At Kenmore Family Dental Care, we believe that a beautiful smile is more than just aesthetics – it's about confidence, health, and overall well-being. Dr. Heejo Han and our expert team offer state-of-the-art orthodontic treatments to help you achieve proper alignment, improved oral health, and the smile you've always dreamed of. Whether you're dealing with crowded teeth, gaps, or bite issues, our personalized approach ensures optimal results for patients of all ages.

Types of Orthodontic Treatment

Invisalign and ClearCorrect

Experience discreet teeth straightening with our clear aligner options. These custom-made, removable trays gradually shift your teeth into place, offering comfort and convenience for your busy lifestyle.

Six Month Smiles

Ideal for minor to moderate corrections, Six Month Smiles uses clear brackets and tooth-colored wires to quickly and subtly align your front teeth, often in just half a year.

Space Maintainers

Preserve proper tooth spacing for children who have lost baby teeth early. These devices prevent adjacent teeth from shifting, ensuring proper alignment for incoming permanent teeth.

Traditional Metal Braces

Our modern metal braces are smaller and more comfortable than ever. They remain a highly effective option for correcting a wide range of orthodontic issues, suitable for both children and adults.

What to Expect at Every Step

Initial Consultation and Planning

Step 1

Your orthodontic journey begins with a comprehensive examination by Dr. Han. We'll discuss your goals, take X-rays and impressions, and create a personalized treatment plan. This is your opportunity to ask questions and understand all your options. We'll explain the recommended treatment, expected duration, and costs, ensuring you feel confident and informed before proceeding.

Active Treatment PhaseTransforming Your Smile

Step 2

Once your chosen orthodontic appliances are in place, you'll enter the active treatment phase. Regular check-ups will allow us to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments. For braces, this typically involves tightening and replacing wires. Clear aligner patients will receive new sets of aligners periodically. We'll guide you on proper care and hygiene throughout this phase to ensure optimal results.

Retention and Maintenance
Preserving Your New Smile

Step 3

After achieving your desired alignment, we'll fit you with custom retainers to maintain your results. Proper use of retainers is crucial for long-term success. We'll provide detailed instructions on wearing and caring for your retainers. Regular follow-up appointments will allow us to check your alignment and make any needed adjustments, ensuring your beautiful new smile lasts a lifetime.

“AMAZING 6/5 STARS... New to the area and was having wisdom tooth pain. Dr. Han was extremely caring and didn't rush me to get an extraction. He made sure I felt good so I could keep him updated. Obviously will go back for my extraction soon and I'm glad I found them. Update: Had two of my wisdom teeth extracted. Getting an appointment was fast and they have convenient hours. I was extremely nervous but Dr. Han is AMAZING. The procedure was so fast and you could tell he is very good at what he does. My recovery was less than 24 hours, with minimal pain. Went back for the suture removal and it is almost completely healed only a week later. ”

I am never one to leave reviews, but this one is beyond deserving. Dr. Han and his assistant went above and beyond my expectations. I suffer from severe anxiety when it comes to doctors because of past experiences. However, Dr. Han's jokes and literally telling me everything he was doing before he did it made this a wonderful visit. I left feeling great and not anxious. #officiallyhavemypermanentdoc

“I am SUPER nervous about going to the dentist, but this place is FABULOUS. The staff was friendly, gentle, and understanding, and Dr. Han was incredible. I had my first crown put in. He was knowledgeable about everything from which numbing agents were best to use (I've had reactions to all of them except the one he used), which crown material to use with zero mercury in them, and understood even the homeopathic pain remedies I prefer to use. Everyone there has a great bedside manner and Dr. Han really helped put me at ease with his humor and positive attitude. Fantastic office all around!”

Meredith P.

“5/5 stars! Dr. Han is the best dentist we have ever seen - of the 35+ dentists who have treated us in the past 30 years )we were both in the military)! We are following Dr. Han from his previous dental office over to his new practice - one that will be entirely his own. So excited for the care we expect to receive there... Dr. Han is just that good! Friendly, calming, listens and is highly competent. We even recommended him to my parents, who plan to sign up once Dr. Han's practice opens!”

Camilla B.

Dr. Han and his staff were amazing. He performed a thorough examination. He was up front and I appreciate him for that. Dr. Han has a great bedside manner and really cares for his patients. THANK YOU, Dr. Han!

Hermenigilda E.

Dr. Han is extremely kind and highly skilled as is his assistant. I was nervous due to prior bad experiences with other practices, but upon meeting him, I immediately was put at ease. He fixed my issue, and in doing so, gave me relief from years of discomfort and inflammation.

M. Warco

Dr. Han was phenomenal. My previous dental experiences had been awful and left me with severe PTSD. With Dr. Han I've never felt more reassured or in capable hands. I was talked through every little thing and assured over and over through any process I went through. Permanent dentist office for life.

Mary P.

I'm very pleased with the results of my front tooth dental crown. Thank you, Dr. Han, you did an amazing job it looks so natural and I feel pretty! Your kindness and honesty makes a positive difference.

Mary F.

Always love working with Dr. Han - he is a top-notch dentist, master of his craft, and is always very knowledgeable, never patronizing. I appreciate the fact that he doesn't try to upsell me on unnecessary treatments or procedures, and I can always opt out of things like fluoride if needed. But rest assured, he embraces a mindset of proactive preventive care.
