Our technology-driven orthodontic process offers several important benefits that make the whole "braces experience" much easier for patients than conventional orthodontics! You've probably heard from friends or family that wearing braces is a long-term commitment, taking more than two years on average.
Consider Invisalign to get the beautiful straight teeth you've always wanted - without braces. A complimentary consultation with Dr. Merilynn Yamada can determine if Invisalign is right for you. Invisalign uses a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners that no one can tell you're wearing.
The American Association of Orthodontics (AAO) recommends all children have an orthodontic evaluation by age 7. Early treatment can straighten teeth, guide erupting teeth into position, correct bite problems, and reduce crowding. It also can prevent the need for tooth extractions and shorten the time in braces as a teenager.
Thank you so much for the great work you have done for me. The results are amazing and your attitude and spirit made the treatment more enjoyable for me. Your attitude of genuine interest and care for your patients made a big difference. There is a good enthusiastic energy in your office. I feel you are all very good people and you make a great team.

I truly cannot compliment DrYamada and her staff enough! As a child i had crooked teeth and bite problems that they miraculously turned into a beautiful smile, after an accident in highschool botched my teeth I hated my teeth and never smiled in photos! I recently came back for an invisalign treatment and could not be happier with the results! The treatment was quick, staff was amazing, and DrYamada returned my beautiful smile to me! She’s the only orthodontist i would trust with my smile, a true artist with teeth! I will be forever grateful to her and her staff for all theyve done for me! :

Adult Orthodontia - You’re Not Too Old For Braces!
I’m writing this review to encourage adults (especially those in the 50+ age group like myself) to pursue orthodontia. For well over a decade, my dentist (Dr. Nancy Lee) persistently recommended that I see an orthodontist. My upper canine baby teeth never dropped and my adult teeth had over time, migrated directly underneath my nose. My bottom teeth were crowded which caused my upper teeth to splay and the hereditary gap between my front teeth grew wider each year.
For years, I ignored my dentist’s advice, but five years ago, I met with
