About SMB Orthodontics, P.A.

Kids just starting phase-one care often get singled out for how comfortable the office makes them, with Dr. Edwin Lee handling more complex bite corrections.

SMB Orthodontics sees a large share of young patients, and reviews note the office is set up to make early treatment approachable, from arcade games in the waiting room to developmentally appropriate explanations during exams. Dr. Edwin Lee, who took over after the retirement of the practice's former doctors, is described as thorough and skilled at handling complex bite issues, and appointments are said to run close to schedule. A number of reviews also mention multi-year cases where bite and jaw problems were corrected, though a few note lingering bite concerns or a treatment that felt rushed near the end.

Edwin Lee pulled down a tooth that should not have been pulled down then suggested filing it on both sides to reduce gum gap. This led to all kinds of problems with a cavity and lifelong problems with my bite. He rushed through the eval and I paid the price. He should have just pushed the tooth back up. He should have reviewed the xray first before pulling it down.

They have made a solid professional advice that helped my son to straighten his teeth with retainers without putting braces second time.

Dr Lee and all his team from front desk to all associates are doing a fantastic job from time you are in till you are out. My son had a serious bite issue and over 2 years he can now have a bite on a tough piece of steak :). Thank you Dr l Lee and to the front desk stuff mainly Ms Amina for all the help you provide to your patients.

We had an amazing initial appointment. My kiddo was nervous walking in but as soon as he saw the Pac-man game in the lobby all nervousness disappeared. And then we got to meet Brandy who is just a treasure. She was so kind, patient, and friendly. She walked my kiddo through all the steps, explained things in a very developmentally appropriate way, and made the appointment fun. As we were leaving the appointment (after discussing putting a lot of metal in my child’s mouth) he was begging to come back here every single day. Brandy walked us through the proposed plan with details on costs and payment options. There was never an ounce of pressure which I truly appreciate. 10/10 experience.
