I wanted to give a review for my full Invisalign experience. Side Note:I did not need much work done in my mouth because my teeth weren't very bad. I just had a lot of gaps at the bottom and the top, and I had one tooth in particular was turned out. Dr. Oh first went over the pro's and con's to braces vs. Invisalign. I personally wanted the Invisalign, but the cost is always something you'll need to factor. Cost: My cost was $5,400 for Invisalign-- I believe $4,600 for braces. If you do Invisalign you will have to pay upfront, I paided $1,500. I also make $100 payments a month. I do have insurance it may make a difference for you. First days: In the beginning you feel like you talk with a lisp. That's normal and may take a month to go away, but hang in there, it will. Trays: -You wear a tray for 2 weeks before moving to the next. -You wear them all day 22 hours minimum. (Not wearing trays for 20 sum hours may result in needing more tray or slowing the process down). -Yes, you sleep with them in your mouth. -You don't eat with them--but I drink all cold drink with them, which they might tell you is a no-no. The only thing I won't drink is hot drinks may melt the trays and anything that's red might stain them like cranberry juice. Buttons: Buttons feel weird and defiantly takes getting use to with the trays. They can irritate the inside of your mouth if you keep your tray off too long. Good reminder to put your trays back in. Rubberbands: Rubber bands have been my biggest struggle in this whole process. I've had gotten massive mouth irritations due to the rubber-bands rubbing. I did bring this issue up to them as to which they did switch the bands to non-latex. Great--they did help with the irritants but they break get hour or so, no joke it's frustrating. When I went back the next time I told them I was still having issues, they actually have thick non-latex rubber bands (don't be afraid to speak up and tell them when things are working, most likely your not the first to run across that problem). No one gave me a tip or advice for putting in rubber bands quickly so I came up with my own way--hopefully, this helps. Here a little tip for putting in rubber bands in 5 secs (no need for mirrors): 1. Before you put in the bottom tray in your mouth--place rubber bands on hooks (towards the back of tray). 2. Once rubber bands are in hooks--usually, they'll stay in place but I always pull on the rubber bands in opposite direction when placing trays on bottom teeth. 3. Put in top tray 4. Take the loose part of the rubber band and pull towards front hook--hook band on upper hook (repeat on the other side). You should be good to go in seconds after that. : ) Personal Pro's and Con's of Invisalign: Pro: -People truly don't know you have them on. -You can take them off and see results on a daily basis. -You can get you teeth clean regularly not just at the dentist but you can brush normal. -When you first start wearing tray depending on what you're trying to achieve they may instantly make your teeth look straight and or the gaps look closed. Cons: -When your eating in public it's awkward to remove them in front of everyone--you'll learn to take them off in the bathroom or take them off in the car before you get to your destination. -When you first put them the first couple day your mouth will hurt and don't even think about eating anything that requires hardcore chewing or biting. (Take a Tylenol or something ahead of time it might help). -Once you see results that you're conformable with its harder to want to wear your trays because you like your smile and you want to rock it. (Could be considered a pro). -Rubber bands Okay so I'm done with my Invisalign and to say the least, it's been an experience. At the final stage of my treatment I got rock a metal retainer. At first, when talking it gives you flashbacks of your first day with Invisalign, can't speak clearly (getting use to a foreign thing in your mouth). I had to wear consistently for 3-4 months: Remember every person is different. I knew myself well enough to know I could handle Invisalign and opted for that. To this day, it's been the best decision I've made. It's been years now since I've stop using Invisalign. I had a permeant retainer removed from my bottom teeth and opted for another removable nightly worn retainer. (Retainers cost about $250 give or take with no insurance). Overall, I've had my battles but I would do again exactly if given the choice. This office is very high tech and they seem to always being advancing with technology--getting a retainer this time was just a scan in the mouth (no more drooling on the staff with impressions). I highly recommend this office and the Dr.'s in it. read more

