About Baum Orthodontics- Irvine

Multi-phase braces cases move steadily over years under Dr. Douglas Baum, with reviews describing little discomfort along the way and confident, straighter results.

Long-term, multi-phase braces treatment is common here, with reviews noting that braces go on quickly at the start and progress steadily through the years that follow. Many describe the process as surprisingly comfortable with little discomfort, and a good number credit Dr. Douglas Baum with straighter teeth and a real boost in confidence by the end. He's also noted for handling sensitivity issues gently and working well with children on challenging cases.

My kids both have braces through Baum and both kids are very different--in pain tolerance and also care of the braces. Dr. Baum and his team are so kind and patient. I can't say enough about all the thoughtful touches in the office and care and how responsive and helpful the team is! One of my kids has a very challenging case- and Dr. Baum took the time to really explain and give us options for care. Highly recommended! Shout out to Tina for being so patient and getting us in whether it's a broken wire or something else!

My family has always had an incredible experience here. The staff here is super kind and professional. Usually, people think that getting Invisalign or braces would be such a pain, but the staff here truly makes it a stress-free process. They always try to make the atmosphere super fun with all the decorations, so I would REALLY recommend them to a friend.

The front desk at their orthodontic clinic never seems to understand a word I say. I just want to schedule an appointment—I ask if there's anything earlier, I try to confirm a treatment time—but they always act annoyed and just tell me 'two weeks from now or I don't know.‘

We’ve had a great experience with my son’s orthodontic treatment here. From day one, Dr.Baum and his staff were professional, kind, and incredibly patient with him. They took the time to explain the process clearly and made sure both my son and I felt comfortable and informed. Appointments are well organized, the office runs on time, and the staff is always welcoming. My son feels at ease during visits, which makes a huge difference as a parent. We’re very happy with the progress so far and truly appreciate the care and attention we’ve received. Highly recommend Dr.Baum’s office to any parents looking for an orthodontist who is knowledgeable, caring, and great with kids.
