I am most passionate about making a difference in my patients lives and helping them discover how straight and beautiful their smile can be. I chose to be in the field of orthodontics because I want to make an impact in ones quality of life and to bring more confidence to the world. My goal is to provide excellent orthodontic treatment for children and adults.
It is so exciting to be able to give my patients a beautiful smile and see their self-confidence grow. It is very rewarding to be able to treat kids and adult with so many different life experiences and stories, getting to know each and every single one of my patients on a personal level. I look forward to meeting you and your family, and building a relationship that will last as long as the smile we create for you. Dr. Wesley Chiang

For most people, achieving a healthy, beautiful smile is the reason for receiving orthodontic care. If you're self-conscious about your smile, correcting your concerns with braces will greatly improve the way you look and feel.
When your treatment is complete, you will have the smile you've always dreamed of and the confidence to show it off! We also want you to feel comfortable and confident throughout your entire orthodontic experience, and our practice is dedicated to making sure that you receive the quality care you deserve.
Orthodontic appliances are made of metal, ceramic, or plastic. They may be removable or they may be brackets bonded to the teeth. By placing a constant, gentle force in a carefully controlled direction, braces slowly move teeth to the proper position.
Gone are the days when a metal band with a bracket was placed around each tooth. You can now choose clear or metal brackets and, in some cases, the color of your appliance. Wires are far less noticeable, and the latest materials are designed to move teeth faster with more comfort. Today, any age is a great age to wear braces!
Treatment time varies and can last between one and three years, depending on several factors including age, treatment method, and how minor or severe your case is. A big factor in a successful treatment is you! The more involved and diligent you are, the more efficient your treatment will be. For children, receiving interceptive or early treatment can also help provide a quicker treatment time.
