Dr. Moy has earned two Doctorate degrees. In 1987, she became a Dr of Dental Medicine in South Korea, then she moved to the US and in 1995 earned her Advanced Post Doctoral degree in Dentistry from the University of Pacific Arthur Dugoni, San Francisco. In addition to that foundational education, she has studied many specializations and modalities, including countless hours of Continuing Education in Dentistry, Integrative Medicine, Orthodontics and TMJ treatment over the last 30 years.

Dr Moy spent many years practicing aesthetic and implant dentistry before becoming interested in Orthodontics and Integrative biologic dentistry, particularly in young children. Dr. Moy wanted to find a more gentle and holistic way to do Orthodontic treatment than she experienced with the current conventional and traditional way. It started with a simple question, Why do children have crooked teeth and bad bite. What is the root cause of it and How to treat this more preventive way?

When Dr Moy became a mother, she realized that her child was also starting to show all the signs and symptoms of orthodontic problems. That simple question shed asked herself earlier now took her on a journey that she lived herself as a parent, along with her many clients.

Dr Moy truly believes that preventive treatment, as early as possible, and treating root cause and education can achieve a lifetime of a healthy mouth and whole body posture. The ALF therapy philosophy enabled her to treat herself, and her daughter, now 16, with gorgeous and healthy smiles. She has also successfully treated countless patients with ALF over the last 15 years.
