Before treatment
Quinn N.

I just want to start by saying that Dr. Christopher did an incredible job fixing my underbite without any surgery! The entire process was gentle, and I experienced little to no pain throughout. Dr. Christopher and his amazing team made sure I was taken care of every step of the way. They were always very transparent when explaining what they planned to do with my teeth. Everyone there is genuinely kind and caring. Even when they were clearly busy with other patients, they still made time to have a friendly conversation with me. The transformation of my teeth has been incredible. Not only was my underbite corrected, but they also closed the gap in my two front teeth! Most of this treatment was done at their old location at 15628 Brookhurst St, Westminster. I can only imagine how much more impressive the results would be now at their new, upgraded location. Their new address is: 402 N. Euclid Street, Santa Ana, CA 92703 I've been a patient here for over three years, and I've had nothing but positive experiences. If you're considering any dental work, I highly recommend this place. They are truly exceptional at what they do.

One week in. They got even jankier at the beginning lol had to be patient for the first few months. Still didn't stop me from dating apps

Many, many thanks to Dr. Christopher Nguyen. My teeth were pretty crooked, more than I had realized (I guess never paid that close attention until I got braces), but they were straightened with traditional metal braces in 2.5 years. He definitely knows what he's doing, and the staff there are also really knowledgeable and friendly. My only complaint is that sometimes communication is not always totally clear, and I have to be extra proactive to ask questions for clarity, or like, there were a couple appointments where I didn't actually have to go. So definitely don't be shy and just voice any concerns. For example, I could feel a large gap between two teeth at one point, and I just assumed it was okay until I finally mentioned it one day and he said to not hesitate to tell him stuff like that. So yeah, communication could be a bit better but also don't be shy like me lol

Smile!

THE BEST ORTHODONTIST EVER LIFE-CHANGING SMILE! If you're looking for the BEST orthodontist in OC, stop right now and book an appointment with Dr. Christopher Nguyen. I just finished my braces treatment, and let me tell you--it was quick, painless, and absolutely worth it. In just two years, Dr. Nguyen and his amazing team transformed my smile, and now, as I'm graduating, I can confidently say my smile has never looked better! From day one, Dr. Nguyen made the whole process smooth, explaining everything clearly and making sure I was comfortable every step of the way. I've heard so many horror stories about painful braces and bad dentists, but this was the complete opposite--his expertise and precision made the entire treatment feel effortless. He is on another level compared to most dentists out there! Not only is he insanely talented, but he genuinely cares about his patients. Every visit felt like catching up with a friend rather than a typical boring appointment. The staff is super welcoming, the office is spotless, and the overall vibe is just top-tier. He's the kind of orthodontist that makes you look forward to your appointments (which I never thought I'd say about dental work). Now, I can confidently say I have my dream smile thanks to Dr. Nguyen. If you're considering braces or Invisalign, don't even hesitate--this is the guy you need. My only regret? Not doing it sooner! Thank you, Dr. Nguyen, for giving me a perfect smile just in time for graduation. You truly are the GOAT of orthodontics!

Before in 2021

I used to have a severe underbite and extremely crooked teeth. After two years of braces, my smile is now perfect and I feel so happy every time I see my teeth. As someone who loves smiling with my teeth, I feel so confident to smile. I love the way my results turned out and I would go through this process with Dr. Christopher Nguyen again.

First day getting braces on

Dr. Christopher Nguyen is an exceptional orthodontist, and his entire team makes the experience even better. From the very first visit, Dr. Nguyen explained every part of my braces treatment clearly and made sure I felt comfortable and informed. He's incredibly detail-oriented, gentle, and genuinely invested in getting the best possible results. The staff is just as wonderful. Everyone is warm, patient, and professional, and they always greet you with a smile. The assistants are skilled and efficient, and they take the time to make each appointment smooth and stress-free. The front desk team is organized and welcoming, and they make scheduling and communication easy. The office itself is clean, modern, and very well run. I never had to wait long, and every visit felt comfortable. Thanks to Dr. Nguyen and his amazing staff, my treatment went smoothly and my teeth look great.

HANDS DOWN, best ortho office in all of OC!!!…read more Sons & Daughters orthodontics is a highly-rated (now we know why) ortho practice in Irvine, by The District at Tustin Legacy. They are known for using modern technology and offering services for all ages ~ children, teens, and adults, such as Invisalign or your traditional braces. Dr. Lee, Dr. Nguyen and their whole staff are so pleasant to interact and work with. They truly care about each and every one of their patients, young to old. They are super friendly and very efficient. The ortho office has a modern, ultra cute & chic aesthetic. Very inviting & sterile clean. Both my kids get their orthodontic needs (braces) here. My teenage son choosing the traditional braces option and my teenage daughter opt'ing for the newer Invisalign technology. Such a vast difference from the days when I had braces. Lol Wish I had options like these and not having to gag every time I had to have an impression made of my teeth. IYKYK YUCK! Now they have cool camera wands to do all that..like what?!?! Considered myself mind blown. My son actually just graduated this past week, after 2 years of wearing braces (I can't tell you how stoked he was for this day & to ring that bell lol) and his beautiful smile says it all. The newfound straight smile evokes such a renewed confidence in him. It's the best feeling & sight to see. My daughter will be next in less than a month. We highly recommend this ortho office..your smile will thank ya!!!

Because I decided to go with the initial removal and replacement of the retainer, I called to make an appointment with Yancy, the assistant that I spoken to previously regarding the options. Her entire demeanor changed when I called to schedule the appointment for the lesser expensive option, she acted like it wasn't worth their time, I wasn't an important patient anymore, like it was a hassle just to schedule an appointment. I literally felt like I was wasting her time. I called back the same day to cancel my appointment and am currently looking for another orthodontics center to perform the wire fix. EDIT: I'm editing my post that was once a 1-star review. Yancy called me to apologize. She assured me that they were there to assist me on whatever option I choose in regards to the correction of my retainer. At this time, I have booked another consultation with different orthodontist and I let her know that if things feel through with them, I would give her a call back. Thank you for calling me!

However my review is based on honesty and unfortunately that's not something I've experienced with this office. During my daughter's initial consultation for braces we were told she would need stage 1 at $3,400. ,being on a tight budget I went to 2 other orthodontist in the area to have an evaluation and receive their quote. The other orthodontist were charging me just a little more at $4,300, however they were stating my daughter also needed phase 2 and 3 but those were included in price. But since orthodontist Centre never mentioned phase 2 or 3 with me at our consult I felt like maybe I was being taking advantage of by the other offices and decided to go with my "cheaper option". We are now 14 months in and they have advise me that we are ready for phase 2 and 3...requiring an ADDITIONAL deposit and payment aside from the 3400.00I have already been paying. I'm very disappointed I feel like I was lied to, this should have all been discussed at the initial appointment. My oldest is also in need of orthodontic treatment, however we will go somewhere else to avoid tho situation.We live and learn. Unfortunately I was not familiar with orthodontic treatment in general I should have listened to the other offices and paid a little more and had everything taken care of. My advice would be to ask questions, cheaper is not always better especially here with the hidden cost.

To replace my retainers, I was first told I had to come in for a new scan because my previous scan could not be used. I go in only for the office staff to end up using my previous scan, which made that visit feel like a waste of time. After that, I was scheduled to come back the following Monday to pick up my retainers, but my appointment was rescheduled because I was told "I needed to be seen by the doctor." After adjusting my schedule, I came in only to not be seen by the doctor at all... meaning I could've kept my original appointment. The issue is the inconsistent information and poor communication throughout the process.
