Everything we do is for your smile. It's why we started this family practice, never dreaming it would become a Top 1% Invisalign Doctor office in North America. We just wanted to treat our patients like family - to make smiles happen from the moment you walk through our door. Introducing Dr. Robert and Dr. James Passamano, father and son team, and proud Top 1% Invisalign Doctors with over 1,000 successfully-treated Invisalign cases.
They have 9 National Invisalign publications, two Invisalign Clinical Excellence Awards, and a place in the Invisalign Hall of Fame (Yes, that's a thing).

Services
Passamano Orthodontics has been in the same Irvine location serving the families of Orange County for over 30 years. Dr. James and Robert Passamano work side by side as father and son to embody our mission statement while providing beautiful smiles to our patients. We feel honored to treat our friends, neighbors, and the Irvine community as we strive to deliver exceptional experiences and award-winning clinical excellence.
Metal and clear braces are the appliances that most people think of when they hear the word "braces." Braces are wire-based appliances that orthodontists use to correct crowded and misaligned teeth or jaws. Modern materials and technologies make the experience of having orthodontic braces much more comfortable than they were in the past.
From the moment you walk in the door, every member of our team is committed to creating the most positive experience possible. We believe orthodontic treatment should be customized for each individual, in a comfortable environment that puts you at ease. We're happy to answer any question you may have, and will work in coordination with your dentist to make sure your teeth are healthy for orthodontics.

Super friendly and knowledgeable, they make you feel welcomed. Initial consultation was honest and informative. I’m so glad I finally made the decision to get my bite fixed without surgery. The final result exceeded my expectations and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this office. I now look better than Brad Pitt! Thx everyone!

My 8 year old just got her first set of braces after a few months of expanders! The whole process has not been as daunting as most would expect. It's only been a few months and we're already noticing a HUGE difference in her teeth alignment and smile. They were so overcrowded before and she was already self conscious about her smile at such a young age. Back when we were kids, it was so nerdy to have braces. Now it's apparently a hot trend with the kids because all her friends want it now after seeing hers!! We are excited to see the final results when all this is done, but in the

THE BEST orthodontics service you will ever receive. Whether it'd be your first time, or your 2nd -they won't judge haha-, you're in great hands. I came here for my second ortho treatment after my teeth had relapsed. I went with the Invisalign route, but they have the most updated options for braces such as InBrace, and now offering 3D printed custom braces! Dr Passamano is very patient and detail oriented when it comes to your journey. He will explain each and every step he will be taking to make you feel at ease. Although I thought my teeth were basically finished with the Invisalign

Dr. [Robert] Passamano did amazing work on straightening my teeth. The Invisalign treatment was high-tech, convenient, and subtle. Dr. Passamano himself was straightforward, kind, and always available. Most important, he was attentive to any concerns I had throughout the treatment. Highly recommend him and Invisalign for anyone thinking about it. Big fan!

My journey to straight teeth only took me half the time I anticipated. The entire time of treatment I was well informed of exactly what to expect next. The staff here was all gentle and caring. Dr. Passamano is very positive and energetic. Sometimes it's easy to be a friendly dentist, but he is also an excellent dentist. I'd recommend anyone, any age, to this practice.

My experience at Passamano Orthodontics was terrific especially with Covid-19 concerns. Dr. Passamano and his staff were very professional in every way. The office was clean, and precautions were present during every visit. Eighteen months later Invisalign treatments had my teeth straightened and looking wonderful. I am overjoyed with the results!

The best orthodontist ever.
I had the best experience with Dr. Passamano and his team.
He is very professional and caring.
I had my invisalign with him.
I rushed him to finish my treatment earlier because I had to leave the country for a few months! He was so patient with me and did his best to do everything in a best way! My teeth look very beautiful and I love my smile. Thank you very much Dr. Passmano for your care and attention to your patients and treating them like family.

100 % recommend Dr. Passamano! I've had braces before (not with Dr. Passamano) and they didn't do a good job because after going to Dr. Passamano, I believe I have achieved the perfect smile. Before I went to Dr. Passamano, I had a small gap between my front teeth due to some bad fillings. I've asked my dentist to give me veneers but my dentist recommended Dr. Passamano. Not only did Dr. Passamano closed my front teeth gap, he also fixed some back teeth issues. I cannot say how happy I am with my smile now!! Thank you so much! Also hands down the best and sweetest people working

Friendly, professional, and excellent care! I had braces with Dr. Passamano from 2006-2008 and had a wonderful experience. I went back in Feb of 2021 to get an updated retainer and I was struck by how happy, helpful, and knowledgable the staff continue to be all these years later. I would highly recommend them, both for their orthodontic care and their willingness to continue to support their customers, even 13 years later!

So grateful for the Passamano crew! I had an emergency patient that needed assistance during our office closure. Passamano orthodontics was more than willing to help us out even as a competing office. During these times kindness goes such a long way. Not only was I grateful for them helping out my patient in need, but the parents were even more blown away by their willingness to help their child, even though they weren’t a patient there. Teamwork really does make the dream work. Thank you again for helping our office out!

Dr. Passamano and the team have been absolutely great. I spent years frustrated with my smile and bite. I went to several dentist and they had suggested that surgery or more invasive methods were my only real options, all of which were not realistic for me. I went to Dr Passamano and he laid out a great plan using Invisalign that fit my needs both from an end result and being not extremely invasive. All my goals were achieved and my smile has never looked better. I would recommend anyone to Passamano Orthodontics.

Dr. Robert Passamano and his staff are excellent! I can't say enough about how professional, honest, and caring he and his staff members are. The office is run very efficiently and extremely clean with precautions for COVID prevention. Dr. Passamano has treated me for the past several years with invisalign correction. Last week was one of my last visits. Laurie was extremely thorough explaining the last phase. I would highly recommend any child, teen, or adult with orthodontic needs to Dr Passamano.
Thank you for your excellent care!!

I took my daughters to Dr. Passamano for consultation. His staff were so professional and nice. Dr. Passamano was very knowledgeable, courteous and kind. He explained all the necessary details to us and showed all the 3D images.
I highly recommend him as he is very honest, trustable, and experienced in his field.

My girls are 8 and 10. My husband scheduled their first appointment with Dr. James, because long ago he was my husband's ortho. Dr. James gave us a wonderful first time experience. He took the fear right out of us with his positive energy and wisdom.
Thank you for taking the time to get to know us as people and not just just teeth!

Final update. I'm scheduled to get my braces/invisalign off in a couple of days. As far as my experience of having work done here goes, it's been pretty fantastic. My teeth look great. I always felt welcomed between the front desk staff to the ones in the back. I never felt like a number, and most importantly, when I felt I needed to be heard, they listened. One more thing, as far as appointments go, they're really great about it. They don't overbook. So you never have to wait long like I typically experience at other medical/dental offices.
