Everything about S&D Orthodontics is amazing! From start to finish, they take care of you in the best way. During my treatment, I moved out of state, and they made the entire process super smooth with telehealth appointments and went above and beyond to make sure I was 100% satisfied with the treatment. I highly recommend them and have nothing but amazing things to say! Thank you S&D!

I’m so glad I started Invisalign treatment with Sons and Daughters orthodontics. The initial consult was thorough, and they used really cool digital simulations so I could see what my smile would look like after treatment. The other thing I loved is that they customized my treatment experience with virtual care, so I don't need to come into the office while the keep track of my progress. I can already see my upper arch expanding and more teeth when I smile so I'm really happy with the results in a short period of time. Office was very high tech and staff super friendly.

Our entire family (2 adults and 2 kids) has been/are patients at Sons & Daughters. We highly recommend their practice and truly have no complaints. They are extremely friendly and welcoming and so accommodating when scheduling appointments. They do their best to make things as simple and streamlined for you as possible. The professionalism and kindness can't be beat. We couldn't ask for a better team to work with.

Look no further for an orthodontist! Sons and Daughters is, by far, the best Orthodontic office around. Taking my special needs son to Dr Nguyen has been one of the best decisions I’ve made in a long time. They are so friendly and inviting that they make us feel like family. Somehow, they always remember my sons name (even when we run into them outside as they’re returning from lunch!). As far as his teeth go, the transformation has already been incredible. Dr Nguyen takes things step by step so as not to overwhelm and her staff is always so caring and gentle (and quick!) with my son. I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else.
Hands down the best place to receive orthodontic treatment! I have been seeing Sons & Daughters for the past 2 years for my braces and could not have been happier with choosing them. The staff are extremely kind, knowledgeable, friendly, and just all-around wonderful people who provide amazing, quality, care. I have referred multiple friends to Sons & Daughters, and they all have been pleased with the care. Not to mention, the office is extremely clean with cutting edge technology. If you are considering on receiving orthodontic treatment, this is the absolute place to go!

Stop searching you have found the best possible option! From consultation to retainers, you will experience great satisfaction knowing that you have made the right choice. The staff is top notch, assistants are kind, gentle, and highly skilled. The Orthodontists work as a team and are the very best of the best!!! I was fortunate enough to have Christine as my assistant and Doctor Lee. Their combined efforts resulted in me being so satisfied that I decided against getting veneers!!!! Not only did did this group of professionals meet my expectations, they made exceeding them look easy. Treat yourself to the best of the best today!

We love Sons and Daughters! We appreciate their willingness to work with us, the ease of scheduling appointments, including emergency visits, and making my kid feel comfortable and safe during every step of the process. They take their time and are always kind, patient, and go the extra mile. 100% would recommend.

So grateful that I stumbled upon Sons and Daughters while searching for an Invisalign office. I started my journey in February of 2023, and I am almost half way through it while being 4,000 miles away. I am someone who is very picky about my teeth and I have never felt more comfortable in the care of Sons and Daughters. We have been able to communicate through zoom calls and virtual care that has made it so streamlined and easy.

We’ve been coming here for the past 3 years for our teens Invisalign, the absolute BEST orthodontist office with the most friendly and knowledgeable staff. We love the new location and the set-up is so welcoming, nice and modern! Every time we get a new set for him, we always appreciate that Dr. Nguyen and staff really take the time to explain every step of what they do during each visit and set expectations for future care. Definitely recommend this place to all our friends and family! ❤️

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would in a heartbeat. I trust Sons and Daughters whole heartedly with my smile. They have completely transformed my bottom teeth and have given me a better bite (which so many people don't even realize their bite is off!!) I was a complicated patient who had a missing adult tooth (I am 26yrs old), so they handled all the communication with my dentist and oral surgeon - making the process a breeze of not only doing Invisalign but getting a crown as well at the same time. They make the impossible, POSSIBLE.

