the back teeth. So because of the results I cannot give them 5 stars. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Thao Vu! She's very knowledgeable and meticulous! My journey started with a consultation in mid-2018. Dr. Vu presented me with a few options (traditional braces, invisalgn, or inbrace/lingual braces). At the time being in my late 20s, I opted for inbrace. To start the process, I needed 4 extractions (each corner) because I had overcrowding. Unfortunately, my case for inbrace was denied (took a few weeks to find out) due to me needing extractions, which meant my case would be more complicated. The moment I found out my case was denied, I was bummed because that meant I can only go with traditional braces (while in my late 20s planning for a wedding within 2 years) because I knew I wouldn't be compliant with invisalign & it would end up being a waste of money. To my surprise, Dr. Vu presented me with another option of getting extractions first & then just having wires/rubber bands on each corner to help close the spaces first and resubmit my case for inbrace. In Fall 2018, I got 4 extractions & then Dr. Vu added wires/rubber bands to each corner to help close the space. She started seeing me every 4-6 weeks (until Covid). Within a few months, I saw a huge improvement with my teeth straightening without having braces yet. By Fall 2019, my case was approved for inbrace & I started with inbrace both top & bottom for a few months until Dr. Vu informed me that my bottom teeth weren't shifting as fast due to inbrace not being as aggressive as traditional braces (there was so much overcrowding on the bottom before). She offered me the option of keeping inbrace on top & getting traditional braces on the bottom to speed up the process, which I agreed. Fast forward to Feb 2022, I got my bottom braces off & Mar 2022, I got my top braces off. On my wedding day (Feb 2022), I still had inbrace on top, which no one noticed. Most people didn't notice I had braces at all throughout the process. My process was bumpy, but I have one suggestion: be open-minded. Everyone's mouth & teeth are different. Dr. Vu will give estimates & time frames, but they can change due to things out of her control. I experienced a lot of breakage (wires, rubber bands, etc) due to my strong jaw/clenching. I was supposed to wear rubber bands to fix my overbite, but one button came off during covid & I couldn't see Dr. Vu for months, so that slowed down the process too. What I appreciate was Dr. Vu was upfront about the cost and once I paid it off, she continued doing the work until it was done. She didn't take shortcuts or use snakey tactics. For example, some believe that orthos give an estimate of 2 years but drag it out longer so you pay more, but it's definitely not the case here (unless patients decide to add on additional services). Dr. Vu is very informative and presents all the options pertaining to your particular case, but never forces anything. She gave me all the knowledge I needed to make decisions for myself. One negative is the limited hours. I was lucky to have been in grad school and have an untraditional work schedule, where I was able to fit in visits to the ortho. But the limited hours is to see Dr. Vu herself (she keeps a good eye on all her cases). In the case that I had an emergency like something broke, I was able to schedule other days/times to see an assistant to fix for me (same day or same week). The limited days/times may be due to work-life balance or other personal reasons, but just know that Dr. Vu puts 100% in when working with her patients. The meticulous work and service that she provides is worth the time/hassle of limited days/hours. She has a 2nd location in Garden Grove now! Timeline: September 2018: 4 teeth extractions, wire/rubber bands on each corner to close the space September 2019: inbrace on top & bottom Some time in 2020: inbrace on top & traditional braces on bottom February 2022: bottom braces off March 2022: top braces off read more

Bloom Orthodontics - I love my smile now! Thanks bloom - Orthodontists Near Me - Long Beach, California

We love Dr. Vu. Three of our four family members have gone to Bloom for braces and we are very happy with the results. She is very knowledgeable and trustworthy when it comes to orthodontics and we highly recommend her. There are two offices - Long Beach and Garden Grove - and both are friendly with great customer service. We searched other providers but her pricing was competitive so we chose Bloom. read more

Bloom ortho is clean, professional and where ultimately went to get aligners ( like Invisalign // except I got 3m because it was about 2500 cheaper ). The dr. Is very thorough and didn't mind me asking a bunch of questions about the process. My dentists office is kinda old school but this place has all these fancy machines and is super accommodating. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Friendly Staff, clean facility, and pleasant to do business with. Clear-Plastic braces were not fun, but not horrible. You warm up to them quickly and they allow for a lot of versatility. It's worth the end result. As a someone who's never had braces it's great to ask the following to have a clear understanding of the treatment: 1. What is the the estimated treatment time 2. Explain the possibility and potential length of a 'second round' of treatment. Also, what you can be done to avoid it. 3. Once the treatment is complete, how long should I expect to wear a daily retainer. Also, make sure you understand the length of treatment they are prescribing to your insurance paperwork so you don't make any changes in the interim as that can add complications., otherwise ask them to adjust it to match your actual treatment as it occurs. They will work with you! read more

Staff is friendly, communicative, and flexible. Removing a broken permanent retainer and replacing with a standard retainer was a very smooth process. read more

Super clean and bright office. In the two years we went for appointments, the wait time was never more then 5 minutes. When there were unexpected issues, they were able to get us in the next day every time. Low stress environment. Highly recommend. read more

Thao is the best orthodontist. I had braces before and didn't know it was done incorrectly. Thao gave me all the information I needed and was very patient with me. I had a gummy smile and never liked to smile but I have the perfect amount of gum showing now. Also, my bite is better and it changed the dynamics of my face. Very glad I went to Thao! read more

Bloom Orthodontics - Smile - Orthodontists Near Me - Long Beach, California

Dr. Vu and her team are fantastic! My daughter looks forward to her monthly visits and is always excited about choosing a new braces color. Dr. Vu was able to complete treatment without needing to pull teeth. Dr. Vu and her team always listen to, acknowledge and take action when my daughter mentions an issue with the comfort of her braces, and will often see her the same day to snip a wire that is causing discomfort. Her orthodontic treatment stayed on track even during COVID. Thank you to Dr. Vu and her team for making my daughter's orthodontic journey a pleasure not a chore! read more

