Dr. Christopher H. Nguyen received his Doctor of Dental Medicine at Boston University Henry Goldman School of Dentistry in 1992, General Practice Residency at LA/County USC Medical Center in 1993, and Certificate in Orthodontics along with a Master in Dentistry from 1993-1996. He also received outstanding award from International College of Dentistry and honors from Omicron Kappa Upsilon. He also attended master course from world renown orthodontist Richard McLaughlin and Invisalign Master course.
Besides constantly studying and learning the latest technologies and trends in orthodontics, his hobbies include golfing, running (he completed the Disneyland, Surf City and OC Half Marathon), attending sporting events, and of course, spending quality time with my daughter.
Another huge part of his life that is important to him is giving back to those in need. After two years of participating in a charitable group making annual trips to Vietnam to perform general dentistry, Dr. Nguyen was inspired to establish his own foundation. Alongside with his friend and colleague Dr. Ratner, who is an oral maxilla-facial surgeon, theyestablished their own charitable foundation in 2006 called Open Heart. Since 2006, the Open Heart team has travelled each year to Vietnam to performed cleft lip and palate surgeries and jaw reconstruction to the under-served population in Vietnam.
Dr. Christopher Nguyen opened his orthodontic practice in July 1997. At our practice, we believe that serving every patient is a privilege. This is why each patient is treated as an individual and treatment is always carefully based on each patients specific needs.
Our office works regularly to remain current with the latest technology, but every treatment we do is evidence-based and never anectdotal. Because time is of the essence in todays society, our team is sensitive to patient waiting time, which we work to minimize.We are focused on providing our patients with the best possible experience while striving to achieve a harmonious smile both in function and aesthetics.

First impression was not so great, On Sunday got a message stating that they would see my daughter for a consultation, i wanted my daughter to have braces done. Monday afternoon came, just before my daughter's appointment, stated that the doctor is not available ( Very unprofessional ) i have to see him some other time or reschedule. Sorry i don't work like this, my time and yours are just as important, i can't be chasing you like catching butterflies!

Five stars. Excellent service all around. I started my Invisalign treatment two years ago with very crooked top teeth and an overbite. Now I am completely done and I have very straight teeth. Dr. Nguyen is very nice as well and has accommodated any needs I had. Highly recommend choosing this place to get Invisalign.

Dr. Nguyen and everyone in his office are such a joy to be around. I first got braces with him about 20 years ago as a child, and had a wonderful experience. I was back recently to get a new retainer, and nothing has changed in regards to the great people there! The one difference I did notice is all of their amazing new technology that they have in there, it's so amazing that they're keeping up with the times and getting all new equipment. I highly recommend Dr. Nguyen! With the new technology and methods he uses you have a lot more options!

The "Doc" and his staff will take care of you even if they have to work overtime. He's patient and listens to your feedback and any concerns you may have. He doesn't force anything that you're uncomfortable with and explains/answers any questions you have.

I first started coming here for invisalign back in about 2014. For the past 5 years, my experience here has always been amazing. I am so happy with the results and when I look back at old pictures, it's crazy to see how much progress my teeth has made! The staff here is very friendly and always welcoming. Dr. Christopher is also very kind and has made this experience a breeze! I highly recommend coming here for invisalign!
