We originally registered the mark Face Focused Orthodontics & Dentofacial Orthopedics because we became committed to doing orthodontics which took into account the effect of orthodontics on the face. Too often traditional orthodontics produces straight teeth but ignores or even damages the balance of the face.

We have since recognized that by respecting the profile and balance of the face, a persons airway is not compromised and often can be improved. A compromised airway can be associated with TMJ problems, headaches, and sleep apnea. It has become apparent that Face Focused Orthodontics is far more than being about facial balance. Its critical consideration of airway factors indeed relates to a patients overall health.

Bill Hang grew up in the Midwest a fun-loving but very goal oriented person. Little did he know he would find himself attempting to change the dental profession from 'tooth carpenters' to 'mouth doctors' to help patients have the best smiles possible as well as a healthier life.

Trained as a traditional orthodontist, Dr. Hang has come to believe that straight teeth and a nice smile are important but someone's profile, jaw joint health and airway are primary concerns. Dr. Hang has committed his career to advancing a paradigm of thinking in orthodontics that rejects traditional retractive techniques in patients of all ages. His Face Focused treatment techniques are designed to: develop the jaws forward, never backward: work toward proper facial balance; create pleasing facial appearance; protect and/or expand the airway, and produce broad smiles that are complete to the corners of the mouth.

I sought Dr. Hang after doing a version of myofunctional therapy in Phoenix and another dentist recommending him as the next step if I wanted to further expand my mouth and ultimately my face since both were very narrow. I had had braces as a teenager, and then Invisalign in my 20s. My teeth were relatively straight going into my 30s but were definitely a little crooked. My goal with the braces that Dr. Hang provided was mostly aesthetic: broader smile, broader face, better looks. I thought that by forcing my mouth open with thick wires and expanders that this would give me what I desired. However, I did not think about the consequences that would happen with using manipulating my teeth and mouth with force as a fully-grown adult versus growing child. I had initially started feeling bodily discomfort just a few months into the treatment. I did not think too much of it, as the pandemic was going on. However, the discomfort did not go away. When we added the expanders, that's when the discomfort worsened. What was even more was that the goal I was initially going for was turned upside down. Instead of the expanders broadening my face, I would look in the mirror and actually notice that my face appeared thinner and longer. I suffered through it just until my teeth were fully straight and pushed for them to be taken off. It has been about 1.5 years since I got the braces off. I no longer wear the retainer after just a few months due to the side effects I still felt in my body. My teeth have not even shifted that much. However, ever since I have been doing different varieties of physical therapy because I still have discomfort and pain in my body. I tell this story not to bash this practice as they were professional, but as a cautionary tale for someone similar to me: a grown adult wanting to expand their smile/mouth/face. Through all of what I have learned, I would much recommend doing natural physical therapies such as cranial sacral therapy, myofunctional therapy (Joy Moeller), gyrotonix and pilates. These are much less intense ways to bring your body into alignment and help reach the best physical version of yourself. I know I had physical imbalances in my body before, but can speak with strong conviction that the braces and expanders this practice provided made the imbalances worse and tightened up my whole entire body. Through the more natural therapies mentioned above, I have made much progress with the damage done. Although this was my own fault and I am paying for my own vanity, I caution anyone to get these very intensive braces and expanders, especially as a grown adult.

We have had a wonderful experience with Dr. Hang and his team. They are extremely knowledgeable and friendly. This is my first experience working with an orthodontist and I felt very comfortable with the information presented. Overall, Face Focused Orthodontics was such a pleasure to work with and I look forward to my future visits.

My son (9 yr old) as we left his first appointment and walking to our car he looked at me and said " we are going here " I think that says it all!

Right away you're treated like family. Both Mrs Hang and Dr Hang were so personable and informative and both my son and I were treated with the utmost courtesy and respect. Like he says, "I treat the patient, not the teeth." Indeed he does and we were educated at a whole different level about orthodontics and what can be done to not only aesthetically make you look better, but breathe better and in my son's case, even sing better. I am so grateful that a friend of the family highly recommended Dr. Hang before we made a rather big and costly mistake somewhere else. Thank you thank you. We're so excited to be another future success story of Dr. Hang's!

I found booking and communicating with Dr. Hang's office to be uniquely pleasant. The office itself, when we arrived for our appointment was serene, bright, and warm. The staff made us feel very welcome and they seemed very patient with us, answering our questions and explaining everything to us as we went. We drove a decent distance (a few hours) to see Dr. Hang because of his expertise and experience- and it was well worth the effort. I already called and recommended Dr. Hang to two families (friends of mine) during the drive home after our initial appt.! We will commence treatment with them in a month, but my first impression is especially positive.

In my opinion there cannot be enough praises for what Dr. William Hang is doing for my son. He is supremely competent, very compassionate, dedicated to his profession. Dr. Hang is very attentive to my son's unique health needs in ways that others have routinely missed. I don't think that I am not alone in how I feel about Dr. Hang. I just wish that there could be more doctors like him available to treat patients, especially for people like my son.
