About Northwest Orthodontics
Dr. Vonny Ngantung is noted for extending timelines to get finishing details right, especially on Invisalign and clear aligner cases here in Salem.
Northwest Orthodontics sees a heavy mix of Invisalign and clear aligner patients alongside traditional braces, and reviews often point to noticeably straighter results and improved bites by the end of treatment. Dr. Vonny Ngantung is frequently described as detail-oriented, sometimes adjusting rubber band schedules or extending treatment slightly to get the finish right before removing braces. Families also mention payment plans and free follow-up exams that keep costs manageable for those without insurance, and the office offers appointment flexibility across two locations.

They are very understanding and willing to work with your budget, offering flexible payment plans to accommodate financial situations. They are also very considerate when it comes to scheduling, often providing appointment options outside of regular hours to suit busy lifestyles. This is a great place to get braces, with a friendly and professional team. I love Dr. Vonny, who is very understanding, attentive, and caring, making sure each patient feels comfortable and well-informed throughout the treatment process.
