About J.C. Cadena DDS MS
Dr. Cadena takes on complex cases like double jaw surgery and adult relapse, and many families start phase-one treatment while kids are still young.
Dr. Cadena is described as handling difficult orthodontic cases, including open bites, jaw surgery, and adults returning to fix teenage relapse. Early, phase-one treatment for young children comes up far more than typical, and several reviews mention siblings from the same family being treated over time. The office is noted for its updated technology, including ceiling TVs and a snack area, and staff are described as communicating with families in Spanish when preferred.

Fantastic doctor and team! My teeth look amazing!! Thank you!! I am so happy with my smile! The doctor and staff are always warm and friendly. My daughter is having her teeth adjusted as well and my son will soon also. Mr. Cadena came highly recommended by my dentist.
Dr Cadena treated me with Invisalign aligners about 6 years ago( long overdue review) He was honest from day one about the treatment, expectations, cost. His staff was very professional, very kind and friendly. Dr Cadena treated me with the utmost respect, patience, and always explaining what’s happening. He’s funny too! His honesty earned my trust and I have recommended his practice to friends. I am due for another visit and I know I am under excellent care ! Thank you Dr Cadena and staff!
I highly recommend Dr. Cadena and the entire team! Everyone is very kind and helpful. I’ve gone for retainer checks/ adjustments and always leave feeling great about how the retainer fits. Even though I got my braces off years ago, making sure my retainer fits properly is always a priority; Dr. Cadena always makes sure the retainer fits properly and will keep my teeth in place.
