I am very blessed to have chosen a career that positively impacts the lives of so many people and their families. Aside from helping others attain the smile they have always wanted, I enjoy getting to know the different personalities and interests of each of my patients. I believe in providing my patients with comfortable and effective orthodontic treatment. Having had braces twice myself, I understand how a healthy, confident smile can go a long way!
After earning my undergraduate degree from the University of California, Berkeley, I received my Doctorate of Dental Surgery (D.D.S.) at the University of Southern California in 2006. Upon completing my doctorate, I continued my studies at USC to attain my specialty Certificate in Orthodontics, as well as a Masters in Craniofacial Biology (M.S., 2009) . Using the knowledge from all of my training, I am able to treat the full range of orthodontic needs, from young children and teens to adults.
Although I have been practicing orthodontics for over 10 years, I continue to keep up with the latest treatments and changing technologies. I attend various courses each year to increase my clinical skills so that I can provide the best possible care for my patients. I am also an active member in the following organizations:
When I am not practicing orthodontics, I enjoy spending time with my wife, Jaime, and two sons, Riley and Brayden. I also love watching sports, especially the Lakers and USC football. I believe in smiling and laughing each day, and I hope that I can evoke those same feelings with everyone I meet!
We know that our office is only as effective and welcoming as the people who work in it, which is why we take pride in our friendly, well-trained staff! As a team, we are especially interested in making your visits as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. We want all of our patients to feel right at home!
We put your needs first to achieve efficient, comprehensive treatment in a supportive, nurturing environment. We offer patients a complimentary oral examination, including free, ultra-low intensity digital X-rays, followed by a thorough explanation of our findings. We promise to speak candidly with you about possible treatments, any risks and associated costs of treatment, and how treatment can address your individual needs as a patient.
Our staff is highly skilled, uniquely trained and strives to provide energetic, fun-loving service to each patient. Our team members have specialized training and multiple certifications. Maria, Lupe and Gladys have years of experience treating patients with the highest level of care and are always happy to meet new people!
We strive to stay abreast of the very latest technology and advancements in orthodontics by regularly attending continuing education courses and seminars. For example, we utilize the iTero digital scanner for our Invisalign patients. No need for the messy, uncomfortable, sticky impressions anymore!

My daughter started treatment to have her teeth straightened before last year and there is real improvement. I was very pleased that the office was an early adopter of COVID-19 precautions when it became apparent that the illness was real and spreading . I highly recommend Dr Wong and his staff to anyone seeking orthopedic care.

I took my daughter here are her teeth came out great. I will also take my son here in the summer. My daughter was very scared and they took great steps to make her feel at ease. She was scared when they out on and off the braces but they kept her calm. The monthly visits we're tough in the beginning but as the months past by she became a pro. Great doctor. Great staff.

Professional and knowledgeable doctor. I was a bit hesitant at first because Dr. Wong looks so young- like he just graduated high school. Don't let that fool you, he knows his stuff! You know when an office is efficient and organized when things move like clockwork- short wait times, patients in and out on time. I get appointment reminders for my daughter's visits via text/email. Staff here deserves a thumbs up for good business practices, always professional with a smile. There is a parking garage downstairs and it's free to park. The office is clean and you have the option to brush/rinse before and after your visit. My daughter's teeth are looking good!!

Dr. Wong and his staff are great! I was a bit weary about getting braces, but after my consultation with Dr. Wong, he put all my fears at ease. I was provided with several options to correct my bite and a detailed explanation about how braces work. He answered all of my questions and made sure that I understood the whole process. At no point did I feel pressured into starting treatment. I had previously consulted with two other orthodontists, but neither of them were as thorough or easy to talk to. After having braces for a few months now, I can already see a big change with my smile. The assistants that work with me are very nice and always make sure that I am comfortable before I leave. What I like most about coming here is that Dr. Wong speaks to me about my treatment each visit so I know how my teeth are coming along. This office is the best and can't wait to see my smile after my braces come off!
