My smile before treatment
Adri E.

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.

My smile after InBrace

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!

These are my bottom teeth. Permanent retainer peeling off (I barely got it 4 weeks ago!!) Bad quality at Bloom Orthodontics.

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.

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

I love my smile now! Thanks bloom

The first thing I noticed about the office is how spotless and clean it is, when you come in they…read moreare so welcoming and ready to accommodate you with whatever dental issues you are having. Dr Vu was very patient with me and made sure I was comfortable in every step of my procedure, I would highly recommend him and will be getting all my dental work with him. Michelle, Mayra, & Martin were all very professional with their work and did an amazing job, they also have such great personality that makes for a great vibe in the office. I'd recommend any ILWU member to come visit their office and get work done, it's well worth it.

I had such a wonderful experience at this dental office and truly cannot recommend them enough…read more From the moment I walked in, Verol , Claudia , and the entire staff was warm, welcoming, and professional. You can immediately tell that they genuinely care about their patients and take pride in the level of service they provide. The team was incredibly attentive throughout my entire visit. They took the time to listen to my concerns, explained everything clearly, and made sure I felt comfortable every step of the way. I never felt rushed or dismissed -- which is so important when it comes to dental care. They were also very accommodating with scheduling and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. The quality of the work on my teeth was excellent. I'm so happy with the results! They were gentle, thorough, and paid close attention to detail. It's clear they value both precision and patient comfort. What really stood out to me was the overall friendliness of the entire office. Everyone was kind, patient, and respectful. It made what could have been a nerve-wracking appointment feel easy and even enjoyable. If you're looking for a dental office that combines skill, professionalism, and genuine kindness, this is the place. I'm so grateful for the care I received and will absolutely be returning! Dr. Fuller is the best as what she does. Dr. Fuller and the Dental Assistant Michele help me with my smile that I have been struggling with for the past couple of years. Please choose this dental office.
