I am so grateful for this amazing orthodontist. We are visiting and my daughter had an issue with her braces. The receptionist was so kind and got her a same day appointment. The dr took the time to explain the problem and went above and beyond to fix it for her. They were friendly and highly knowledgeable and competent. my daughter prefers this office to her own back home, but it may be a little far to come read more

Dr. Tan and her staff are so kind & make the experience very smooth. I completely trust Dr. Tan with my children's smile. We are very pleased with the treatment plan, attention to detail, clean & modern office, friendly staff, ease of scheduling, & of course results. read more

Great staff. State of the art facility with a kind, knowledgeable doctor. I wouldn't fly my son over from Kauai it's so good

My family had an initial consultation today with Dr. Tan. She is an amazing orthodontist and my family was so impressed with her professionalism, sincerity, and honesty. Office staff was very friendly and welcoming! Dr. Tan spent quality time with my family explaining our options and what's best for our kids! Thank you Dr. Tan! read more

So I just started my journey with my orthodontics about 2 months ago, this is my dentist's go to. But I will say from even this early date I know Doc knows is PASSIONATE about her patients' cases. I have a complicated case and she is so excited about my treatment plan, which is great because you know her passion for what she does. All the staff is amazing, from front desk to support staff, and they completely detail everything that is happening, from billing to actually what is about to happen and is happening in your mouth. read more

Dr. Tan should get a million stars! If I could give her them here I would. This review is long overdue.. Our teen son has had ongoing issues with OSA obstructive sleep apnea, Dr. Tan is very knowledgeable in OSA and we were so happy with her care throughout the process of expanding his palate and helping with his upper and lower jaw expansion. Our son doesn't love appointments to say the least and she and her staff were amazing with him! In Hawaii providers with the knowledge Dr. Tan has on OSA are extremely limited. I know she now shares space with Dr. Hsu who is very knowledgeable as well, so great to hear! We moved recently and our son transferred care in California and was able to get his braces off in California just yesterday. When thinking back to the big picture....We couldn't forget about Dr. Tan when we ended a big step of a long journey! Dr. Tan showed our son patience and kindness and made the palate expansion and braces process as easy as she could. Her staff is amazing as well! Mahalo nui loa Dr. Tan you are amazing! read more

Dr. Tan and staff are amazing! Our friends referred us to her after doing a few consultations with other Orthodontist for my oldest daughter. She is truly passionate and genuinely cares for her patients . Pricing is reasonable compared to other places and no long waits for visits. The office is super modern and clean which I love. My oldest is done with her braces treatment and we were very pleased with the results. Now my second daughter is starting her braces treatment. We highly recommend Dr. Tan and her staff! read more

I visited Oahu Orthodontics in 2021 with a permanent top retainer that had lost its adhesive and was poking me. The orthodontist worked with me to determine if this was still the best option, listening to my preferences. She re-glued it for a reasonable price. When it broke two more times within a month, she re-glued it each time at no additional charge. After the retainer failed a third time, I requested a VIVERA retainer. She handled this matter nicely and again at a VERY reasonable price. I was happy with the outcome. After three years, I called to request another one to be made and shipped to me. She was accommodating, nice, and professional. I wholeheartedly recommend her service and business for any Orthodontic needs. read more

UPDATE: Had my braces on in May 2015 and then removed 2 years and 5 months later in October 2017. I'm only updating my review now because I recently met with Dr. Tan (or actually with her assistant, Tiffany) about the retainers after 6 months of having my braces removed. I was a little overdue my expected treatment length (expected length was 19 months I believe), so that was about 10 months overdue!! Yikes. I know a major fact was because I haven't worn my rubberbands consistently. So... WEAR YOUR RUBBERBANDS when Dr. Tan tells you to! If you keep putting off things that you were told to do, you're just delaying your treatment and won't get your braces off any time soon. I guess I didn't care because I honestly liked having braces on. But now I get to see my new, beautiful smile! So straaaaaight. As for retainers, I wear them every night now, but it's crucial you wear it as long as you can during the first 6 months after your braces removal. I paid the entire ~$5500 myself, so I'd be damned if I mess that up and get crooked teeth again lol. I still wear my braces throughout the day just to be sure though. You can view a before and after photo of my teeth transition :D read more

