I feel so fortunate being able to do what I do! As an orthodontist,I amconstantly reminded of the life-changing effect thatwe can have on peoples lives.We play an integral role in transforming our patients smiles and enhancing their self-confidence.
Best of all, since building a perfect smile takes time and precision, I really get to know my patients and they really get to know me.Developing long-term relationships is the greatest perk of my job.I treat each patient, no matter their age, as I would a member of my own family: with compassion, tender care, and as conservatively as possible.
When not practicing orthodontics, my life revolves around my wonderful husband Luong and our three sons, Jonah, Micah and Oliver. My favorite past times include traveling to exciting destinations and trying out new foods.

Theres nothing more rewarding to me than knowing you have helped improve the life of another person. In orthodontics, every day I get a chance to help someone feel that way. In the midst of working to create a healthy and beautiful smile, the most beautiful transformation is watching how much this translates into a patients personality and confidence.
When not practicing orthodontics, my life is consumed by my beautiful wife Cindy and my amazing three children, Caleb, Christopher and Caris. My favorite sports teams are the Lakers, Dodgers, 49ers and anything UCLA, go Bruins!

I have had the pleasure of directing smile transformations for more than 18 years. Ive worked in every role of an Orthodontics office and Im still eager to learn about new techniques or products to improve the process. I love the excitement that surrounds the journey of Orthodontics, the anticipation in the beginning, the dedication it takes during the monthly treatment visits and the reward at the end when another Son or Daughter reveals a beaming smile to their mom and dad! Being a part of Sons and Daughters is my most rewarding journey yet. My role is to educate my patients on everything from understanding how braces work and how to care for them..to maximizing insurance benefits to keep their cost down. I know this is a big decision for you and your family, so I am here to guide you through every step! If I am not at work you can find me cheering for my daughter at her softball games or curling my toes in the sand soaking up the California sunshine. My family is my source of joy and the roots behind my dedication to excellence. Our name says it all!We are all Sons and Daughters and are all blessed by the smiles that surround us everyday at work, school and home!Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy. ~Thich Nhat Hanh
Ive been in the world of dentistry for 16 years. The first 5 years were spent in general dentistry working alongside general dentists, assisting with procedures such as cleanings, root canals, fillings, etc. I also gave other specialties a whirl and found my true joy and passion once I worked in orthodontics. This is where Ive been the last 11 1/2 years, helping to create amazing smiles and seeing peoples self esteem improve. It makes me thrilled to be a part of their journey and see their incredible transformation and to see their true personality shine. What I enjoy most about working in the field of orthodontics is getting to know each patient individually and working with them step by step to achieve a beautiful new smile.
Away from the office I enjoy spending time with my love Johnny, my adorable infant son, family and friends. I also enjoy hiking, cheering on the boys in blue (Go Dodgers!), traveling and checking out the best breakfast/brunch, spot as savory and sweet dishes are my jam!
I have worked in the orthodontic field for 10 years! Without a doubt the best part of my job is the patients. Theres nothing I love more than getting to know the patients, and helping them along their journey to a beautiful smile. A smile is a gift of kindness and happiness, and I believe every person should wear one with confidence!
Sons and Daughters is the true definition of family. The goal is not to just create the perfect smile that will last you a lifetime, but to make sure you also have a fun-filled experience! I feel so grateful to be a part of a team that is passionate about teeth and getting to know the people behind them!
When Im not helping to make the world a better place one smile at a time, I can be found at yoga, trying to finish a half marathon, rooting for the Dodgers, or spending time with my family and friends. I would best describe myself as a Harry Potter fanatic and Hello Kitty enthusiast!
Hello everyone! I have had the pleasure of working in the dental field for the last 6 years and plan to continue on for many, many more. While completing my internships in school I was able to work in several different specialities, but my favorites have always been orthodontics and pediatric dentistry. The best thing about orthodontics for me, is seeing the joy it brings to each person when they see their final results. I am so excited to be a part of this amazing office and that I get to work alongside some of the most talented and caring individuals in this industry. Now I get to live my passion of helping others achieve that perfect smile and hopefully making that experience a positive and memorable one.
A little more about me personally is that I have always enjoyed learning about different things and I like keeping busy. I have my Bachelors degree in Sociology and am still continuing my education with courses in business administration. I enjoy spending my free time hanging out with family and friends, going to Dodger games, and I love shopping.
To the field of Orthodontics I am no stranger. Starting my journey to become a Registered Dental Assistant in 2002, I had no interest in any other field of dentistry other than orthodontics. The idea that the transformation of a smile could change a persons confidence and self-esteem is something I knew I wanted to be a part of. Aside from this reward, developing sincere relationships with patients along their journey is something I look forward to; being able to relate to their orthodontic and personal experiences. I am excited to embrace the new advances that have and are continuing to emerge in orthodontics. I value honesty, morality and quality of work. Here at Sons & Daughters I can say that I confidently refer my family, friends and acquaintances. To be involved with a team whos desire and excitement for our patients success (clinically and personally) is such a blessing! Though I am a Bryson and am married to my best friend and High School sweetheart, Everett, I proudly wear the name of Christ. Outside of the office you will usually find me on the basketball court cheering on my two sons, Everett Jadyn and Earl Jaryn. Included in my family are LeeBraun, our bearded dragon, and Inoki, our blue nose pitt bull. If personal time allows I enjoy going on evening strolls, relaxing at the beach and crocheting. I am also a huge fan of Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole.
