I visited three other places before making my decision to choose Dr. Lin. Dr. Lin is so patient and sweet. He has the best prices for braces. I got my braces and now I'm getting my daughter and son to get theirs too.

GOT BRACES FROM DR. LIN DURING MY PRE TEEN TO TEEN YEARS AND I ABSOLUTELY REGRET IT ONLY BECAUSE I DONT SEE THE NEED FOR IT. I DONT HAVE A DENTIST/ORTHODONTIST LICENSE AND EVEN I KNOW I DIDNT NEED TO GET TOP AND BOTTOM ROW OF BRACES WHEN MY TEETH WERENT IN BAD CONDITION. I JUST HAD ONE UPPER TEETH THAT GREW INWARD EVERYTHING ELSE WAS PERFECT YET I HAD TO GET BRACES ON MY BOTTOM ROW OF TEETH AS WELL WHICH TO ME BECAUSE ITS MY FACE I SEE IT ALL THE TIME CHANGED MY FACE SHAPE (AND NOT FOR THE BETTER). ITS JUST WEIRD. WOULDN'T RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO MY WORST ENEMY. HES CHEAP FOR A REASON. LEAVE IT TO AN ASIAN DENTIST TO CONSIDER PROFIT BEFORE PATIENT WOW SURPRISING. NOT. SURPRISED HES STILL IN BUSINESS. IF YOU COULD AFFORD BRACES GET INVISALIGN. UPDATE: THE GUY ISNT CERTIFIED BY THE AMERICAN BOARD OF ORTHODONTISTS SO THAT SHOULD TELL YOU ABOUT HIM AND HIS LACK OF PROFESSIONALISM MAYBE EVEN HIS PSYCHE/MENTALITY

I hope this serves as a cautionary tale for those seeking orthodontic work. Many years ago in my adolescence, circa 2007, I had the misfortune of having Dr. Lin do my braces. Like many other misfortunate souls I was cursed with an overbite, malocclusion, etc. My parents were referred to this place by some family-friend since we had recently moved to the area and were unfamiliar with orthodontists in the area. As other reviewers may have noted, Dr. Lin may have the lowest braces but buyer beware - that tradeoff is made with quality. Even with an appointment, expect to wait more than 20 minutes to an hour just for a regular checkup. The office is generally high volume which I imagine is to offset their lower braces costs. Dr. Lin generally did not ever seem to bother explaining in detail what the treatment plan was or the procedure being done for that day's appointment, sometimes it seemed like he was just making it up as he was going along. For a period of time I had to wear bands on some of my front teeth and they had to be looped in a certain configuration. Dr. Lin merely applied the bands on, then expected me to immediately memorize the positions from a brief glance in the mirror before he scurried off, much like the other bugs and insects in his office, to the next room. Having braces during adolescence is the dread of teenagers but having them done by Dr. Lin turned it almost into a nightmare. After nearly 3 years they were finally removed but it was not without problems. No mention had been made by Dr. Lin of the apparent midline shift in my top row of teeth, or my peg lateral incisor. It was only after that point that I realized Dr. Lin probably views his patients as walking bank accounts.Take your money elsewhere. If you have kids, consult with a more reputable orthodontist - you will be glad when your children do not resent you in the future. Braces, or dental work for that matter, is definitely not cheap, but just remember you get what you pay for sometimes.
