    Enjoyed coming every month to get my teeth right. Highly recommend. Staff was always so pleasant. Always get compliments on my smile. Dr. Lee is the man!

    I have taken both of my boys to Dr. Lee's Orthodontics & it has been nothing but a pleasurable experience. The office is clean, the staff is kind, the dental techs are quick and Dr. Lee is great at what he does! I believe his prices are fair and I would recommend coming here if you are looking for orthodontic treatment.

    BEFORE: not straight, cross-bite, embarrassing to smile.

    I really don't like giving reviews except when it's so outstanding that I must share. Dr. Lee has been nothing but professional and great to work with. For those who don't care to read my case underneath, here's a shorter version. TL:DR VERSION: 1. He's an amazing orthodontist and always made sure I understood the entire process. 2. Great and relatable family man. 3. His staff was so warm and welcoming each time, from the front to the back staff. 4. His results met and even exceeded my expectations (look at my before and after). 5. Prices were very reasonable (I can't trust too cheap lol) and he is very accommodating when it came to broken brackets or wires. 6. I always recommend him to friends who are interested, with a couple who are now his clients. 7. Will bring my kids here for sure. 8. He still checks up on me periodically to see how my teeth is doing and I love that genuinely. THE LONG VERSION: Prior to having David as my doctor, I had consultations with 3 other doctors. One said I needed jaw reconstruction, others were ridiculously priced. So when I met David through a friend referral who also had great results, I was surprised to find out he was able to help my special cross-bite case and for a reasonably decent price too! When I scheduled an appt to see him, I came to realize that it was only him there, so I was glad that he made time to see me even on his day off. He was very warm and inviting. After analyzing my situation he was truthful and told me that though my case was difficult, if I trust him, he would not only straighten my teeth but also fix my cross-bite. So I trusted him. He had asked me what rates I've been quoted and not only did he beat them , he even gave me a discount on the clear brackets so I wouldn't be walking around with a metal grill at the age of 34 lol. Prior to my first appt with him, he addressed to me that I had a few cavities to take care of with my primary dentist as well as a cleaning as it would be the best thing to do before having my brackets be put on. He fully explained the whole entire process and with each visit, explained to me what was going on with my specific case. Eg. One week he would tell me I would need a thicker band to help with the shifting, another he would tell me to wear bands in certain locations because it would begin the cross-bite alignment, etc. I was never in the dark and always knew the reasoning for each visit. I must say, not only was he a great personable doctor, but his staff made me feel like family, no joke. I knew their names, they knew mine, we talked about our families, and they always remembered my conversation from the previous visits! David, if you're reading this, please know that I loved your staff and they always made it pleasurable to come in even though it was always busy. They all deserve a raise! Lol. I work a regular 9-5 and I live in LA so I could only see him on the weekends. But without hesitation, there were many times where my brackets broke, and he was very understanding and came in on off days/hours to see me! I really appreciated that, it showed me he cared about his patient's well-being. Overall, in due time, I saw very pleasing results. I have always wanted braces since I was in HS but too poor to afford them. It really shunted my self-esteem and I'm so glad I found such a great doctor as himself to give me so much more confidence. Before I was very reluctant to smile or even laugh, but now, I laugh and smile so much that girls always compliment my nice perfect smile (with no cross-bite). Thank you Dr. Lee, I can't wait to have kids and bring them to you. You are like family. But for now, I'll just bring up your name whenever anyone asks for an amazing orthodontist. TYVM.

What drew me here first and foremost on top of all the referrals when I've asked around who, locally, would be a great pick to help me achieve my vision in a beautiful set of teeth and a more beautiful smile, I've heard Dr. Douglas' name thrown around quite a bit by locals AND professionals alike. In education and learning, they say if you can teach something, or reiterate it, you definitely know the material and what you're doing. Dr. Douglas is the prime example of this; he was an avid educator, mentor, and speaker for the top schools here, and put the future of orthodontics in great hands, rest assured. Every single office visit I've been to, over the past years has been very comfortable and professional. I really love the communicative staff, as they let me know everything that is going on, as well as answering all my questions with great concern and empathy during my visits/appointments. I highly recommend coming here for your braces. At the very least, come to a consult and bring forth your question and concerns. You will see why it is the best choice once you do.

