The best part about being an orthodontist is creating the smiles that create happiness. Growing up with crooked teeth, I was self-conscious about my smile. Whatever the age (young children, teens, and adults), being confident about your smile will translate to improving all aspects of one's life. The profound impact of my smile transformation with orthodontic treatment inspired me to create the same confidence for others. I am honored to help everyone get a smile that reveals their inner beauty and gain internal happiness. Dr. Kim
