Dr. Kwon has been an amazing orthodontist for the past few months I've done Invisalign from him. He is very good about providing good instructions to ensure the Invisalign can be effective at full capacity and provides guidance when something doesn't work well. I'm looking forward to the rest of my Invisalign experience with Dr. Kwon and I definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking to start Invisalign.

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Kwon as my orthodontist. He was incredibly thorough and detailed, ensuring that every aspect of my treatment was tailored to my needs. His dedication to precision and clarity throughout the process was remarkable, making me feel confident and well-informed. The results are fantastic - my smile has never looked better. Highly recommend Dr. Kwon for anyone seeking top-quality orthodontic care!

Jinhee Park

My 10-year-old has recently completed her phase 1 orthodontics under the amazing care of Dr. Kwon and his team. Dr. Kwon’s professionalism and attention to detail are top-notch, and he and his staff have always gone above and beyond to make sure my daughter felt comfortable throughout the whole process and well taken care of. Most importantly, my daughter’s teeth look absolutely stunning and I’m still trying to get used to seeing her with perfect teeth. I highly recommend Dr. Kwon for pediatric orthodontics!

One of the best orthodontists in Los Angeles is Dr. Kwon. I visited three different orthodontists before I found him. The front desk staff are lovely and kind. They don’t make you fill out unnecessary paperwork. The office is spotless and not overcrowded. Dr. Kwon is very kind and explains everything very clearly, so you know exactly what you’re getting done. There is no confusion. If you are looking for an orthodontist, I highly recommend Dr. Kwon. You’re in good hands!

Just got my braces off today!! So happy with the results. Been going here for over 3 years. I have recommended this place to all my friends and family who want braces/Invisalign done. The assistants here are the sweetest. Dr. Havens and Dr. Kwan did a great job in helping me achieve my goal of getting the perfect smile. Thank you so much, Dr. Havens & Dr. Kwan.

Lana Lusk

I began at this office 20 years ago for my first set of braces so I’ve been 3 or 4 doctors and may hygienists. All were great when I was a kid and now as an adult. Most recently, I came back for Invisalign and Dr. Kwon was very helpful and gave the perfect treatment to straighten my teeth. Everyone in the office is accommodating when I have to bring my baby to appointments. I’m very happy with my treatment!

Neomi Rosa

Dr. Kwon is the best around. I had such a great experience here and was in good hands. He was very thorough and patient with me. Answered all and any questions I had. I was excited to bring my oldest son in for braces! So now we’re both taken care of by Dr. Kwon.

TK Orthodontics is a gem in the world of dental care. From the moment you step through the door, you’re greeted with efficiency and warmth. Appointments are swift, and you’re seen right on time, which is a rarity in the medical world. The staff’s friendly demeanor and penchant for jokes create an atmosphere that eases any nerves. Dr. Kwon himself is not your average orthodontist. With a cool and down-to-earth demeanor, he makes every visit feel like catching up with an old friend. Plus he has a good teste in cars lol. I chose to get Invisalign and he was always so professional and helpful through the process. I am amazed by my results. My issues were pretty much fixed in less than 8 months. Whether you’re there for a simple progress check-up or a more involved procedure, TK Orthodontics exceeds expectations every time.

Shindi Grewal

I have been a patient for about two years now. This office has the nicest staff, from the receptionist to the dental assistants. In my time with them, I have never had a bad experience. They do whatever it takes to keep you comfortable and pain-free. I was happy with the services provided that my daughter is now a patient too!

Yasmeen Alvarez

I have been going to Dr. Haven’s and Dr. Kwon's for about three years now and I recommend everyone who’s looking to get braces to them. Dr. Kwon has taken over for Dr. Haven but the level of care and hospitality has not changed one bit. I had to get braces a second time and I’m so glad I went to them for the second time because my braces journey was amazing and they listened to all my concerns and made sure I was ready and comfortable with getting my braces off. Definitely, definitely recommend!!

Ka Zoua Xiong

I’ve been a patient for over 6 months now. The staff and Dr. Kwon are very attentive and are very welcoming. At first, I wasn’t sure whether to get Invisalign or braces, but Dr. Kwon was prepared to answer my questions clearly I ultimately decided to get Invisalign. It’s just as efficient as braces! It is a slow process but you will definitely see results around the 6 months mark!

Amanda Young

Dr. Kwon is amazing! Love his staff as well! They work with you on appointments and we never have to wait long for my daughter to be seen. They always answer all your questions with such a positive attitude as well. Would highly recommend this office!

Susan Christensen

I consulted TK Orthodontics after I noticed a shift in my teeth after having traditional braces removed 30 + years ago. Dr. Kwon recommended Invisalign. In just 15 short months and with Dr. Kwon’s expertise, my alignment is perfect. It’s even better than when I originally got my braces off. Dr. Kwon and his staff are professional, efficient, and organized. But also kind, caring, and friendly which makes for a present experience during appointments. I couldn’t have found a better orthodontic practice for my Invisalign installation. I would encourage anyone who wants to straighten their bite and feel a new sense of confidence to consult with TK Orthodontics. You won’t be sorry and you’re never too old for a beautiful smile.

Ruben Betancourt

Every time I have my appointment the staff is phenomenal, they treat me like family, Dr Kwon is very friendly and very helpful with all the questions that I have. He's the best! I strongly recommend TK Orthodontics in Fresno and Selma ca. They will leave you with the biggest smile ever.

Roxanne Smith

Dr. Haven, Dr. Kwon and their staff are amazing. They are always really friendly and remember things about you that make you feel as though they know you on a personal basis. The wait time is minimal. They stay on time with their appointments. Any concerns I have ever had regarding my teeth have always been addressed immediately and to my satisfaction. I would definitely recommend this office to anyone looking for orthodontic work!!

Crystal Nachtigall

Invisalign with Dr. Kwon and his staff has been an excellent experience for our first daughter so we're moving forward to do the same with our second. This staff is compassionate, professional, organized, understanding, and accommodating. Orthodontics has been the opposite of stressful. We have no reservations in recommending this practice to other parents.
