What People Are Saying:

Naewon Oh

This place is the absolute best. Dr. Kwak and the staff are very nice and professional. I definitely recommend coming here.

Jehwon

I have been going to ClearWave Ortho for the past 2 years and thanks to them, my underbite and teeth have been corrected. The facility and most importantly the people who work here are amazing and welcoming. If you ever need to get Invisalign, braces, or anything else ortho, I suggest coming here and checking them out!

Isa Mizuta

Everdeep Naga II

I’ve been coming to Clearwave for my palate expansion procedure for over 6 months now. Every time I come in, it’s smiles all around from everyone in the office. Dr Jinny has made a complicated procedure and process very manageable and delightful. Highly recommended!

Joy Marbella

My 2 boys have best smiles now. Thanks to Dr. Jinny’s and best staff! We love the results and professional wonderful team!

David Li

Dr. Jinny and her team are lifesavers!I had a permanent retainer (installed when i was a teen) break last Friday and was having my speech, eating, and general quality of life impacted. Most orthodontists that I contacted refused to remove it without installing another one, and the ones that would didn't have availability until the next week. After suffering through it for a day, I reached out to ClearWave, and they were able to book me for a same-day appointment on a Saturday no less! Dr. Jinny was able to remove the retainer at a third of the cost of my other quotes, and educated me on my options moving forward without being pushy. I couldn't recommend a better orthodontist!

Hanhyoung Lee

Great service and had great treatment for my son which is 11 years old

Raymond Altamirano

Clear Wave Orthodontist provided outstanding service! The facilities were extremely clean, and the staff was knowledgeable, helpful, and supportive throughout our visits. Both of my daughters, ages 10 and 17, had a great experience—one with braces and the other with Invisalign. The team explained everything thoroughly and made us feel comfortable every step of the way. Highly recommend for anyone seeking top-notch orthodontic care!

Loved the experience. Best orthodontist.

Ruth-Anne Shue

Just wow. Dr. Jinny was super patient even after I came back to get another refinement. She went above and beyond by going through more aligners with me! Her entire team is always super kind and welcoming. The waiting area is always stocked with the best snacks and drinks and tunes. My teeth have never looked better. They are super straight and I can smile with more confidence. On my birthday, she even gave me flowers and cookies. At work, all my co-workers were super shocked when I told them as their orthodontists don’t do that haha! I highly recommend this place.
