About Irvine Tooth Cafe & Orthodontics
A steady stream of adult patients seek out Invisalign and braces here, alongside kids handled by Dr. Huang, Dr. Bui, and Dr. Sona in a cafe-style office.
Irvine Tooth Cafe & Orthodontics draws a notably high share of adult patients seeking Invisalign and traditional braces, alongside families bringing multiple kids through treatment. The office's cafe-like atmosphere and modern equipment, including in-house crown milling, come up often as making visits feel less clinical. Reviewers point to the doctors' willingness to take on complex cases and their habit of texting personal follow-ups after appointments, and results are frequently described as dramatic even when treatment wraps up in about a year.

My daughter has wonderful orthodontics experience here. From initial consultations/treatment plan discussion, to every step of procedure, Dr. Huang and her technicians treated us with much care and attention. They make sure us understand the purpose of each treatment and remind us the self-care at home. We definitely would recommend the place to our friends!

Dr. Bui and her team are nothing short of professional while still making me feel heard and comfortable at the same time. Highly recommend her and her team. The work has yet to let me down and never feel taken advantage of.