Oahu Orthodontics - Lol couldn't find ANY other pics of my ugly teeth before having braces. Here are the results (before and after) - Orthodontists Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Dr. Tan is a godsend We are visiting from Los Angeles and my sons wire moved and was poking his cheek pretty badly... I went and got dental wax and it wasn't working, his orthodontist from LA suggested to try and push it back into place but that wasn't working and he said it was hurting him more so I started freaking out and went on yelp and found Dr. Tan I contacted Dr. Tans office on a Saturday night and she got back to me right away, and assured me that she could take care of it and got us in! She's seriously an angel! And truly cares about her patients even though she didn't even know us yet! It's so nice feeling that warm welcome in a place where we don't know anyone! Dr Tan IS AMAZING!!! read more

Dr. Tan and her team at Oahu Orthodontics are the best! Both our boys got their braces here. Although their journeys were very different because one had traditional metal, and the other had Invisalign, their experiences were both very positive and painless. Dr. Tan and her staff are very caring, patient and professional. If you are looking for an orthodontist look no further. read more

Dr. Tan and her staff are wonderful. I've had my Invisalign for over a year and a half. Beginning with the consult, Dr. Tan was very thorough in explaining my options. On every visit, I am welcomed into the office. Every staff member is respectful and nice. They explain what I need to do and I have been very happy with my progress. Really happy I went with Oahu Orthodontics. Thanks, Dr. Tan read more

For most of my childhood I wanted to be a dentist, so much so that today at 32 years of age, I have not had any cavities. I took great care of my teeth. My last dental visit was two years ago and the only reason I didn't keep up with my biannual visits was because I felt pressured consistently to get sealants on my molars. Did I need it? Probably not, but I every visit was a constant reminder that maybe I should get the operation done. Fast forward to today, and I took up a good friend's recommendation on Dr. Tan, and I couldn't be happier! I addressed my concerns from my previous dentist and she confirmed that I didn't need the sealant. Sure it's a great measure in future-proofing my molars, but not necessary right now. The equipment she uses felt top of the line. Even the fluoride procedure was unlike anything I have experienced. Simple, yet effective! Her facility was extremely clean too. Dr. Rosemarie Tan is an attentive, caring, and knowledgeable dentist. I already thanked my friend on the excellent recommendation, and I would share the same sentiment for everyone I know as well. read more

I made my first visit to Oahu Orthodontics and it was such a great experience! Once you enter, Kim greets you. Then, it wasn't too long till I got placed into a room to see Tiffany, who then took a few pictures and an X-ray of my teeth. After that, I got to meet Dr. Tan, she then explained my treatment and told me what my options were. They really work with you to make it affordable! The whole process took about an hour. I chose to go with Invisalign and I can't wait to get started! Just from my experience, I totally recommend. 5 stars! Update: One week later and I've already received my trays! Dr. Tan and Kim notified me to let me know they came in. Once I came in, Kim was already expecting me. Then, Dr. Tan and Tiffany proceeded to assist me. I got my attachments on and we all shared a funny moment together (the suction got stuck to my neck)! Dr. Tan and her staff are the best! They make you feel like you're part of the ohana! If I could give them 10 stars, I would! Thank you so much for assisting me with my journey to a dazzling smile! :) read more

