What People Are Saying:

I decided to go forward with an Invisalign two year treatment plan on the spot after meeting with Dr Kwak and Melissa and Joanna. All of my questions... were thoroughly answered so I could make an informed decision. The office is spotless and the doctor and Melissa and Joanna could not be any friendlier. I am referring this orthodontist to all of my family and friends.read more

Just finished my Invisalign treatment with Dr. Kwak and I couldn’t be happier with my results! Throughout the whole process I felt like I was in the... best of care. They routinely scheduled visits to check the progress of my teeth movement and really made sure I was happy with my bite and teeth positioning. I really appreciated Dr. Kwak’s honest advice throughout my treatment. She even gave me a great referral to get some composites done to fill some spacing between my teeth. Her office is a 40-50 min drive for me, but I would not go anywhere else for this treatment. I will definitely be recommending her to friends and family.read more

Choosing the right Orthodontist is challenging but I am glad I found Dr.Kwak.I already had metal braces a couple of years ago but I started seeing... gaps in my teeth and my overbite came back because I didn't wear the retainers. I originally wanted metal braces but Dr.Kwak suggested an Invisalign treatment and oh boy! It's a lot painless than the metal braces and I already see a huge progress on my overbite only in 3 months! Dr.Kwak is very knowledgeable, detail oriented and caring. She cares a lot about your oral health as well and focuses on giving you a healthy and functional bite with a perfect smile 🙂read more

Dr. Kwak is an amazing orthodontist, i highly recommend her! My daughter had braces with her for two years, started when she was 16 and finished with... an amazing smile. Dr. Kwak is very personable, affectionate and caring. She's really good with teenagers, they like her a lot and listen to her instructions well. That makes the mom's life easier! Dr. Kwak still keeps in touch with Janice for retainer checks - we recently had to replace her old ones. She always responds to our questions and requests quickly. Go visit her and you'll know what I mean!read more
