About Kai Orthodontics Hawaii
Dr. Lisa Kai Klosterman takes a holistic approach to orthodontics, addressing jaw and airway health and closing posterior open bites in young children, not just straightening teeth.
Reviews highlight a holistic approach that looks at jaw alignment, airway, and overall health alongside tooth movement, with cases like resolving jaw clicking and closing posterior open bites in two children. Dr. Lisa Kai Klosterman is noted for extending treatment beyond the original aligner rounds when needed to get a better result and for checking in with patients between appointments. Families with young children and adults revisiting relapsed bites both appear in the reviews, and several mention affordable care and a clean, professional office.

I had braces as a kid but never wore my retainer, so everything shifted back. My dentist referred me to Kai Orthodontics for bite issues, and honestly I wasn't sure I even needed to go. But I'm really glad I did. Dr. Lisa and her team are so personable and actually get to know you. She always asks me how my toddler is doing, which just says a lot about the kind of place this is. It feels like family in there. What stands out the most is that Dr. Lisa genuinely cares about the result. After my OrthoFX aligners were technically done, she wasn't satisfied with how things looked yet, so she put me through more rounds on her own call. Her recommendations never feel cookie-cutter, it really feels like she's paying attention to YOUR teeth and YOUR situation. You never feel rushed either. I'm almost done with treatment now and everything is looking great. If you've been going back and forth about whether to do it, just go. You'll be in good hands.

I love Kai orthodontics! They are always so kind and welcoming! Dr. Lisa is super caring and understanding and truly gets to know you on a personal level! The front staff is always so helpful with cost and any treatment inquires or questions you may have. I Originally went in for a solution to my clicking jaw I’ve had for a long time (middle school). Dr. Kai recommended treatment and I accepted and I am approaching halfway with my treatment and my clicking Jaw has went away due to recommended treatment working! Next step Invisalign! Can’t wait for the final product!