I moved here for college and stopped by for a consultation and was in awe over the company. I have a bad history with orthodontists and dentists back in Washington and was pleasantly surprised with Oahu Orthodontics. Not only was our hygienist so nice and outgoing, but the doctor was insanely helpful and kind to us. She explained everything in so much detail and listened to us. Having had a crappy ortho prior, I was so relieved to actually be told what the plan was and why, let alone understand everything she was telling us. I have never felt so welcomed by any kind of doctor like this before and I am so glad that I chose to begin my ortho journey here! This is all just based off first impression too, during our first meeting. So that's saying something! read more

From the very first day we met Dr. Tan and her exceptional team we knew we had found OUR orthodontist for our eldest daughter. Two years later our youngest daughter now is following suit with her sister. Need we go any further.... when we have the BEST Orthodontist ever....Dr. Tan!!! From a parents' perspective, this task in finding an orthodontist that you can trust and feel 100% comfortable with can be daunting! Well, for this very reason, this is WHY we want to share our review with other parents....We were where you are two years ago!! First and foremost, Dr. Tan and Ms. Tiffiany aim to please, accommodate, educate and work with us busy parents.... Ms. Kim, in front, helps streamline the logistics and assists in making the following appointments for your child with ease and patience:)!!! Thank you!! I can easily continue to praise and give kudos to Oahu Orthodontics.... but, I feel you all get what we are saying here. Dr. Tan, mahalo nui loa for giving our daughters and us (parents) something to SMILE about:)!! read more

The office is located above Long's Drugs. Which can be extremely helpful if your child has to come here and you can get your groceries done at the same time. No crying baby or a rambunctious kid for you.. no sir. The office's waiting room has iPads for children or adults (ahem, me) to play while they wait. It's extremely clean and organized. There's also water bottles to quench your thirst. If its coffee that you fancy then you can always step into the Elite Endodontics office next door and get some. They have an understanding. I was recently there for the grand opening and got to see first hand all the new technology and equipment used in the office. Dr. Tan has all the newest and greatest in 3D imaging. She can get treatment started right away. The consultation room is spacious and offers a computer to show the patient how the treatment will be done. No need to look at paper printouts or any other nonsense. It is 2013 right? Dr. Tan is friendly and super easy to work with. She's very knowledgable and knows what she's doing. read more

After consulting with a couple of other orthodontists, we decided to go with Dr. Tan and I am happy that we did! We chose her because she was very thorough about my son's options. She took the time to explain the two types of treatment he could do and the pros/cons of each. Her prices were also very reasonable and the staff is great! Kim has been exceptionally helpful! My son is still undergoing tx, but it's only been 6 months and there is a considerable amount of change so far. Thanks Dr. Tan and staff!! read more

Been going to Dr. Tan for about 9 months now and it's been awesome! First time coming here and I was in awe. The office is so aesthetically pleasing. They provide IPads in the waiting room area to keep kids/adults occupied and they have movies playing on their TV if the IPads are not enough. I've actually gotten a consultation for braces from a different Orthodontist a few years back and didn't feel comfortable. Last year, I felt like I wanted to give it a try again and see another Orthodontist. Dr. Tan was recommended by my Dentist at Kaimuki Dental. Oahu Orthodontics is located in the same building as my dentist so I figure why not go check it out. The consultation was free so I figure, why not. Dr. Tan is very easy to talk to and I felt very comfortable with what her plans were for my teeth. I decided to go for it! I went for the clear braces on the top and metal braces on the bottom. Every month I go in and get to choose what color I want to change the bands on my bottom braces. I usually go with a holiday/special occasion that's happening that month. For example red and green for Christmas! Located in the building above Longs Drugs off of Waialae Ave. Plenty of parking. You all know that braces can be expensive, but don't worry, they offer a payment plan! I would definitely recommend Oahu Orthodontics if you are considering braces. read more

