I enjoy seeing how orthodontic care affects my patients in such positive ways. Due to the nature of dental development, many of my patients are adolescents who are in the midst of maturing into young adults. Over the years, I have discovered that their self-esteem and how they perceive themselves is closely knit to what they see in the mirror. The orthodontic services I am able to provide to my patients result in aesthetically pleasing, healthy smiles. It is very exciting to see my patients gain pride and confidence, and in this way, I am grateful for the opportunities to affect peoples' lives in such a positive way.

I am dedicated to the health and well-being of my patients. The field of orthodontics is constantly advancing and I continually update my training through classes, seminars, and keeping involved in the greater dental community.

Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with my wife and two sons. I've spent many years coaching baseball, basketball and soccer, as well as running our local Cub Scout Pack. When I have the chance, I love to travel, cook, play golf and tennis. Spectator sports are a passion of mine andI'm a HUGE Giants fan!

Hi, I'm Erma and I have enjoyed greeting, welcoming and helping our patients during their visits to our office over the last 26 years. It is exciting to meet new patients, stay connected to former patients and see how orthodontic care improves a person's smile and positively affects his or her self-confidence. Dr. Jang has an innate ability to make our patients feel comfortable and connected to our office. Since he has children of his own, he understands family needs and is able to create a family care practice.

I'm a native of Quezon City, Philippines, but have made my home in the Bay Area and love it. While not in the office, I teach Tae Bo, enjoy Karate and love family time, whether it is celebrating birthdays or attending my children's sporting events.

Hello, I'm Joyce and I work with our patients and the insurance companies to make the financial portion of their treatment as easy and painless as possible. For the past 21 years, I've enjoyed working in Dr. Jang's office because we are able to help children and see such positive results after the orthodontic treatment. Dr. Jang provides a pleasant working environment and he is diligent about keeping up with the latest orthodontic information and technology. The families I work with are fascinating because they represent a variety of different cultures.

Hello, we're the dental assistants in the office and we provide the highest quality orthodontic care to every individual, alongside Dr. Jang. Combined, we have over 34 years of clinical orthodontic experience with Dr. Jang. It is wonderful to work with patients of all ages on a one-on-one basis everyday. The most gratifying part of our work is being able to care for our patients, build strong relationships with them and seeing the positive results of the treatment we provide. We enjoy working with Dr. Jang, because he is knowledgeable, professional, understanding, caring and family-oriented. Our patients introduce us to so many different backgrounds and cultures. The best part is when we see them with a big smile when treatment is completed.

Don't worry! Braces aren't nearly as scary as you may think. In fact, braces today come in a variety of styles, materials, and colors, making life with braces much easier, more comfortable, and even more stylish than in the past.

Orthodontic braces are a big part of life for many people your age. While braces may have had a bad reputation in the past, today's braces make it easy to look good and feel good! Please contact our practice to schedule your next orthodontic checkup.

Orthodontic treatment is no longer just for teens. In fact, the American Association of Orthodontists states that one in five orthodontic patients is over the age of 21. Many adults are choosing to receive treatment because they understand the importance of maintaining their health, and they want to feel better about their appearance. Adults everywhere are taking advantage of the opportunity to receive orthodontic care, and now you can too.

For many adults, the thought of having metal braces is enough to discourage them from receiving treatment. However, today's orthodontic treatment options offer a variety of braces and appliances that are comfortable, aesthetic, and customized to meet your needs. Types of braces include:

The main difference to remember when treating adults or children and teens, is that in younger patients the jawbones are still developing. For adults, these bones have stopped growing, which may mean the possibility of orthognathic surgery to align the jawbones. Other differences include:

Our practice also recognizes that adults and children have different needs, and require a different level of attention and care. We will work with you to ensure that you receive the most appropriate treatments, and that your needs are met with understanding and respect from us.
