Orthodontics is a passion thats deeply rooted in my DNA. My mother is a dentist, and she started taking me into the office when I was just two years old. For me, theres nothing more fulfilling than helping my patients attain a healthy, beautiful smile and seeing their self-confidence blossom. I love getting to know each person who sits in my chair, and I want your experience at The OrthoBee Orthodontics to be both comfortable and rewarding.
As a native of Orange County, California, I feel privileged to establish my practice, The OrthoBee Orthodontics, in Fountain Valley, next door to Huntington Beach where I grew up. Im proud to serve the residents of Fountain Valley, Huntington Beach, and other communities in the Orange County area.
I graduated with honors from the University of California, Irvine, where I received my bachelors degree in biology. After traveling to Spain on a Fulbright Scholarship, I continued my academic journey at the renowned Harvard School of Dental Medicine in Boston, where I graduated with top honors with a doctorate in dental medicine. I went on to complete my postgraduate residency at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and became board certified in orthodontics.
For me, continuing education and lifelong learning help fuel my commitment to excellent patient care. Thats why I strive to stay involved in professional and academic activities. This includes instructing students at the University of Southern California School of Dentistry, as well as giving lectures at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine and at local dental study clubs. I am highly involved in several national and local dental societies and have served on the board of the Orange County Dental Society and the Harvard Alumni Association.
We know that choosing an orthodontist is a very personal decision. Orthodontic treatment is a long-term, ongoing process. Knowing this, we strive to make your orthodontic treatment in our office a positive experience. We believe that the 'customer always comes first!'
Our office is technologically advanced in the field of orthodontics. We offer not only digital photographs, records and models, but also digital X-rays. Digital X-rays produce 80% less radiation that the traditional variety. Our office is nearly paperless, allowing us to provide our patients with faster and more efficient service.
There are new and exciting treatment modalities in orthodontics. In the past, orthodontists would use heavy forces to move the teeth. Today in orthodontics we utilize light forces and low friction to move teeth faster and more gently than ever before. The results are outstanding. The patients in our office benefit from our use of these latest technologies in the following ways:
The American Board of Orthodontics (ABO), founded in 1929, is the oldest and most prestigious specialty board in dentistry. It is the only orthodontic specialty board recognized by the American Dental Association. The ABO's goal is to elevate the standards of orthodontic practice and to protect the public against irresponsible and unqualified practitioners.
Dr. Bui proudly supports our local community by sponsoring sports teams, dance academies, anti-bullying campaigns and various charity events. She hosts the annual Halloween candy buy back event to help the local PTAs and sends care packages (which include the candy and dental care products) to our troops aboard. Dr. Bui is as passionate about helping animals as she is about people; she donates her time and money to the Orange County Humane Society.
