Meet Dr. Chan

I love being an orthodontist!

It is wonderful to get know my patients, learn about each person’s life and experiences, and to build a relationship over time. It is so special to be able to help transform a person’s smile, to help them look and feel amazing and to have greater confidence in themselves.

Orthodontics is a special blend of health, science, and art. Each patient’s situation is unique, and I enjoy the journey from start to finish to create a healthy, stable, beautiful smile.
