Our primary goal at MacGinnis Orthodontics is to create beautiful, healthy smiles that will be valued for a lifetime!. Dr. Matthew MacGinnis is a board-certified orthodontist. Any general dentist who graduates from dental school and holds a license to practice dentistry can treat patients with braces or Invisalign.
But to be called an "orthodontist, " one must be trained in a 2-3 year full-time specialty course at an accredited orthodontic residency. Beyond the title of "orthodontist, " one can be certified by the American Board of Orthodontics (ABO). To become a certified orthodontist, one must voluntarily submit and pass a rigorous written and clinical examination process, which can take multiple years to complete.

Dr. Lee is an Orange County native and attended UCLA, where she graduated Cum Laude while majoring in Business Economics. After working as a financial analyst at a Big Four firm, she decided that her passion was actually in working with people and making them smile :. She decided to do a career change and wound up back at UCLA for dental school, graduating with honors from the Department of Orthodontics.
All orthodontists must be licensed to practice, but at this time only 1 in 3 orthodontists have continued on to complete Board Certification. The American Board of Orthodontics (ABO) certification process signifies a unique achievement-a significant step beyond the two to three years of advanced education required for a dentist to become a specialist in orthodontics.
Something that always makes me smile: Our chocolate lab, Dennis and our french mastiff, Gus. On my DVR you would find: Animal planet- The Bronx zoo, Fixer-Upper, -Gold rush+Alaska the last frontier. Best gift I ever received: In addition to my son, Nick and daughter Lauren was being able to travel and experiences different cultures.

I Would have no hesitation in recommending MacGinnis Orthodontics and his team. They are always professional, polite and considerate. The Front office is always accommodating to my schedule. I was kept informed about what to expect during treatment, never kept waiting beyond my appointment time and I’m delighted with my results so far.

Dr. Macginnis and his office staff were great to work with. Everyone in the office was friendly and ready to assist with any requests, from appointment changes to lost retainers, they were there to help. From the time my daughter started treatment through completion, everything went according to plan. It was laid out ahead of time and there were no unforeseen glitches or costs. The office is well organized and I was impressed with the flow of patients. Even though there were many patients, the office never seemed rushed or disorganized. I especially appreciated the brushing station where there

It is never too late for straight teeth! At nearly 70 years old, my family dentist suggested I get my bite corrected before repairing a chipped tooth. He referred me to MacGinnis Orthodontics. Dr. MacGinnis fitted me with Invisaligners, and within one year I had a perfectly aligned bite. I had always wanted my bottom teeth straightened, and, as a bonus, my morning headaches seem to be better when wearing my retainer! Thank you, MacGinnis staff!!! I highly recommend your services!
