The Tooth Fairy Is Back!
Here at Simply Orthodontics, we love the month of February. Not only do we get to celebrate Valentine’s Day (who doesn’t like a little extra love) and give away a romantic dinner for two… but it’s also National Children’s Dental Health Month. Dental...
Irvine Orthodontist Patient Feature: Tiffany Mink
One thing I love about being an orthodontist is that I get to meet a lot of interesting people of all ages and from all walks of life. I love hearing the stories of bright-eyed 10-year-olds as much as I enjoy those of my adult patients (Yes, big people get their teeth...
You Don’t Need Metal Mouth Anymore to Have Straight Teeth
We live in an age of endless options. Whether you’re shopping for a new car, cell phone, or even cereal, you never have to settle for just one choice. The same goes with straightening your teeth. Braces are not the only option anymore to have a beautiful...

Your Treatment Coordinator Isn’t Passionate About Teeth
“Min! I’m upset with you. You owe me $5,000.” That stopped me in my tracks. A mom was yelling at me at the reception desk in front of a crowded room and I was taken aback. But then she continued: “I could have had Jaxon’s braces done in a different...

Why can't I get a quote over the phone!?
We get this question a lot. I understand people want to shop around and just get prices, but your smile is not a car or insurance where you can just get a quote. Every orthodontist in Irvine does not think and do things the same way, or diagnose the same,...
Yes! Your Orthodontist is Color Blind!
I haven’t blogged in awhile, so I figured I would write about something non-orthodontics related. You guessed it...my color blindness! Why am I blogging about this you ask? Obviously, when my patients are telling me the colors to put on their braces I have...
