About Kim Orthodontics

Invisalign treatment for complex bite cases, including underbite and overbite corrections without surgery, paired with app-based remote monitoring for patients living or traveling off-island.

This practice relies heavily on Invisalign, using it even for complex bite corrections that reviews say avoided surgery or extractions. Remote monitoring through an app, weekly at-home scans, and multiple office locations let patients continue treatment while overseas or juggling busy schedules. Early phase 1 treatment for young children comes up often, with notes about gamified aligner tracking and goodie bags easing kids into the process. Appointments are frequently described as running on time, with quick responses to questions between visits.

I had such an amazing experience at Kim Orthodontist! 🥰 My treatment took about 2 years, and I am so incredibly happy with my results. My smile has given me so much more confidence, and I no longer feel embarrassed or shy about smiling. Dr. Kim was always so kind and attentive throughout my entire treatment. He always made sure to ask if I had any concerns or questions and took the time to make sure I was comfortable and well taken care of. I truly felt like I was in good hands every step of the way. The staffs are also absolutely wonderful! Everyone is so friendly, welcoming, and genuinely caring. They always made me feel comfortable and made every visit a pleasant experience. You can really tell that they care about their patients and want you to be happy with your results. I’m so grateful to Dr. Kim and the entire team for helping me achieve a smile I’m proud of. Thank you for taking such great care of me throughout these 2 years! I highly recommend Kim Orthodontist to anyone looking for an orthodontist! ❤️🦷✨

We heard from our dentist friends that Dr. Kim is the BEST in the business. We live on the Big Island and fly up to O'ahu to see him because he truly is. He transformed my oldest daughter's smile dramatically and gave her so much confidence as she entered middle school at a new school. Dr. Kim and the rest of the team have become family to us and we are so grateful.
