Dr. Merilynn Yamada and her staff is pretty great This is my second orthodontic work cuz I was one of those loosing their retainers when younger lol and also she did a different approach to help make space in my mouth to improve my sleep apnea. And the results were BETTER than the original time I had braces. After I had started with the treatment I went to an ENT to work on other aspects of my airway healing journey about my sleep apnea and breathing and he said that the job being done in my teeth and bite correction was great and that eventually it was going to be needed. Another thing I liked about this team is that they work with Invisalign and Vivera for retainers which is great based on the research I did. If you go to a place where they make their own retainers be skeptical cuz is not always done well. Rescheduling appointments were a bit tricky sometimes in terms of dates available but overall I highly recommend them. Im very happy with the experience and the results. Oh and they also celebrate you for completing the treatment and that is pretty cool

I came here just to get a retainer because I had braces 10 years ago. Other orthodontists would not make me a retainer without putting me in full braces first. My teeth are perfectly straight so Dr. Yamada simply made me a new retainer without pressuring me to do any other work on my teeth. She pays attention to detail and treats you as a whole person rather than a set of teeth.

For me it has been a blessing to have found this beautiful clinic of Dr. Yamada. I had a bad procedure done in my orthodontic treatment and the doctor found the most intelligent procedure to solve it successfully. All the work staff is very friendly professional and the best
