We were initially referred to SL Orthodontics over three years ago by our son's dentist because some of his teeth were not coming in well and they wanted us to consult an orthodontist. I fully expected to be told we needed braces for our son ASAP, however Dr. Huang had our business for life when he recommended waiting 12-18 months until a few more molars came in and we had a better sense of how our son's adult bite was developing. I appreciated his candor about waiting versus braces immediately and then likely having to do another round of orthodontics a few years later. He also provided a very balanced assessment of what type of braces to get, which I appreciated. Just about two years since he got braces, our graduates to a retainer today and I've been extremely happy with the process. Highly recommend. read more

I've had a really bad experience with this office. 2 weeks ago my retainer broke and I called to see if my insurance covered a new one. The lady at the office checked and said YES but that I needed to front $500 and I would be refunded. i went in and saw the Dr. he also confirmed my insurance would cover it, and I should just get the top and bottom. I did it, got the retainers that 2 assistants could NOT put in my mouth and even thought they were the wrong ones, And the Dr jammed them in and said they are great, my teeth were the problem. Anyway they called 2 days later to say the insurance denied the claim. I told them they had lied to me and swindled me out of my money. The office lady said that there is NOTHING that could be done and I can call Delta insurance and get more details. Well I didn't take that, I spoke to the Doctor who ASSURED me that they would file the claim again and he was sorry I was lied to..... well it's been 10 days and crickets. No refund, no claim has even been filed, my money was just kept .... Super shady office lesson of the day: don't front any money! read more

I highly recommend San Leandro Orthodontics to friends and family! Dr. Huang and his team are friendly, gentle, and most importantly, provide top notch service! I had my braces work done back in 2018 with removal in 2020 and I immediately followed up with my son going through the process. He just had his braces removed today. He and I are both happy with the results. I extend tremendous thanks and appreciation to San Leandro Orthodontics read more

Our second family member is done with her treatment and he is doing a follow up visit every 4 months to check on her retainers, so we are looking forward to seeing him soon as well to get treatment for our third family member with Dr.Huang!!!! read more

San Leandro Orthodontics - We're very happy with the results! We really recommend Dr.Huang! - Orthodontists Near Me - San Leandro, California

I cannot be more pleased with the results from my 2 years of treatment at San Leandro Orthodontics! When I started this journey, I honestly didn't know what to expect, but the results have exceeded everything I could have asked for. The team made the entire process so smooth and comfortable. Every visit felt easy -- appointments were well-organized, the staff was friendly and attentive, and they took the time to explain what was happening at each stage of treatment. Two years may sound like a long commitment, but looking at my smile now, it was absolutely worth it. If you're on the fence about starting orthodontic treatment, I can't recommend San Leandro Orthodontics enough. Thank you to the entire team for giving me a smile I'm proud of! read more

I am very happy with my teeth and the overall care I have received here with Dr. Huang and his team. From his lovely assistants to the front office ladies everyone is super friendly and accommodating. He was thorough with adjustments to my braces and pinpointed every imperfection until he had reached the goal ( which clearly was perfection.) I just had my braces removed, teeth polished, and DEEP CLEANED. My bite is perfect and my teeth are so straight they don't even feel like mine. If you want your teeth damn near perfect I highly recommend. read more

Dr. Huang and his team are the best! He is a great orthodontist, very professional and knowledgeable. His team is awesome, respectful and very friendly. I have had a great experience during my treatment and highly recommend him! read more

Dr. Huang and his staff were all super kind and professional!! I definitely recommend coming here!

Hands down the best orthodontist I've ever experienced. I had ortho treatment 4 times, the last 3 times it resulted in needing a correction to fix my bite or my alignment. This will be my last time because my bite and teeth had not felt this good for years. I wore a night guard for years and when I was done I no longer need to use one and I am able to chew on my back teeth again. My son also is getting treatment here and also happy with outcome. read more

Great service! If I wasn't satisfied with how my teeth were looking, Dr. Huang made sure to make whatever adjustment possible for me to achieve the smile that I had been looking for. I am pleased!!! read more

My dentist at Nice Teeth Dental referred me to San Leandro Orthodontist in 2023 for Invisalign. At the time, I could not bring myself to such commitment! So again in 2024, I met with Dr. Huang (after visiting a few others for second opinion) he was the only person I felt confident in helping me get my smile to where it needs to be. Mainly, because he wasn't selling me on unrealistic expectations and telling me what I wanted to hear! To add, he is as I remembered, patient, honest, kind and pretty funny too! He suggested I remove my wisdom teeth before starting which I did and fast forward 1 year later, I am finished (6 months earlier than expected)! Sure, it took some discipline but it is 10000% worth it! My smile is better than anything I could have imagined. The appointments were painless. His staff is amazing! He would say "Trust me, I would not do anything I wouldn't do for family" so I would echo that, just trust him. You will be happy you listened. I am so grateful his office is where I landed. Can't thank Dr. Huang and his team enough! read more