Dr. Tan and Staff are AMAZING! Very informative and understanding of each family's situation. We are on the hunt for an Orthodontist for our 13 year old daughter. We were referred to Dr. Tan by 2 of our friends and I'm so glad we came for a consultation. We went to another Orthodontist (who was also amazing), but they were pretty strict on their payment policy. I needed options! I for one cannot afford to just drop $6K on a dime. So, I am greatly appreciative for Oahu Orthodontist and their 3 different payment plans that they offered us. It gives family's like ours the ability to give our children the smile they deserve without breaking our bank all at one time. We are excited that my daughter has her appointment scheduled to put her braces on in January 2020. Thank you again Dr. Tan and Staff for everything and I look forward to seeing you soon. read more

Dr. Tan. Tiffany. Kim... Are an amazing team. My appointment was scheduled for Jan 20 @ 2p. I was running late due to traffic on the freeway and also because I got lost trying to find them. Lol so I called them to let them know. Kim was very understanding and kind! Once I entered, the staff were friendly as ever. I got assisted right away after presenting my I.D. to Kim. : ) Tiffany helped me. She's so sweet and gentle. For someone who hasn't visited the dentist in forever, she made me feel so comfortable and unashamed of the condition of my teeth. She had done an exam & an x-ray. My visit was to inquire about braces - & I was able to see a before and after of my teeth. It was amazing. She was so reassuring and always making sure I was comfortable in every aspect during my visit. Once Tiffany was done w the exam and X-rays, she had me sit in the exam room for Dr. Tan. Let me say: Dr. Tan is AMAZING! she's so informative, sweet, and gentle. I can't even put into words how safe and comfortable I felt here. My dentist visits and just everything to do w teeth in general were horrible. But, Dr. Tan puts your fears at ease. She told me what I needed to do before she could start the process of braces. She was NEVER pushy and she even wrote out the steps for me and referred me to a trusted dentist for cleaning and cavities filling. Kim printed out the monthly plan and payment options for the braces. And WOW. The prices are so affordable! 500 deposit fee. 227.14/month for 20 months. And this is without insurance. ALSO, she offers traditional braces or ceramic braces with no cost difference for you! Most places would charge extra for ceramic, but not Dr. Tan. Mind you, this was only for a consultation. (FREE OF CHARGE)!! But I was treated with such genuine hospitality and customer service, that I would recommend her to everyone and anyone! The prices are beyond affordable and they treat you with such care and make you feel so comfortable. I also admire the fact that they give you their own personal experience about dentists when they were younger, so it makes you feel less terrified of your own. Lol The staff, the atmosphere, & the place itself is definitely top notch! I can't believe they even exist. : ) 100/10 totally recommend. ---I'll follow up on this review once I start my procedure w Dr. Tan. : ) read more

very nice service.nice place. And very clean. hope i got a very good effect，and satisfied。 read more

We LOVE O'ahu Orthodontics! We interviewed 4 other different Orthodontists on island, and knew that Dr Tan was our girl. She's professional, friendly, and all around amazing. Both my teen daughters had traditional metal braces with her, and were done in 1.5 years. Our experience with Dr Tan and the entire team at O'ahu Orthodontics was very positive. Many Mahalos! read more

Had a good initial consult. She seemed to not rush me and answer all my questions. Then a few months later when I tried contacting her/them about my questions and wanting an in person consult I felt my questions were being ignored and was told to see someone on Maui even though I stated I already made the decision to see someone on Oahu. I tried calling to get to talk to the Dr because I felt there was miscommunication but she never called me back or emailed back again. Really disappointed. Not very professional. read more

I had a great experience with Dr. Tan and her team. I decided to get braces after not being pleased with my results from a previous ortho treatment years prior. As a military member I had to travel frequently and I had a strict timeline as I was leaving island permanently sooner than expected. Dr. Tan was extremely flexible with accommodating my needs and she and her team sought frequent feedback to make sure I was getting the result I wanted. They even gave me a copy of my molds so that I can make another retainer should I ever lose my current one. I recommended a friend halfway through my treatment and he had a great experience as well. You can't go wrong choosing Oahu Orthodontics. read more