Curry & Oh Orthodontics - Before and After - Orthodontists Near Me - Northridge, California

I cannot speak highly enough of the team at Curry & Oh Orthodontics. Finding the right orthodontist for my four kids including my son who has special needs, was a concern for our family. From our very first visit the level of compassion, expertise, and personalized care they provided was truly exceptional. The entire staff were incredibly patient and welcoming. If you are looking for an orthodontist, look no further. They are simply the best. read more

I cannot recommend this office enough. Dr Oh is fantastic; from consultation to the day I received my final retainers, his care and attention made my experience so easy. Some appointments did not require Dr Oh and I was helped by many other lovely team members that provided that same standard of care. After multiple consultations with other orthodontists, I am so thankful to have come across Curry and Oh. They're the best you can get! read more

I love this place! I got my braces done when I was a girl and now I'm taking my kids there as well. They have a huge staff and every single one of them are sweet kind nice and knowledgeable. I absolutely love this place read more

My family and I have been coming here for many, many years. I got braces from here when I was in middle school. I hated them, of course, but it did got the job done. But when the braces came off, of course, I didn't wear my retainer. So what happened? My teeth shifted. A few years ago, I decided to get Invisalign. I only needed them for a year, and my teeth are back to being perfect! I do prefer Dr. Curry over Dr.Oh just because Dr. Curry has been there since my braces journey started. She is so kind and gentle, which is because of her, I brought my daughter here. Dr. Oh is kind, but he seems to rush up the appointments, and he's just not comforting like Dr. Curry. Also, the staff is always so sweet! I love how professional they all look in their scrubs and how clean and sharp they all look. The actual office is also always clean, organized, and up to date. I highly recommend this place if you are thinking about getting your teeth straight! read more

Curry & Oh Orthodontics - Entrance - Orthodontists Near Me - Northridge, California

I started my Invisalign journey with Dr. Oh back in 2017, and I was denied and told my several orthodontists prior to him that my teeth would not take to Invisalign due to the crowding I had and my over bite. It was a huuuge point of insecurity for the majority of my life that I thought I would just have to accept, but after meeting Dr. Oh, he started me on Invisalign and was optimistic that it would take. While my treatment was a bit long due to my case, my teeth are amazing now, and he still sees my teeth when I occasionally come in with paranoia that they have shifted. But the office team, techs, and both Dr. Oh and Dr. Curry are amazing and passionate about what they do. He's honest about the treatments and the office offered no interest financing for me for my treatment. I highly recommend going to them for your Invisalign treatment and you will always be taken care of! read more

I began bringing my son here when he was thirteen. We were referred by his dentist. He's eighteen now and has had his braces off for three years. Dr. Curry was his orthodontist. While this place did effectively close up the spacing between most of his teeth, he developed a space between his front teeth and an uneven jaw. When pointing out the problems during follow up visits, we were told he should just wear his retainer. The retainer did nothing to fix these problems. We were never shown a final mold after his treatment, either, which is standard and shows the "before and after" when compared to the original mold (maybe to hide their botched job??) To fix these issues, he'll probably need surgery and maybe even another round of braces. I only saw Dr. Curry during the initial consultation and it didn't seem that an actual orthodontist is involved with ongoing adjustments. Most of the work is being left up the assistants. Also the woman that handled the billing was difficult to deal with because she would make a verbal arrangement for payment and not write it down. Very frustrating. Orthodontic work is expensive and not covered well under most plans. I would suggest that you take care to not just go off a referral like we did, rather to find an orthodontist that's involved, takes the time to do the work right and gives attention to their patients as needed. read more

All my children, my wife, and I all got our teeth straightened and I couldn't have been happier. Great place.