    Wow, just wow. I'm not sure where to start!!…read more If you're looking for an orthodontist who truly cares about your comfort and experience, look no further! I can't thank Dr. Douglas, Dr. Truong, and orthodontic assistant Isabel enough for making my braces journey so smooth. Everytime I come into the office, furniture & bathroom are spotless! Once you come inside to the office directly the orthodontic assistants always greet me! Even the other ones that aren't helping me with my braces tightening. When the big day finally came to get my braces off, Isabel made the entire process so easy and comfortable--I was honestly shocked at how quick and painless it was! She was super friendly and made sure I felt at ease the whole time. Dr. Douglas and Dr. Truong have been amazing throughout my entire treatment, always taking the time to answer my questions and ensure everything was going perfectly. I first got my braces in 2019 before the pandemic happened, so it's been almost a good 4.5 years. Make sure to wear your rubber bands because I almost never did! Now, my smile looks incredible, and I couldn't be happier with the results! If you're thinking about getting braces or any orthodontic treatment, I highly recommend coming here. The entire team is professional, kind, and truly cares about their patients. Five stars all the way! It was so worth the wait and NEVER regretting picking this place for my crooked teeth needs!

Sometimes, I would have questions but I wouldn't be able to ask them because he would rush. He was also pushy about wanting to cut my gums. After I told him very clearly that I didn't want that, he repeatedly asked me why and told me that it would be prettier even though I repeatedly told him that I didn't want that. The doctor told my parent about how he wanted to cut my gums and what the cost would be, even though I was already an adult at that time. I was the patient, my parent was not the patient, and I was also an adult, so he should not have discussed this with my parent. Additionally, there was a gap between two of my teeth, and one of the employees there pulled those two teeth together within a couple seconds rather than letting the gap between my teeth gradually close. I am not sure if this is normal practice or not, but it was very painful, and I wasn't aware that she was going to pull my teeth together like that. When I told my dentist about this, my dentist was very shocked.

    I have been eagerly anticipating the moment to share my transformative experience with Dr. Vu, and…read morenow that I've witnessed a remarkable change in my smile, I feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude for her unparalleled expertise. Dr. Vu is an extraordinary orthodontist who dedicates her time to truly listen to her patients' concerns and offers thoughtful, tailored advice. This collaborative approach creates a nurturing environment, enabling the development of a personalized treatment plan that directly addresses individual needs. Initially, my primary concern was the noticeable lack of symmetry in my teeth, which undermined both my appearance and confidence. I had undergone orthodontic treatment with another orthodontist previously, but I felt like my smile wasn't truly my own. When I raised concerns about the asymmetry of my teeth, my former orthodontist dismissed my worries, assuring me that my teeth were properly aligned and that no further adjustments were necessary. As someone without expertise in the field, I took her word for it, even though I was not satisfied with my smile. To add to my frustration, I faced a setback when my retainers were delayed due to scheduling conflicts, causing my teeth to revert to their original position prior to braces. As four years passed by, my dissatisfaction with my smile only grew, prompting me to consider re-treatment, where I discovered Dr. Vu. The glowing reviews on Yelp impressed me, so I made an appointment to see her. During my initial visit with Dr. Vu, I sought a consultation driven by my dissatisfaction with my smile. Upon arriving at her office, I was warmly welcomed by the patient coordinator and orthodontic assistants, whose friendliness immediately set a positive tone. Everyone in the office radiated genuine kindness, making it easy for me to communicate my concerns. One of the aspects that initially attracted me to this practice was its proximity to my school, which made scheduling appointments convenient. Additionally, the soothing decor of the Garden Grove location captivated me; the vibrant colors and inviting atmosphere create a calming environment, and the office itself is impeccably clean and well-organized. Thankfully, I received fantastic news that my insurance company approved coverage for a portion of the braces expenses, which was a tremendous relief. This development allowed me to manage my payments conveniently through my Health Savings Account (HSA), making the financial aspect of this journey far more manageable. Regarding my treatment, I had lingering concerns about my gummy smile. Dr. Vu thoughtfully explained how she could address this issue through mechanical manipulation, a novel approach I had not encountered before. Intrigued, I was eager to explore this option, especially since I was not inclined to pursue Botox as a solution. This comprehensive and considerate approach to orthodontics left me feeling optimistic and excited about my journey ahead. Now that I have my braces off, I notice a drastic difference in my overall smile and appearance, especially with my gums. I literally cannot stop smiling and laughing. Thank you so much, Dr. Vu and the Bloom Smiles team! You have made such a significant difference in my confidence, and I can't thank you enough!
