ORTHODONTICS FOR KIDS

Dr. Loo and Dr. Yen recommend that children have their first orthodontic appointment when they turn 7 years old. By then, their first adult teeth have come through and can be evaluated for any irregular teeth and jaw concerns like cross bites, under bites, and crowding.

ORTHODONTICS FOR ADULTS

Improve your personal appearance, self-esteem and the health of your teeth and gums through orthodontic treatment. We use a variety of dental appliances to help create beautiful, healthier smiles.

ORTHOGNATHIC SURGERY

Corrective jaw surgery, known as orthognathic surgery, corrects conditions of the face and jaw that cannot easily be treated with braces. In addition to affecting your facial appearance, jaw problems may affect your ability to chew, speak, and breathe.

Additional Information

YOUR FIRST VISITS

During your initial consultation, Dr. Loo will review your health history, discuss your treatment goals, perform an orthodontic exam and take diagnostic records (digital xrays and photographs).

CASE PRESENTATION

After Dr. Loo has reviewed your case, she will discuss your customized treatment plan in detail, including the costs, treatment timeline and expectations.

REGULAR VISITS

If you're not able to keep your appointment, please contact the office 48 hrs in advance. Cancel only in an emergency, as rescheduling can take up to 4-8 weeks.

FEES

Fees are determined by the difficulty of the original dental bite, the age of the patient, the number of phases involved in treatment, and the need for jaw surgery to provide an ideal correction.

PAYMENT OPTIONS

Our payment options may be individualized to accommodate each patient. Although the payment options are quite flexible, the most common payment plan chosen by patients who are undergoing full treatment includes an initial appliance fee, followed by the division of the balance over 20 months.