Dr. Huang and his staff are kind and professional. I appreciated the ability to set up a payment plan, as someone with no insurance coverage for braces, and there were no surprise charges once the plan was paid off (something I appreciated since my care took three years and I had paid off the plan after a year and a half.) read more

My 14 year old daughter just got her braces off and has completed her phase 2! Dr. Huang and his staff were so easy to work with and he is the nicest person. My daughter always felt comfortable in his care and I trusted his guidance completely. We had a wonderful experience and her teeth are beautiful!! read more

To update my previous review, my now-14 year old just completed her second phase of treatment and got her braces off. Dr. Huang continues to provide top expertise, and his team and office are still just as responsive and helpful as always. Glad to be done and so pleased with the results. read more

I had braces as a teenager but didn't wear my retainers consistently, so over the years, my bite relapsed. By my 30s, my bite had become so uneven that I could only comfortably chew on one side of my mouth, which caused more imbalance and discomfort. That's when I found Dr. Huang. From the very first consultation, I could tell Dr. Huang truly knew what he was talking about. He takes time to educate his patients, answering any questions or concerns with patience and care. His approach is incredibly detailed, and he makes sure you understand exactly what he's doing and why--which really helped me feel comfortable and informed throughout the process. The difference between my before and after photos is incredible--not just in appearance but in function too. My bite is now properly aligned, and I can chew on both sides comfortably for the first time in years. Not only did Dr. Huang help me regain a more functional and balanced bite, but I also noticed my lips are now more supported and my overall facial aesthetics have noticeably improved. I'm so grateful for the care I received--the entire team is kind, professional, and made every visit a pleasant experience. If you're considering orthodontic treatment, I can't recommend Dr. Huang enough. It's truly life-changing when you find someone who combines expertise with genuine care. read more

I have been doing treatment for three and a half years, and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience. My treatment involved two jaw surgeries, and Dr.Huang was so caring throughout the whole journey. He even helped me find the right surgeon and was patient and understanding when I decided to postpone my surgery. What stood out most was how much he truly cared about me as a patient, not just about the treatment plan. Every step of the way, I felt supported and listened to. Now that I'm finally done with treatment, I'm so happy with the results and so grateful to him. If you're looking for an orthodontist who takes the time, shows real patience, and genuinely cares, I can't recommend him enough. read more

Dr. John Huang were my kid's ortho many moons ago (2 kids, my daughter and son, now adults). I can't say enough good things about Dr. Huang. He is professional, compassionate, accomplished (Harvard), very skilled (thorough), and always made sure you were satisfied with your progress and how your teeth looked. He hooked me up when I was a broke mom trying to get my kid's teeth done. He does payment plans. I just finished my Invisalign treatment. I got a discount because I am a returning customer! I later learned Dr. Huang worked with my original ortho when I was a kid (Dr. Nelson & Meyer from Berkeley Orthodontics) and they did outreach dental/ortho work in underprivileged areas in Oakland. How amazing is that? Appointments and availability were seamless with his receptionist Angelica. I highly recommend Dr. Huang for your ortho needs read more

I went to see Dr. Huang following a very bad experience with a dentist. Dr. Huang listened patiently, provided candid advice with great care and assured me that he could correct the problem. I trusted his guidance and went into treatment which meant braces for a 55 years old woman. After more than a year, I had my braces removed last week. Dr Huang and his team were amazing at each visit. professional, kind and respectful of appointment times. Hats off to this amazing tea and mpouch gratitude!! read more

Dr. Huang did such a fabulous job over the last few years to get her teeth looking the way they do. It was a miracle believe me. The professionalism and the craftsmanship of Dr. Huang is second to none. In addition, the friendly and helpful staff that work alongside of Dr. Huang made the place an absolute pleasure to come to. Thank you everyone for a wonderful experience. read more

My son had braces with Dr. Huang in 2008 and we were very satisfied with the level of care and service. When it was time for myself to get adult braces and jaw care, there was only one choice for dental care, Dr. Huang and his team. My journey started with the patient and thorough care from San Leandro Orthodontics. They were very effecient, friendly, very flexible with appointments and fair/affordable with prices. Dr. Huang guided me from the planning of the care to getting the braces, through the surgery, the follow up check up till the present day of getting my braces off! What a journey and relief!!! All made easy by Dr. Huang and staff!!! Special mention to Karla R. for her awesome care and service throughout this journey. Words can't express my gratitude to the whole team!!! Thank you so much. I cannot refer them enough. I would give them 10 stars if possible. Sincerely, Arnold R read more

