My patients are like a second family to me. Each is unique and brings their own personality to the office. I enjoy getting to know patients personally while helping them achieve a beautifully healthy smile one theyll love for a lifetime!

Our smiles are how we greet the world. When a person has crooked teeth, they can feel self-conscious and uncomfortable at school and work. Patients often start orthodontics with low self-esteem and a reluctance to engage with their peers. As they see their teeth start to move into proper position, these people start to feel better about themselves: They begin to make eye contact and walk taller. Best of all, they start to talk happily and laugh with others, and they begin to share their smiles. By the time they finish, each is a new person:smiling with confident ease!

I am passionate about the lasting difference orthodontic care makes. While many think about braces as being all about smiles, the reality is that properly positioned teeth improveoral health and makeit easier to keep yourteeth and gums healthy and clean. Orthodontics also means better function and less strain on the jaw, which lessensthe likelihood of TMJ-TMD in the future.

Each year I complete many hours of continuing education here in Hawaii and abroad. Orthodontics is constantly evolving and I want to use the best technologies and techniques available. These make the orthodontic experience as effective and comfortable as possible for my patients.

Ive been an Elite Preferred Provider for Invisalign treatment (reserved for the top 1% of providers nationwide) since 2008 and am a Pacific Northwest Regional Leader. I am one of only a handful of women in the world to have earned this title. I have successfully treated more than1,000 patients with Invisalign and can accomplish outstanding results!

After growing up in Korea, I now call Honolulu my home. My husband is Dr. Michon Morita and Im Mom to two beautiful children. Being with my family is important to me, and I also enjoy playing the piano.

As a dentist, Im most passionate about providing individualized, advanced dental care that helps each patient achieve their goals. Modern dentistry allows me to deliver incredible, lasting results and to do so comfortably. When a patient thanks meat the end of a procedurefor making it painless, Im thrilled.I know theyve learned that a visit here is nothing to worry about!

I love getting to know and build relationships with each of my unique and special patients. I learn from them every day, as much as or more than they learn from me. When a person shares stories of their life, experiences, and dreams, I am honored to be included in their world.

Dentistry is about improving quality of life. I am able to restore function and oral health, relieve pain, and make a smile even more beautiful. I am also able to educate people and encourage them to appreciate the importance of their oral and overall wellness. Its an incredible feeling when I see a patient take control of their health!

Ive been practicing dentistry for more than 25years; my team has been by my side for many of those years. Each is highly skilled and loves what they do: they care about each patient as much as I do and are committed to providing the best care in a supportive, safe environment. My team is the bedrock of the practice and is why were successful!

I think now is the best time to be a dentist. Advances in technology, materials, and techniques mean more comfortable care and truly amazing results for patients. Part of being a dentist is remaining current on these changes byconstantly learning about developments and expanding and honing my skills. Through continuing education, I ensure my patients achieve their healthiest, happiest smiles and love the care I deliver.

I grew up in Waipahu. After completing dental school, Ireturned to Hawaii. Ive lived in Mililani for more than 25yearswith my wife Karen, our two children, Daniel and Marissa, and our dog, Hachi. I love living here in this family-oriented community!