“I feel so fortunate being able to do what I do! As an orthodontist, I am constantly reminded of the life-changing effect that we can have on people’s lives. We play an integral role in transforming our patients’ smiles and enhancing their self-confidence.
Best of all, since building a perfect smile takes time and precision, I really get to know my patients and they really get to know me. Developing long-term relationships is the greatest perk of my job. I treat each patient, no matter their age, as I would a member of my own family: with compassion, tender care, and as conservatively as possible.
When not practicing orthodontics, my life revolves around my wonderful husband Luong and our three sons, Jonah, Micah and Oliver. My favorite past times include traveling to exciting destinations and trying out new foods.”

“There’s nothing more rewarding to me than knowing you have helped improve the life of another person. In orthodontics, every day I get a chance to help someone feel that way. In the midst of working to create a healthy and beautiful smile, the most beautiful transformation is watching how much this translates into a patient’s personality and confidence.
When not practicing orthodontics, my life is consumed by my beautiful wife Cindy and my amazing three children, Caleb, Christopher and Caris. My favorite sports teams are the Lakers, Dodgers, 49ers and anything UCLA, go Bruins!”

Wynter
DIRECTOR OF SMILES
Bio:
I have had the pleasure of directing smile transformations for more than 18 years. I’ve worked in every role of an Orthodontics office and I’m still eager to learn about new techniques or products to improve the process. I love the excitement that surrounds the journey of Orthodontics, the anticipation in the beginning, the dedication it takes during the monthly treatment visits and the reward at the end when another Son or Daughter reveals a beaming smile to their mom and dad! Being a part of Sons and Daughters is my most rewarding journey yet. My role is to educate my patients on everything from understanding how braces work and how to care for them to maximizing insurance benefits to keep their cost down. I know this is a big decision for you and your family, so I am here to guide you through every step! If I am not at work you can find me cheering for my daughter at her softball games or curling my toes in the sand soaking up the California sunshine. My family is my source of joy and the roots behind my dedication to excellence. Our name says it all!We are all Sons and Daughters and are all blessed by the smiles that surround us everyday at work, school and home!“Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.”

Christina
SMILE LAB EXPERT
Bio:
To the field of Orthodontics I am no stranger. Starting my journey to become a Registered Dental Assistant in 2002, I had no interest in any other field of dentistry other than orthodontics. The idea that the transformation of a smile could change a person’s confidence and self-esteem is something I knew I wanted to be a part of. Aside from this reward, developing sincere relationships with patients along their journey is something I look forward to; being able to relate to their orthodontic and personal experiences. I am excited to embrace the new advances that have and are continuing to emerge in orthodontics. I value honesty, morality and quality of work. Here at Sons & Daughters I can say that I confidently refer my family, friends and acquaintances. To be involved with a team who’s desire and excitement for our patient’s success (clinically and personally) is such a blessing! Though I am a Bryson and am married to my best friend and High School sweetheart, Everett, I proudly wear the name of Christ. Outside of the office you will usually find me on the basketball court cheering on my two sons, Everett Jadyn and Earl Jaryn. Included in my family is Inoki, our blue nose pitt bull. Additionally, I am an old soul and enjoy listening to classics from Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Sam Cooke and many more.

Hello. I’m Haley! I haven’t been in orthodontics for that long but I’ve been interested in the field ever since I began my own braces journey. I’m very blessed to have the opportunity of being a part of such an amazing team here at Sons & Daughters Orthodontics. I’ve learned so much in such a short amount of time thanks to everyone and I still have a lot to learn! One of the many amazing things I get to witness here is the beautiful transformation of every smile. Outside of the office, I am a teacher and leader at my church, but I spend most of my time chasing after my happiness. My ultimate goal in life is to be content with who I am, where I’m at, and everything I’m blessed with. I love spending time with my family and friends, eating, reading, and hiking. One day, I’d love to travel the world.

Bio:
I found my passion for orthodontics nearly 20 years ago. Seeing the transformation people go through when they achieve their “dream smile” is amazing and I love being a part of it! I have worked every position in an orthodontic office: from sterilization to the clinical assistant, to treatment coordinator, and to my current role as the benefits coordinator. I love being a part of a team that shares my excitement for creating beautiful smiles and providing patients with an exceptional experience.
When I’m not at the office, I spend my free time with my family watching movies, baking goodies, attending my kids’ sports events or being outdoors.

