BOARD CERTIFIED

Certified by the American Board of Orthodontics

Dr. Ngo is board certified by the American Board of Orthodontics, a distinction that reflects his dedication to providing exceptional orthodontic care. Here’s what that means for you and your family.

  • Education

    To prepare for board exams, orthodontists must undergo additional study on top of their orthodontic residency. This means they have a deeper understanding of facial anatomy and how it relates to the smile, so they can provide patients with exceptional care.

    Commitment

    Board certification is a voluntary achievement that only about 1 in 3 orthodontists complete. Certification must be renewed every 10 years, so board-certified orthodontists are constantly self-evaluating and keeping up wiht the latest in orthodontic techniques and technology.

    Peace of Mind

    When you go to a board-certified orthodontist, you’re choosing a highly trained professinoal at the top of their field. They will work with you to create a custom treatment plan that addresses the look of your smile, the functionality of your bite, the alignment of your jaw, and much more!