Ive been in the dental field for 8 years, most of them in Orthodontics. After graduation, I worked in general/Pediatric dentistry. But my interest was always focused in Orthodontics. Before school, I started my braces treatment and was fascinated at what was happening with my teeth. That triggered my passion in this amazing field. I wanted to help others feel confident and happy about their smiles like I was with mine. My motivation is creating beautiful smiles and strong relationships with the people around me. I consider myself blessed to feel at home away from home, working along an amazing team and incredible Doctors doing what I love. Learning new things and see how technology evolves in Orthodontics.
My favorite things to do outside the office are spending quality time with my beloved husband Jesus, enjoying family and friends. Playing with our dogs Jack the boxer and Sally the English bulldog. Youll find us cheering for the Dodgers, fishing off Catalina Island, water rafting, snow boarding, camping or just in a new adventure creating unforgettable memories.
Ive been in the dentistry field for 6 years. I began my journey with pediatric dentistry first before entering the orthodontic field. I love being part of someones journey to gaining so much confidence by transforming beautiful smiles.
Away from work I love to spend time with my family, exploring new places, attending concerts, or just having a nice picnic. Now that my daughter is older, we are stepping outside of our comfort zone and traveling more and would love to travel outside of the country.
Hey all, I have been in the dental field for 10 years now. I love helping to create beautiful smiles every day. Orthodontics is constantly evolving and Im excited to see what the future holds. Sons and Daughters has a very welcoming and fun environment. Im blessed to be a part of the family. When Im not in the smile lab, I enjoy watching the Dodgers and LA Kings. You might see me cruising the peninsula on my rollerblades, enjoying a jog, crushing a bootcamp or with my family and friends enjoying the day.
Hi my name is Angelina and I have been in the dental field for 12 years. I originally started assisting as a young 16 year old because all I wanted was to buy a car. I quickly realized that it was my calling and the rest is history. I love the orthodontic field specifically because of how regularly we get to see our patients and create a relationship with them while we go through their smile journey with them.
I am originally from the Inland Empire and I temporarily started filling in at Sons and Daughters almost four years ago just helping out on the weekends. I knew even then that it was a place where I would love to see myself working full time. Then God took my husband and I to Sacramento for three years and I believe it was fate that brought us back to SoCal and brought me back to Sons and Daughters to officially be a part of the S&D family. I am so blessed to be working with such an awesome team with such caring doctors.
While not in the office, you can catch me hanging out with my awesome husband, Zach and my beautiful one year old twins Aliyah and Levi. I love spending quality time with family, walking our dog Otis, volunteering at our church youth group, finding new boba stops, online shopping, and true crime podcasts.
Hello. Im Haley! I havent been in orthodontics for that long but Ive been interested in the field ever since I began my own braces journey. Im very blessed to have the opportunity of being a part of such an amazing team here at Sons & Daughters Orthodontics. Ive learned so much in such a short amount of time thanks to everyone and I still got a lot to learn! One of the many amazing things I get to witness here is the beautiful transformation of every smile. One day, I hope to help many people show off their smile with confidence as an orthodontist.
Outside of the office, I am a 3rd year student at CSULB, majoring in Health Science. On the weekends, I spend the majority of my time at church. I teach first graders on Religious Education. Im also a youth leader for the Vietnamese Eucharistic Youth Movement. Other than that, I love to explore new places, especially restaurants, binge watch Netflix, and spend time with family and friends.
Hi! My name is Kayla and I am the Sons and Daughters Brand Ambassador! I have been with S&D for two years now and have loved every single minute. Sons & Daughtersis my home away from home and I absolutely adore spending time with my work family and patient friends. I spend my time in the office doing any andall things creative! From the chalkboard wall, events for schools, and filling your instagram feed with awesome content! Hey! One day you might even be lucky enough to see me bust a move when you get your braces off! I spend my time away from work, at home taking care of my puppy, Ozzy (Pawsbourne) and chasing him on his never ending need to ride the Crazy Train! I have a very impressive movie collection that just keeps growing and growing! So if you know of any good movies to see! Let me know!
A little more about me is that I love to create art through graphic design! Whether its making flyers, posters, t-shirts, or just making artwork, I feel very lucky to be able to take this passion I love so much and see my works come to life through the t-shirts, flyers, or even the chalkboard wall in the office! I also love hanging out with my older sister here in Irvine, along with her two cats, Stella and Rosa, and spending time with my family when I visit NorCal!
Hey Im Bryson! Ive been in the orthodontic field for the past two years now. I actually never saw myself in orthodontics nor did I know anything about it. But this world was opened up to me thanks to a friend and it has been one of the best yet! One of the best things about orthodontia is the patients. One of my passions is getting to know people and the different cultures they bring to the office. So the fact that I get to not only be a part of someones life changing journey, but also be able to create relationships with our patients is truly something so special to me.
I am so honored to be a part of Sons & Daughters where we get to create a culture of belonging; of family. Where every patient who walks through the doors is treated like people first. There is no doubt I was brought into a team that is second to none where everyone here strives to make EVERYONE feel welcomed and at home.
I found my passion for orthodontics 13 years ago. Seeing the transformation people go through when they achieve their dream smile is amazing and I love being a part of it! I have worked every position in an orthodontic office: from sterilization to the clinical assistant, to treatment coordinator, and to my current role as the financial coordinator. I love being a part of a team that shares my excitement for creating beautiful smiles and providing patients with an exceptional experience.
