Patients Love Us!


Can’t thank Dr. Teng and his entire staff enough for the care and results I received! I originally went to another orthodontist who recommended jaw surgery for my slightly receded jaw and bite issues. Not fully comfortable with such an invasive route, I decided to get a second opinion—and I’m so glad I did.

Dr. Teng took the time to really assess my case and offered a non-invasive treatment plan that ended up working beautifully. Not only did he correct my bite, but he also helped improve the alignment of my jaw—all without surgery. The process was smooth, the results exceeded my expectations, and every appointment was met with kindness, professionalism, and patience from the entire team.

If you’re looking for an orthodontist who genuinely cares about their patients and goes the extra mile to find solutions that fit your needs, Dr. Teng is the one. I’m so grateful I found him!

Update: Grateful for the turnaround in care

I originally left a review expressing disappointment with my experience, particularly around communication and the outcome of my treatment. However, after a recent visit, I feel it’s important to update my review to reflect the positive changes.

At my latest appointment, the team took my concerns seriously, addressed every issue I raised, and made real efforts to fix the problems. They also offered a sincere apology and took full accountability for what had gone wrong previously—which I really appreciated.

My smile is now back on track, and I’m genuinely happy with the results I’m seeing. I’m grateful they took the time to listen and act on feedback. It made a big difference and changed my overall perspective on the care they provide.