PS: This place is open during the pandemic and is VERY on top of COVID safety. I came here about 10 years ago to get braces and they did an absolutely fabulous job! I haven't lived in LA since I was in high school, but just recently moved back and needed to get my permanent bottom retainer fixed. I live about 30~ mins away and still decided to come here as they've always done such a wonderful job. They still had all my files, mainly the same wonderful staff, and were able to help me so quickly and safely. read more

Dr. Oh was recommended to us and we couldn't be happier. My 11 year old daughter went in for a consult and within a week Dr. Oh had a plan in place. We chose to go with Invisalign and have been happy with the quick results. I too needed Orthodontic help and needed a retainer, I was squeezed in to see Dr. Curry that day and she made quick work of my situation and I had one within a week as well. The office staff is so friendly and helpful. I highly recommend both doctors for all your orthodontic needs. Now the reason I decided to write a review. Today I received a phone call from Dr. Oh to inform me that he dropped off my daughters next 8 weeks of Invisalign's in our mailbox so we didn't need to come in. Thank you Dr. Oh for going above and beyond and making house calls in these crazy times. This mommy totally appreciates you going the extra mile. read more

Dr. Dandona put my braces on and after he retired, Dr. Oh and Dr. Curry took over. When my braces came off, my teeth kept moving despite me wearing my retainers every day. I asked Dr. Oh if he could help fix my teeth which are now far from straight. The answer was no. And I would have accepted a "no" answer from him if he had the courage to say it to my face. Instead he lead me to believe that my retainer would help pull down my impacted K9 tooth -- a tooth that started giving me a great deal of discomfort. It never did. I wore my retainer 24/7 for several months thinking that it would help pull down that tooth. Again, it never did. When I went in for my next appointment, I asked him if he thought my tooth was making any progress and he said my retainer would not pull down that tooth. You see, I was a "special" case and Dr. Oh said I should just get used to my teeth being the way they were. This pissed me off a great deal. I endured braces 10 years, on and off, and now I was being jerked around by a man who couldn't lift a finger to get me across the finish line. I went to an oral surgeon because I believed nothing could be done orthodontically and I discovered that my K9 tooth was dying a.k.a internal resorption -- something that Dr. Oh was too careless to identify. I explained my plight to my oral surgeon and he put me in contact with a world class orthodontist that I highly recommend by the name of Dr. Audrey Yoon. She's the best. Don't believe me? Ask Dr. Oh yourself. Roll the dice with Dr. Oh and you might walk away with a great smile, but I didn't. Getting braces is a big investment of time and money. If I could do it all over again, I would go with Dr. Audrey Yoon. She's more up-to-date on her craft and clearly more knowledgeable than Dr. Oh. read more

Last time I was there was 2001. It was like walking down memory lane. Front office staff is still warm and pleasant. The reason or my visit was, I had a new crown put in by my dentist. My retainer no longer fit, he told me I needed a new one. Saw Dr. Pollack, he was super nice. Told me my retainer just need to be adjusted. I was so stoked!! He saved me 200$. I will be sending my kids here, in the future. "Thanks Dr.Pollack!" read more

Love love love these Dr's and every associate is awesome!! Everyone here is ALWAYS in a good mood!! Highly recommend!

Dr. Oh is helping me with invisalign braces currently and my experience so far has been professional, knowledgeable, and (may I say) even relaxing! The staff are always there to greet you with a smile (Melissa is a sweetheart) and the office has a bunch of kid-friendly perks like stickers and cookies. After a botched braces attempt as a kid (wisdom teeth came AFTER the braces were supposedly done), I've always wanted to get them fixed again, but didn't want to go through the ordeal of wearing braces again. After checking with a couple of offices (some a bit scary, I had dentists telling me that they would have to pull more teeth out to make room... EEK), Dr. Oh promised that I wouldn't have to do anything before using invisalign. About six months in, I can already notice how straight my teeth now look when I smile. :D read more

Dr. Oh is a consummate professional. My nephew goes there for Invisalign and he has only spoken great things about Dr. Oh. Their office is very nice and the staff very friendly.
