If I were getting braces again, I would 100% recommend this orthodontist again. Dr. Christopher and his staff are very friendly. They are clear at communication, explaining the braces/retainers process, and great at building trust with patients. I am extremely happy with how my smile turned out :)

I got traditional braces in my mid 20s. If you're debating, then this is your sign to go for it. Originally, I thought I would only had them on for a year and a half but it took around 3 years (10/2021-10/2024). We didn't remove the braces until both doctor Chris and I are happy with the results. My teeth journey took a bit longer until end of 2025 because I needed more work done. I got a bone graft and tooth implant at a different DDS location and the doctor there also complimented my straight teeth and bite. The whole process costed a lot of money and time but overall it was worth it.

my teeth when i first started treatment

I have been coming to this dentist for my braces about 2 years now. I have always been scared and hated dentist. Dr. Nygeun and the staff have changed that. BEST ORTHODONTIST EVER. Everyone here is very educated in the field and kind, makes you feel like your home. I just got surgery in my gums and the process and results is absolutely amazing. I would trust them and recommend them every time. My teeth are finally, something I love.

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!

He would show me visual previews of the entire progression. If we went one route, here's what it would look like and how long it would take. If we went another route, here's what would change. I could actually see the options, understand his recommendations, and help pick the direction. He kept me involved throughout the whole process. It was literally a one-of-one experience. And the entire staff is out of this world. These guys truly live up to the name Family Orthodontics. It feels like one giant family, and I cannot say enough great things about them. I was so happy with my experience that I recommended my brother. He got braces with Dr. Dean too, and he's having the same amazing experience. Look at the before-and-after pictures. That transformation means so much to me. I'm beyond grateful, and they have my highest recommendation. Thank you, Dr. Dean. You're epic.

It's easy to make an appointment and I never have to wait long when calling in. I've only had two issues during my time here: 1) ortho scraped/cut my gum line (not a big issue because I don't think there was lasting damage 2) I wish I would have had more information during the consult on how ortho impacts my gum lines (found out that because my teeth are moving, this can result in my gum receding - I learned this on my own towards the end of the treatment). 3) When I received conflicting information between my ortho and dentist regarding using a night guard, I had to really push the front desk to have the ortho speak to my dentist. I had to make this request three times and eventually insisted because there was conflicting information given. My last positive to share - once I finished my treatment they gave me two pairs of retainers and accommodated my request of making the width of the retainer thinner to avoid additional impact on my gum lines.

First off, I have to explain that I'm not a dentist person. I'm usually all anxious and only go…read moreregularly because I know it's important...so the decision to willingly get orthodontic treatment was a big step for me. Also being an adult and getting braces, I was concerned it would make me look like a kid and impair my ability to talk. I went to a couple of orthodontist offices and got a lot of different feedback of what could and couldn't be done and what methods would be viable for me. Scheduling my free consultation was easy, and when I arrived I only waited a few minutes before I was taken back for photos and xrays. I have to applaud them for having some of the top equipment at this office. I wasn't forced to hold weird square of plastic in my mouth, or goop for impressions. It was all very comfortable, and the techs were super nice. I really enjoyed the thorough explanation that Dr. Park gave me about the plan for my teeth. She set realistic expectations and asked me about what was important to me about my smile. Even the payment options were a breeze to work through with the office manager. He didn't mind me and my husband asking lots of questions and reviewing the contract, and even said he was happy to explain anything. Also, they were the best pricing and payment options we found in the area! I'm three months into my 30 month braces plan and already see so much progress! I'm so happy I found this office.

Initially I would of given a 5star review because the office is clean and the staff is for the most…read morepart very friendly. 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.

Only downside from what I remember is that once they took off my braces, there was a little gap in between my front teeth, and they were trying to get me to wear my braces again after 3 years of wearing them to fix it (had them on when I was 12, they took them off when I was 15). And of course I didn't want to because, well, I was a teen. They scared me for no reason cause once I had my retainers on, they closed. There was literally no reason for them to suggest putting my braces back on . Also, I asked for them to remove it just for a week because I had my own quinceañera coming up, and I heard that so many girls got theirs removed and put back on, and my friend who actually had a sibling who works there got hers removed and placed back. So I asked and they said they couldn't, even though I've told them that my friend got hers removed here. Still, it's a nice place.

I expected better communication, consistency, and respect as a patient. Unfortunately, I left feeling disappointed and would not return. Sadly, this office is not what it used to be, and I cannot recommend it based on my experience.

We went to a few orthodontic offices and were honestly surprised by how much we were being quoted for relatively minor treatment. When we met with Dr. Lee, he explained that for cases like ours, they can actually make clear aligners in-house instead of sending everything to a large company like Invisalign. He explained how advances in 3D printing allow them to print the models and make the aligners themselves at a much lower cost, and they pass much of those savings on to their patients. The price was very reasonable compared to the other quotes we received. We were also really impressed with Dr. Lee. He has an engineering background and seemed incredibly knowledgeable about the technology behind orthodontic treatment. Compared to some of the other offices we visited, everything at Life Orthodontics felt very modern and personalized, and he took the time to explain why this was a good option for us rather than trying to sell us on more treatment than we needed.