This review is to share our experience with this orthodontic practice. For background, my husband and I both had braces and Invisalign about five years ago on the Peninsula, so we are familiar with orthodontic treatment and what it entails. Because we were paying out of pocket, I invested significant time and effort into researching the right orthodontist for our daughter. I felt it was important to make an informed decision and choose a provider who met the highest professional standards. I also have a professional (legal) background working with medical providers, so I was particularly impressed to learn that Dr. John Huang, the founder of San Leandro Orthodontics, is Board Certified and has more than 26 years of experience in the field--on top of the more than 10 years of education and training required to become a dentist, orthodontist, and board-certified specialist. Dr. Huang also holds a Doctorate in Oral Biology from Harvard University, which focuses on the biological mechanisms of tooth movement, growth and development, and bone metabolism. This level of expertise gave us great confidence in the care our daughter is receiving. When treatment began, we had several consultations with Dr. Huang due to the complexity of my daughter's case. Throughout the process, Dr. Huang's bedside manner was consistently top-notch, and we always felt informed, supported, and confident in his care. We are very satisfied with the results and attention to detail even after the braces have come off. We have regular follow-up visits and Dr. Huang is very keen on making sure our daughter is wearing the retainers and I am just so glad we came to this office. The level of attention is beyond anything I expected. I would give this practice more than five stars in all the areas that matter most to me: * Doctor/Orthodontist: * Cleanliness: * Staff (friendliness and professionalism): * Location: * Convenient and flexible appointments with reminders: read more

There's a reason San Leandro Orthodontist has nothing but 5 star reviews . The staff is extremely efficient and Dr Haung is a perfectionist. Would love to bring my son here one day when he is due for braces. read more

Went to Dr. Huang to correct misaligned teeth for both my top and bottom teeth -- which were affecting my bite and pushing other teeth into misalignment. Was on Invisalign for a little over a year, and today I am finished with a mouth full of straight looking teeth! Dr. Huang is extremely experienced, professional and personable. He manages a very efficient and effective office; all of his assistants are well trained and skilled in their functions. He sees a lot of patients, but intentionally takes the time to thoroughly explain what he is doing and why, and he is always ready to answer any questions that you have. I highly recommend Dr. Huang. read more

I highly recommend Dr Huang! Both of my kids had braces with him and we are very happy with the results. His staff is friendly and professional and scheduling is fast and flexible. His office is clean and well kept. Love the holiday decorations throughout the year! Dr Huang has the best expertise in the business in my opinion. He is very friendly and approachable too. He takes his time to explain his approach. An added bonus is they even have a goodie package once your kids completes their braces journey! Dr Huang also contributes to the San Leandro community by providing scholarships to high school students which I totally appreciate and admire. So if you're looking for any orthodontist, you can't go wrong with Dr. Huang! read more

I've been going to San Leandro Orthodontics for the past three years for braces and just graduated to retainers, and it has been nothing but pleasant and insightful. Dr. Huang and staff are charismatic and experienced, and I never felt uncomfortable despite being fairly introverted. In fact, I've always felt very cozy there, and I may have taken a nap a few times at the chair. Without a doubt, I would recommend San Leandro Orthodontics for anyone looking for braces or other orthodontic care. read more

Such a good experience at San Leandro Orthodontics in the past two years. Dr. John and his team are careful and patient. Highly recommend!

Dr. Huang and his staff at San Leandro Orthodontics are unicorns. The quality of care, attentiveness to patients, energetic office environment, ease of scheduling and financing makes this office one I would recommend to anyone in the Bay Area and beyond. It's that good. Dr. Huang not only set me up for a major surgical procedure, he assisted in finding a new surgeon when things went sideways. I have never had someone so vested in my case and caring enough to see me through to the end. I walk away with a new smile, a much improved bite and a load of gratitude for Dr. Huang and his team. read more

I am 65 years old and just got my braces off. "It is never too late to beautify yourself!" Dr Huang and his very kind and courteous staff have always made me feel welcome and well taken care of. I asked the staff to "be gentle with me because I am a baby" and they always accomodate and humor me, including Dr. Huang. My son, Adam, had his braces and retainer work by Dr. Huang about 19 years ago. As a single parent, I said "Why not me too?". We deserve to take the best care of ourselves as well as our kids. Thank you Dr. Huang and Great Team (administrative and dental staff). read more

I went to San Leandro Orthodontics to get Invisalign before my wedding of May 2023. Throughout the entire process Dr. John C. Huang was very nice and explained everything to me in detail. The appointments were easy to make and they were very flexible if I ever needed to change it. I would highly recommend this Orthodontist office. The staff was also very nice as well! read more

Dr.John C Hang is so kind and compassionate..I've been going there for 2 yrs and not one time have he gave me any attitude or looks of being stress. I recommend the whole side of San Leandro and the Bay to this man and he got my teeth looking great. The ladies who assist him are awesome too..great attitudes but the ones who sit up front need some teaching from the girls in the back. They never speak or greet just sad because they are the face of the clinic. They always look as if they don't want to help you. read more

I just got my braces off yesterday and I am extremely satisfied with my results! This was my second round of braces as I didn't wear my retainers when I was younger (big mistake) and this is my second time working with Dr. Huang! Because I was a returning client he gave me a very amazing discount which was much appreciated as my insurance didn't cover orthodontic work for the second round. The staff is amazing, always so friendly, and always very informative through out the process! Dr. Huang also gave me a goodie bag with a bunch of different treats and a bottle of sparkling cider as a congratulations- I don't know about you but I think that is pretty awesome! I'm so glad I decided to go back to Dr. Huang's office my second time around and would highly recommend anyone who is considering braces to go to SL orthodontics!! read more