I’m so lucky to have received the opportunity to start my orthodontic career with Sons and Daughters in 2021. I have been with this amazing office for a few years now and I absolutely love that I get to call this place my second home AND get to enjoy everyday with our work fam. I’ve learned so much from this incredible team and made such special friendships with our patients; I’m so beyond grateful that I get to be a part of the S&D fam with you all!
When I’m not in the office you can also catch me hanging out with my friends at Wild Goose or some local breweries, posting (poorly put together) cooking tutorials on my IG stories, going to football & baseball games, or out at a concert (I highly recommend seeing Zach Bryan or Akon live, if you can). I also have my own photography and wedding planning/coordinating business, Madly & Co., to keep me busy on the weekends!
I’ll be the one greeting you at the front desk, come by and say hi!
Lili
SMILE ASSISTANT
Bio:
Hello! I’m Lili. I’m a CSULB Biochemistry major graduate working towards getting into the dental profession. Dentistry has always been a love of mine since elementary.
It’s been such a pleasure working at S&D for the past 6 months. I have had the opportunity to shadow different specialties but S&D Orthodontics makes me want to pursue my career in Ortho. I love the patient interactions pre, during and post treatment. AND Dr. Nguyen, Dr. Lee and Dr. Smiley are amazing doctors/teachers. I couldn’t have had a better opportunity working and learning the ortho experience.
Outside of my education and dentistry, I have three other important things that matter the most to me. 1) I am currently the chapter president (2 years) for my church’s Vietnamese Eucharist Youth Movement. I love being that role model/big sister for the youth. 2) I’m a big fitness/gym advocate. I love going to the gym. It‘s always the highlight of my day. You can ask me anything and I’ll ramble. 3) My family is my rock. My siblings are everything to me. Let me tell you, being the older sister isn’t easy but it does come with rewards when you see the impact you make on them.
Welcome to Sons and Daughters Orthodontics, come by soon!
Ivy
SMILE LAB EXPERT
Bio:
Hi friends, my name is Ivy and I am one of the orthodontist assistants here at Sons and Daughters! I have been in this field for about 2 years now, more to come ~
I became interested in orthodontics because I, myself had braces and loved the environment and energy that my orthodontist office had. Seeing the confidence that grew in me throughout my treatment is what I want to see for my patients as well. I love creating new relationships and helping people. Nothing is more rewarding than being a part of someone’s exciting journey in braces/Invisalign and seeing their amazing smile at the end!
Prior to working in Orthodontics, I worked in the food industry.
I worked at In N Out and Din Tai Fung, so you can bet customer care is my #1 priority! I always strive that my patients leave happy and feel well taken care of!
When I am not at work, you can find me at restaurants trying new food with my friends (If you have any favorite food spots, don’t be shy and share!) other than that, I also enjoy spending quality time with my family if I’m not out and about with my friends.

Hi! My name is Lily and I have been with the amazing team at Sons and Daughters since the beginning of February 2024 ~ Although I have been a previous patient with braces when I was younger, this is my first time working in the Orthodontic field and I feel so blessed to have received this opportunity. I have enjoyed every step of my Orthodontic journey with SND thus far, from interacting with patients and seeing their smile transform by the end of their treatment, and I look forward to learning much more while I’m here! Outside of the office, some things I enjoy doing are finding good eats with my friends and family, or simply watching a good show on Netflix. I love watching K-Dramas and some of my personal favorites include Descendants of the Sun, Weightlifting Fairy, and Crash Landing on You. In the near future, I hope I’m able to travel and see more of the world!

I’ve been in the world of dentistry for 20 years. The first 5 years were spent in general dentistry working alongside dentists, assisting with procedures such as cleanings, root canals, fillings etc. I also gave other specialties a whirl and found my true joy and passion once I worked in orthodontics. This is where I’ve been the last 15 years, helping to create amazing smiles and seeing people’s self esteem improve. It makes me thrilled to be a part of their journey and see their incredible transformation and to see their true personality shine. What I enjoy most about working in the field of orthodontics is getting to know each patient individually and working with them step by step to achieve a beautiful new smile.
Away from the office I enjoy spending time with my adorable boys, family and friends. I also enjoy hiking, cheering on the boys in blue (Go Dodgers!), traveling and checking out the best breakfast/brunch, spot as savory and sweet dishes are my jam!