This office goes above and beyond to help you find the best option. The treatment coordinator researched our insurance policy and provided us detailed coverage information to help us make our decision. They provide free consultation which is super thorough and includes X-rays and 3D imaging. In no way did they pressure us to sign up for treatment with them during or after the consultation. They were honest and provided full disclosure of what would make the most financial sense for us. I am very impressed with the professionalism shown to us. A big shout out to the treatment coordinator Ariana. You're the best I've encountered! read more

I highly recommend Dr. Thao Vu for orthodontic care. I've lived all my life with fangs and front teeth angled like ajar doors. It took me a very long time to finally gather the nerve to get braces, and took me even longer trying to find the right orthodontist. Dr. Vu came up with a treatment plan and had a vision for how she was going to reshape my smile. She was very knowledgeable and gave me options for how we were going to execute the plan. She was very good at explaining what we needed to do every step of the way. At times when I felt apprehensive, she was patient with each adjustment, even if it meant extending the duration of my treatment. The Bloom Orthodontics office is very clean and her staff is always very friendly. I ended up moving 30 miles away and did not want to switch to another service provider, as it was worth the drive. They were also very flexible and accommodating to my work schedule, which I really appreciated. My braces are finally off, as of yesterday. I love my new smile and I feel like a new person thanks to. Dr. Vu and her team. read more

Updated review: I went back for ceramic braces after my teeth shifted from years of not wearing my old retainers. I previously had radiation so my teeth did not move as easily as the average person (who knew that was a side effect haha). Dr. Nguyen gave me realistic goals and adjusted my treatment plan as needed. I had them on for about 1 year, and although my teeth aren't perfectly straight, they're much better than what they were. I am glad she set realistic goals with me so that I wouldn't be disappointed. read more

Dr.Vu is amazing the staff is always nice, the office is very clean and up to date. Any time I have a question I always receive feedback, easy to book appointments. I love my teeth. I loved having Lingual braces, when I did my research she was the only one I found and she is very knowledgeable! Thank you read more

Waste of time coming here. Had a consultation when the rep went over all the options with our insurance plan and we scheduled a follow up to get started. When we show up for the follow up the rep informs us that we are no longer in network and the kicker is the rep pretends that they told us this the first time. I would have never scheduled a follow up if this was the case. If you make a mistake at least own up to it. This could of been a lot worse if I paid my portion of the co-pay and started the process on our first visit. Beware of the info they tell you. Leaving this review because the rep handled the situation so poorly. I've never been misinformed and treated so badly by a dental office before. read more

Dr. Vu is amazing. I did inbrace and I am so happy with the results. I was estimated that my treatment would take 6 months - 1 year. It ended up taking 1 year and 3 months but that just shows how patient Dr. Vu is and how she wants to make your teeth perfect. Dr. Vu took the extra time to shave some of my teeth that had chips or needed evening out. She also was super nice when I had brackets break occasionally and needed to come in extra. The office is super clean and professional. They have high tech equipment and the assisting staff is soo nice! I think inbrace is the route to go, Highly recommend! read more

So I'm shopping for Invisalign with a few orthos in my area but I was told I have to use conventional braces because my teeth are too messed up to qualify for that procedure. I was bummed out about it until I came to Bloom Orthodontics. I came thinking I'm going in for a quote on conventional braces right?! Dr. Vu did something that the others did not do, she gave me an x-ray with a higher-tech machine, and NOW she's telling me why not go Invisalign. I couldn't believe it, and I still can't after 2 years later with the procedure finally complete! Thank you Dr. Vu and your awesome team in helping me get the smile that I've always wanted!!! read more

I have been procrastinating about getting braces over three years. I went to two orthodontist before coming to Bloom Orthodontist. When I came here for my consultation, I knew this was the one. Dentist explained in detail, answered my questions, not pushy at all. She recommended that I get Sparks, which is similar to Invisilgn. I started my treatment two weeks ago, I'm not going to lie, I was terrified, nervous, and anxious . I hope I spell her name right, Suhey was amazing, she put in the attachments on my teeth and placed my fist set of aligners. She explained the whole process while she was doing work on me, she was also kind and patient. Evelyn told me about the payment plans and she is flexible in getting me appointments at my availability. I can't wait to see the end result! I truly recommend this place to anyone looking into getting ortho work done. read more

I sporadically decided to straighten my teeth and it was one of the best decisions I've made. A MAJOR part of why this decision was so great was because of Bloom Orthodontics. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Dr. Vu takes her time with each patient and makes sure she understands the results they want. I went through multiple rounds of scans and trays and never felt pressured or rushed to end treatment. I felt understood and listened to. It's very easy to book an appointment (so much flexibility!). The office is clean and there is tons of parking on site. This was the easiest process I've ever dealt with. 100% recommend! read more

I was referred to this office. I have had nothing but a pleasant experience during each visit with Dr. Thao and the staff there. Everyone is very nice.

My dentist has recommended Bloom and my brother was already a patient. I went to Bloom to get a quote for Invisalign and got quotes from other Orthodontists closer to work for convenience but since my brother had a good experience, I made the choice to go here. Dr. Vu is seasoned in her profession and was a pleasure being her patient. All her staff are friendly, proficient, always call and email reminder of my schedule. They always have a convenient schedule since I travel far and get off work late. The office is clean, equipment is modern and well maintained. I could have went somewhere else for less, but the experience with Bloom was better than the savings. Thank you Dr. Vu for a pleasant experience and a straight teeth. read more

We love Bloom! From the cleanliness of the office, the responsiveness of the front office staff, and the attentiveness of Dr. Vu, we are definitely fans.
