Services
For over thirty years, this Orthodontic practice has been completely devoted to serving our patients in every aspect of orthodontic care. It is our honor and privilege to continue providing the highest quality of care to our patients. We are fully committed to caring for our patients in a professional, ethical, and comfortable environment.
The most commonly known orthodontic treatment is braces: an orthodontic appliance used to straighten teeth and correct bad bites. Braces can be prescribed for teens, adults, and children who have permanent teeth. They may be used in conjunction with other orthodontic appliances prescribed to widen the palate or jaws or to shape the teeth and jaws.
Orthodontic appliances are braces which are made of metal, ceramic, or plastic in the case of Invisalign. They may be removable (Invisalign) or they may be brackets bonded to the teeth (Braces). By placing a constant, gentle force in a carefully controlled direction, braces (or Invisalign) slowly move teeth to a corrected position.
What is the difference between early orthodontic treatment, and regular orthodontic treatment and why might my child need early treatment? How will early treatment benefit my child in the long-run? These are just a few of the questions surrounding the topic of early orthodontic treatment for children.

Came in for a consultation about a small gap and was so impressed! The office is very modern and well decorated, and ALL the staff are very sweet, friendly, and helpful. Dr. Waite was great--thorough and honest about the best steps going forward. They are also fantastic about communication. Definitely recommend :)

Dr. Waite and all the staff are AMAZING! The office is always so welcoming! I previously had braces with another office and I never felt 100% satisfied because I still had overlap and crowding in my teeth. Dr. Waite listened to my concerns and always kept me in the loop on my progress each visit! My treatment is complete. I am 100% satisfied with my SMILE and every part of the process. I wish I would have discover Dr. Waite's office my first time around. My sister in law also comes here now since I shared how positive my experience has been with Dr. Waite's office. You truly feel like

My daughter had 8 ankylosed molars, she needed to get those extracted in order to avoid damage to her permanent molars and to actually allow them to grow in. From day one we felt very comfortable and were impressed by the technology. The entire staff has always been amazing, very knowledgeable. Even when everything shut down Dr. Waite made sure she was being assessed. Everything went smooth, it helps that they have a rewards system for the kids so they are motivated to keep all appointments. Today was the day my daughter got her braces taken off, she can't stop smiling!

I, love, love, love Doctor Waites Orthodontics Office. My son and I are having invisalign treatment done here. Dr. Waite has up-to-date technology. Dr. Waite even has the dental monitoring. At the end of our start appointment he sent us a link and we download the app. Then we just take pictures of our teeth every 2 weeks so that he could monitor our teeth. It's a great way to start treatment during the pandemic because we don't have to be at the office that often. Love him and his team. Great people!

Dr. Waite and his team are some of the best! I had braces for 4 years and I honestly am so glad it was here! It's about a 30-40mim drive for me but it's 100% worth it! When you are going to an office for such a long time and even after your treatment is over for retainer checks, etc., you feel a part of the family. I love feeling so comfortable, able to ask any questions and knowing that their best interest is my health and care. I don't feel like just another "client" I feel taken care of which means the world to me and my dental needs! My braces have been off for about 2 years now and they still

When I walk into an office and see degrees and certifications all over the wall it can be a sense that your Doctor, Lawyer, Dentist, Orthodontics is Proud of their accomplishments! I'm a person who learns by visuals and feel so much comfort when knowing that I'm receiving proper CARE FROM THE HEAVENS. Thank you for your amazing office and look forward to a future partnership on my project. My name is Honorable Jose Trejo and I approve this message!

I just finished treatment with Dr. Waite a little over a month ago, and I could not be more pleased with the results! I had a very difficult case that several Orthodontists didn't want to attempt. From the initial consultation Dr. Waite knew exactly the treatment plan he wanted to do for me and was confident it would work.
Even though Dr. Waite was confident, I was hesitant because this wasn't my first round of braces. I had braces twice in elementary school and once in high school. After three rounds of braces my bite still reverted back and I was left with a slight underbite. This caused me

We "inherited" Dr. Waite when Dr. Stephen Kim transferred his practice to Dr. Waite towards the end of our daughter's orthodontic treatment. Since we were almost finished with our daughter's braces, we decided to let Dr. Waite complete her treatment with the removal of the braces, and then start the subsequent retainer stage. BEST decision ever!!
We got to know Dr. Waite, and immediately warmed up to him. Superior knowledge is expected of a doctor, but the bonus comes when his or her bedside manners are impressive. Dr. Waite delivers on both! Now, he is treating our son

Waite Orthodontics is wonderful! The office is bright and clean, the staff is very friendly and helpful. Dr Waite is very kind and talked to my son about his interests which made his feel very comfortable. My son was very nervous about braces and after meeting Dr Waite he is now excited to have a billion dollar smile. The office has state of the art X-ray equipment, and treatment plan is explained very clearly. Payments are very transparent, no hidden fees. There’s even an incentive plan for kids to earn gift cards! If you live in Orange County or Seal Beach/ Long Beach area this is the perfect

My son has been Dr. Waite's patient for past 10 months. He is a teenager who is very picky about almost everything. He has severe crowding in his teeth. Dr. Waite is very attentive and very well skilled dentist. My son truly trusts him and enjoys his progress. I never expected he actually look forward his monthly appointment. His staffs are also very nice and professional. I highly recommend Dr. Waite.

We have had a great experience with Dr. Waite and his staff. My daughter looks forward to her visits and is experiencing excellent results. She is in Phase 1 treatment right now. We don't live locally, but it's worth the drive to get the best care and latest in orthodontic options and extras like colored ties, monthly contests and rewards, as well as adult treatments like Invisalign. Not only is Dr. Waite a clinician who is thorough and detailed in his approach, he is personable and motivates my daughter to do her part.

I had THE BEST experience at Waite Orthodontics! The staff is kind & professional! I called because I had broken my permanent retainer. They gave me the price over the phone & fit me in immediately. The ladies in the office were so nice and helpful! Dr. Waite had me in and out in 15 minutes & explained what he was doing step by step. I am so grateful I found Dr. Waite!

Brought my little in for a complimentary exam and I am impressed! She had an X-ray taken which was really cool. It showed all of her teeth including the ones that haven't come in yet! Dr. Waite and his staff are kind and knowledgeable. Found out my daughter needs some an expander for her little jaw. Dr. Waite is awesome. He explained in detail all the steps of getting the expander and my kid is excited! I decided to go for it and get her treatment scheduled. They did this really cool scan of her teeth! She didn't need to take an impression which is great!! They also have a rewards program

We love Dr Waite and his staff! My seven year old daughter was very reluctant to start Phase 1 treatment for an under-bite, but Dr Waite and his staff are so great with kids! She warmed right up and now loves going to her appointment's. To me this was a miracle! They feel like family and they have fun reward systems for the kids. We've been going for treatment for over six months now and highly recommended them. I even had a retainer made for myself there, since I lost my old one. 5 stars for sure!
