How much do braces or clear aligners cost at Kim Family Orthodontics?
Kim Family Orthodontics offers flexible payment options and 0% in-house financing with no interest, making treatment affordable for every budget. The practice works directly with your dental insurance provider to maximize your benefits and is in-network with many insurance companies. Because orthodontic treatment is highly personalized, exact costs vary based on your specific needs and treatment plan. Dr. Kim offers a free initial consultation where you'll receive a transparent cost estimate tailored to your situation. The practice is known for working within patients' budgets and never pushing unnecessary treatment.
What should I expect during my first visit?
Your first visit is a complimentary consultation where Dr. Kim will evaluate your orthodontic needs and discuss treatment options. The practice uses digital impressions (no messy traditional molds) and digital X-rays for a comfortable, modern diagnostic experience. Dr. Kim will explain whether you truly need treatment (he's known for his honest approach), what options are available (clear aligners, traditional braces, or both), estimated treatment timeline, and transparent pricing. You'll meet the friendly staff, tour the newly renovated office, and leave with a clear understanding of your path to a beautiful smile—no pressure to commit.
Do you offer clear aligners like Invisalign, or only traditional braces?
Kim Family Orthodontics offers both clear aligner systems and traditional metal braces, giving patients options based on their lifestyle, budget, and orthodontic needs. Clear aligners are thin, nearly invisible trays ideal for those wanting discreet treatment. Traditional metal braces can solve nearly every tooth alignment issue and are often the most cost-effective option. Dr. Kim will assess your specific case and recommend the best approach—many patients start with one treatment and transition to another as needed. The practice uses advanced technology like digital impressions and 3D printing to ensure precise, comfortable treatment with either option.
Who is Dr. Kim's practice best for?
Kim Family Orthodontics treats patients of all ages—children, teens, and adults—making it ideal for families who want everyone under one orthodontic roof. The practice is particularly well-suited for patients who value a warm, family-oriented environment over a corporate feel, those seeking honest recommendations without upselling, and anyone who appreciates modern technology (digital impressions, no messy molds) in a newly renovated, comfortable setting. With evening and weekend appointments, the practice accommodates busy schedules. Dr. Kim's perfect 5.0-star rating reflects his ability to make even anxious patients feel at ease. The practice is also excellent for budget-conscious patients due to 0% financing and insurance maximization.

Does Kim Family Orthodontics accept dental insurance?
Yes, Kim Family Orthodontics is in-network with many dental insurance companies and works directly with your provider to maximize your insurance benefits. Even if they're not in-network with your specific plan, the practice will help you understand your out-of-network benefits and submit claims on your behalf. They also offer 0% in-house financing for the portion not covered by insurance, making treatment affordable regardless of your insurance situation. During your free consultation, the staff will provide a transparent breakdown of costs and insurance coverage specific to your plan.
What safety measures does the office have in place?

“Absolutely the best Family Orthodontist group in OC. Dr. Kim is always, and I mean always full of excitement when he sees my son. He knows how to take care of all his patients and takes the time to connect and build trust especially the ones that may be a bit afraid about going to an Orthodontist. My son is so happy, and he does look forward to his visits. He got braces done about 1.5 yrs back. We are so happy with the results so far, and cant wait to see the final look. Thanks to all of Dr.Kim's staff and Dr. Kim. They are all so skilled, professional, and fun. Also the office is very clean and safe. I highly recommend considering thier practice. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Dr.Kim.”

“My wife and I have had a great experience at Kim Family Orthodontics, and we’re very happy with the results. Dr. Kim is extremely knowledgeable, kind, and easy to work with. Every visit has been comfortable and positive, and he always takes the time to explain what’s happening and what to expect next. One thing we really appreciated is that he creates new custom trays every month, so the fit is always precise as things progress. That attention to detail made a big difference for us. Dr. Kim was also very accommodating when we were traveling in Europe and helped pause the process without any issues, which made the whole experience much less stressful. Overall, we felt well cared for from start to finish and would confidently recommend Dr. Kim and his team to anyone considering orthodontic treatment.”

“Throughout the two years I had braces, Dr. Kim and his team made the process very smooth and comfortable for me. I was always hesitant to get braces for most of my life, but I decided to take the chance. They take extreme care at what they do, and Dr. Kim always made each session a positive experience through his kindness and professionalism. Definitely a recommended place to get braces done!”
