About Bright Now! Dental & Orthodontics - Federal Way, WA
Braces treatment timelines here often stretch out, with reviews pointing to the orthodontist's limited weekly schedule as a recurring source of delay.
This dental practice also offers traditional braces, clear aligners, TMJ treatment, and retainers alongside its regular dental services. Reviews frequently mention that orthodontic and other treatment plans run longer than expected, often tied to a limited weekly orthodontist schedule or fragmented scheduling across specialists. Many reviewers describe staff who remember patients by name and a clean, bright office with a pleasant atmosphere, and Dr. Chong Lee is repeatedly described as gentle and patient with anxious patients. A notable number of reviews also raise concerns about billing surprises and unclear pricing.

It didn’t start off well but after I made a phone call to delta dental to be put on your list I was still able to be seen for my appointment. The staff was good to me it’s been 25 years since I’ve been to the dentist I still have all my teeth even after 20 years of serious drug use and no 22 years clean and sober
