Services
Dr. Wang has over 20 years of experience as an orthodontist, and she reviews all diagnostic records to formulate a plan that is best for the present and future treatment of each patient. Each malocclusion is different, and each plan is individualized. The braces and wires we use to straighten the teeth move them faster and with less discomfort than traditional braces due to the gentle forces and super elasticity of the wires.
We chose Dr. Vicki Wang after consulting with two other orthodontists. She is knowledgeable, skilled and has such a gentle bedside manner! She has a way of connecting with her patients (and their parents) and putting everyone at ease. She thoroughly walked us through our treatment options with visual aids and videos and expertly addressed all our questions.
We look forward to meeting you at your first visit to our office. During this time, we will help you get acquainted with our office and learn about your orthodontic treatment. We understand that each patient's orthodontic treatment is different, and we promise to give you the personal attention you deserve.
No, it is not. Many of our patients are referred by their family dentist, yet many other patients take the initiative to schedule an examination themselves. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an orthodontic screening at age 7. By this age, several permanent teeth in most children have erupted, allowing us to effectively evaluate your orthodontic condition.
When a person's teeth or jaws do not fit together properly, orthodontic treatment may be necessary to correct the problem. If left untreated, these orthodontic problems, often referred to as malocclusions, can cause speech difficulty, premature wear of the teeth and protective enamel, and even increase the chance of injury to the teeth and jaw joints.

Friendly and helpful Staff. I had my braces installed here and the staff was very helpful and calming. They gave me tons of things to help me transition into the braces management lifestyle and are very funny and friendly. Im happy with their services and always look forward to getting my braces adjusted due to the simple fact that the Dentist and her assistance will be friendly and welcoming.

I truly dislike the formalities we have to take when it comes to medical and dental stuff. I lost my essix retainer, however I have impressions of my teeth when my braces were taken off. I know for a fact essix retainers can be crafted from using those impressions. All i wanted from this place was to make a set of new retainers...that all I needed, and id be willing to pay out of pocket. However they insisted that I need to have an examination and impressions made... WHY would you make impressions of my teeth and make retainers out of them, AFTER my teeth have shifted??? when I have a beautiful

Dr. Parker, you are the best! I love your team and thank you all for an overall fantastic experience. Going to your office is like receiving an orthodontic spa treatment. Relaxed vibe and state-of-the-art equipment complemented by a stellar team that eats and breathes customer service excellence! If you are a young Baby Boomer with dancing teeth in the lower area or have a youngster with a gap, go there. They will take excellent care of all of your orthodontic needs!

There aren't enough stars for this place! Dr. Parker is super nice, and he really knows what he is doing! My son got his braces in 2009 and had the taken off earlier this year. Dr. Parker is still seeing my son periodically to make sure his retainers are working properly.
We all know that getting braces is costly and dental insurances doesn't cover very much, at least mine didn't....Dr. Parker worked out a payment plan that really worked for us, making it affordable, which was awesome.
All his staff is very nice and accommodating.

What? I need braces? Noooooo!
When I found out that I needed braces to fix a jaw problem, I was terrified. I have to have those suckers on for two whole years. That's a long time. Considering how much I love my smile already, why do I need to have braces? I should've taken more calcium pills when I was little.
When I walked into Dr. Parker's office, I was surprise of how nice everyone was. Although I felt a bit pressured to get braces, Dr. Parker seem very experienced at what he does. He makes sure that he does a good job and that everything is in the right place.
