Where exactly is the office?

Do you have clear or ceramic braces?
Yes. Clear and ceramic braces use tooth-colored brackets that are far less noticeable than metal, and they are a common choice for adults and older teens. Invisalign clear aligners are the other discreet route. Dr. Chang will walk you through which fits your bite at the free consultation.
How much do braces and Invisalign cost?
Braces start at $299 per month, or $199 per month with insurance. Invisalign starts at $349 per month, or $249 per month with insurance. We offer in-house financing and accept most major insurance plans. You get exact pricing at the free consultation. See cost and financing.
Do you treat adults as well as kids?
Yes, all ages. Kids and teens are the heart of the practice, and Dr. Chang also handles adult braces, aesthetic aligners, complex bite correction and retreatment for adults whose teeth moved after earlier orthodontic work.
When should my child first be seen?
Around age 7, while jaw growth can still be guided. That is when crowding, bite problems and airway concerns are easiest to address. See early orthodontic treatment and braces for kids.
Are there appointments that work around school?
Yes. After-school times are available and wait times are kept short. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Call or text (650) 598-0888 and the team will find a slot that works for the drive down from San Mateo.
