I chase this clinic because of all the great reviews they have . I was torn between going 2 clinics to finish my ortho that was started in ano tú er country . I have tmj and im very concerned of it because other than how I want my teeth to look c it's very important to me that my bite is perfect as well. When I came in, Melissa greeted with a big smile and made me feel welcomed . She explained all the processs and was very acommodatong with all my questions . She was wasn't pushy or made me feel like they just wanted my money . She'd and the doctor gave me all the information I needed to make a decision and if you ever need any braces done or Invisalign , this is the place to be . The doctor is focused on what's best for you , not just closeting a sale . Love it. Melissa thank you for all. Your help . Appreciate you guys there .

My 8-year-old daughter started orthodontic treatment because one of her teeth wasn’t coming in due to her small lower jaw. The doctor explained everything well, and she’s now in the Phase II treatment process. Most of her teeth are coming in evenly, and I’m happy that she’ll have a beautiful smile.

All the staff are kind, and as long as we stick to the appointment time, there’s no waiting time. If your kids have a similar issue and you live in South Bay, I highly recommend Clearwave!

Best orthodonics in South bay! My son finished treatment here and got the great result!

Dr. Kwak is amazing! My daughter absolutely loves going to her appointments, and it’s all thanks to Dr. Kwak's ability to make every visit a great experience. She has a natural way of making kids feel comfortable and relaxed. Plus, my daughter looks forward to the snacks in the waiting area, which is always a fun treat after her visit!

On top of being so great with kids, Dr. Kwak has impressive credentials and extensive experience in orthodontics.

The office is always spotless, and I especially appreciate how hygienic everything is. As a germaphobe, this is a huge deal for me, and Dr. Kwak and her team never disappoint. The staff is super kind and professional. We couldn't be happier with the care Dr. Kwak and her team provide, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a top-notch orthodontist!

Akilah B

I love Dr. Jinny and the admin staff. They have been so wonderful and work with you. A much different experience to my previous orthodontist. I was never happy with my results from my first round of work, but Dr. Jinny was honest and practical about what I can do to improve it. They have been really patient and understanding about my experience.

Vianey Gutierrez

Overall I've had a great experience with ClearWave and their staff!! I highly recommend them!!

Sarah Martini

All the folks at ClearWave are amazing! Dr Jinny has made getting Invisalign so easy for my 9 year old son with special needs. I was worried how he would respond to being in the chair, not to mention getting the treatment — but Dr Jinny and the whole staff have made it altogether easy! Thank you!

Stephanie Woo

Everyone is so nice and I love the results of my straighten teeth. I had a great experience. Highly recommend!

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

I’m so glad I decided to come here. Dr. Jin Hee Kwak and everyone here are so kind and knowledgeable! The facility is always clean and I’m very pleased with the progress so far. Thank you!

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!

Bryan Yoon

Dr. Jinny and staff are beyond great, friendly, and always so helpful! Highly recommend! A++

Amazing people

Cameron Kim

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.