Oahu Orthodontics had an excellent variety of different options at very competitive prices to suit my needs. Dr. Tan was well versed in the pros and cons of the different products and procedures and helped me make the best choice for me. Additionally the facility was equipped with cutting edge technology making my impressions a breeze. I would highly recommend Oahu Orthodontics. read more

Dr. Tan is AMAZING ! I absolutely love her. I went to her in tears because I had moved to Hawaii for college and couldn't find an orthodontist at a reasonable price. I went a year without treatment until I found her office. Her and her entire staff were so kind and she was flexible with me in regards to my down payment. I appreciate her so much. I've never met a doctor who cares so much about her patients. She is patient, genuine, personable and honestly just a GOOD PERSON! It's been 3 years since I had my braces removed and I still love my smile so much. THANK YOU THANK THANK YOU DR. TAN read more

Oahu Orthodontics - Orthodontists Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I don't feel welcome, warmth or receive any friendly demeanor from Dr. Tan which I find very weird. My child goes there but she never says one word to me which I find strange because I see her speak to some dads that go there. She even comes into the waiting area to speak to some. I guess only some people are worth her time. Her receptionist is professional, friendly and a great asset to her cold office. Very lucky to have some warmth in the frigid office. I guess as long as she can fix my child's teeth I should be happy. read more

I just got to the business and it is very new has everything I need I think this is the perfect fit for me. Dr. Tan is very concerned about the patients best interest and will not give a bad treatment plan. She wants the best for her patients and is very thorough in her explanations. Out of all the Orthodontists I have been too so far she seems to be the best choice. read more

Talk about state of the art office! I walked in for my appointment with Dr. Tan and was quickly greeted by Laura, the receptionist. Because I was a brand spankin NEW patient, (no spanking included) I was expecting that long annoying form you have to fill out...boy was I pleasantly surprised. Instead, Laura, Dr. Tan's assistant, directed me to their waiting area where I was given an IPad instead of actual paper! Yes...you heard right...they have gone green in this office! Although the process on the IPad was the same questionnaire as it would be on paper, it felt like i filled it out a lot faster! (You can do this ahead of time by going to their website if you want) When I was done, i clicked on the submit button and just like that, they had my information. I waited about 5 minutes after filling out the electronic form before being called to see Dr. Tan. While waiting...you can watch a movie or something on the flat screen television OR do as I did and play on the IPad...(which had angry birds on it). At this point I was hoping they would take a while like at other offices... I wanted to pass the level on angry birds. Once taken to the examination room, I was seated on the chair which had a great view of the mountain tops in the horizon. She gave me a swanky pair of shades to help with the examination light and explained what was going to be done every step of the way. Once she was done, Dr Tan asked that I return for additional work. (Sweet! I get to play angry birds!) She made me feel comfortable, and explained everything I was to expect on my next visit to her cool state of the art office. Before leaving, I caught a glimpse of her credentials on the wall....talk about a very accomplished individual! Now, the Breakdown: *New Patient Registration- Easy, quick, paperless and you get to play with IPads while you wait to be called! Very Friendly staff! *Examination- Thorough explanation on what is to be expected, makes you feel at ease and you get a good view of Oahu. *Establishment-The outside of this building is definitely deceiving...Once you walk in through the door...high tech in your face! State of the art everything. Everything Looks NEW, super clean and did I mention everything is high tech!? *Dr. Rosemarie Tan- Friendly, professional, accomplished and definitely makes you feel calm if you are nervous about seeing a Dentist/Orthodontist. For the great service, friendly staff and cool office! 5 STARS! read more

I don't tend to get nervous much, hell, put me in front of a crowd and I could hold my own, but going to the dentist? Yipes! I moved to Oahu in Jan last year from Mountain View, yes, Google Headquarters - everything was hi-tech up in that B. Our offices, our grocery stores, our BART/Public transport - everything was awesome. Miss that. I was in a world of surprise when I walked into Oahu Orthodontics and saw that this office was decked out with the latest technology, even more so than any dental office I've ever been in! Why is technology important? By seeing that they were up n up on the technology, it made me feel as if they were in tune with all the latest and greatest advances in dentistry - you know what, my hunch was right. Dr. Tan asked me to fill out my medical history/new patient paperwork. I waited patiently for the paperwork but it turns out she was directing me to the iPad stations in the lobby! Woohoo for going green! I love it. When Dr. Tan called me in to the back I admitted to her that I was quite nervous/apprehensive. She said not to worry and explained that she was just taking a look and let me know what she saw. I loved that she was thorough in her explanations and took the time to explain what the short term and long term "situations" were. I left today's appointment feeling totally confident that I have found an awesome dentist who not only knows her stuff, but also cares about me and my health. Thank you Dr. Tan! read more

My Son needed his second set of braces because his first set was put in and removed by Dr. Gerald Kim. At the time, they were necessary in order to help his teeth erupt correctly. That was done about 2.5 years ago (I don't remember exactly) and we were advised that when he was 12, he would need a second set. Went to Dr. Gerald Kim for a second estimate and was told that we were extended a $1400 discount because my Son was a returning patient. It took us about 7 months in order to save the cash needed to pay for my Son's braces up front. When we called to schedule an appointment with Dr. Kim, we were told that the quote was no longer valid and that the price would increase by $300. so I called Oahu Orthodontics. We were able to get in for an appointment within a week. While explaining the situation Laura who runs the front office at Oahu Orthodontics, she was empathetic and patient. I'm SOOOO glad we found this place!!!! Dr. Tan was very detailed and really knows what she's doing! She explained the reason(s) why she preferred a conservative approach to pulling teeth. After learning of the reasons, I was concerned by the fact that Dr. Gerald Kim had never even offered that as an option for my Son. She was able to spare the pulling of 4 of my Son's teeth (which Dr. Kim said would be required). In addition to being genuinely concerned about sparing my Son's teeth she saved us nearly $1000. (based on clear braces). It boggles my mind that Dr. Kim says he extended us a $1400 discount yet we come to Oahu Orthodontics and my Son is able to get clear braces for nearly $1000 less! Anyway, thank goodness we explored our options. No upcharge for clear braces, conservative approach to pulling teeth, free Sonicare electronic toothbrush with each set of braces (those things are awesome!), genuine concern for our circumstances, fair pricing, professional staff, convenient location with easy parking, clean and cozy facility, easy-to-book appointments, I'm sold! Thank you Dr. Tan and Laura, we couldn't be more pleased!!! read more

Couldn't be happier! Dr. Tan is amazing, very knowledgeable, friendly, and best of all, caring. In just a little over 2 years, she closed my hard-to-treat open-bite and straightened my teeth, transforming my smile for the better, improving my bite and my confidence. Her prices are very reasonable compared to most on the island. Her office has a nice atmosphere and her staff was great as well. I would definitely recommend her for all ages and cases. You won't be disappointed. read more

Very friendly and professional. I went in for my first visit to have a permanent retainer removed. Dr. Rosemarie was very gentle and removed it with no pain. They then made a clear retainer for me the same day. Her assistant was really sweet and provided a lot of information about the process. I would defiantly recommend them to everyone who needs dental work. I'm looking forward to my check up. read more

Once again best service I've ever had in a dental office! I was greeted so very friendly from Laura when I walked through the door! Dr. Tan immediately sat me in one of the treatment chairs and got to working on my teeth and what would work best for me. I just needed to straighten my front teeth out, keep in mind I've never had any type of retainer or braces before. She explained what every piece of the braces is and what it does. She gave me a mirror so I could watch the entire process. In my mind I always imagined getting braces would be a 3 hour long process of pain. Mine were put on and I was out of there in less than 45 min(including the cleaning before)! Crazy Amazing! I'm so excited for my smile to be straight! read more
