Orthodontists are dental specialists who diagnose and treat problems associated with the position, alignment, or spacing of the teeth, as well as, irregularities in the face and the jaw. They are specially trained in correcting these issues through braces and other oral appliances. Dr. Donna Chang, completed three years of additional full-time specialized training in orthodontics, following graduation from dental school. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends children begin receiving periodic screenings at the age of 7. This enables the orthodontist to assess each patient’s orthodontic needs and growth patterns in order to develop the most efficient and effective treatment plan.
Two of the main reasons for undergoing orthodontic treatment are aesthetics and function. An attractive smile can boost confidence; properly aligned teeth enable teeth to function better while eating and speaking. Properly aligned teeth are also easier to keep clean and, therefore, healthy.
There is no age limit on getting braces and enjoying the benefits of a great smile. All that matters is that the patient is in good general health and possesses strong bones and gums. In fact, about 25% of all orthodontic patients in this country are adults. At Ace Orthodontics, 50% of all patients are adults. Orthodontic treatment can increase self-esteem at any age. The duration of treatment ranges from 12 to 30 months depending on how much work is required to achieve a patient’s goals.

"I absolutely loved my experience with Dr Chang! She explained everything that I didn’t have any questions. She understood my orthodontic needs and was able to make an Invisalign treatment that fits my needs."
"Great orthodontist!"
"She has a strong focus on customer service! ...helped me with a slight misalignment - something that the DC orthodontist did not even mention!"
"It is with great pleasure that I whole heartedly endorse Dr. Donna Chang! At the age of 60...She was able to give me several viable options to pursue."
"Dr. Chang is thorough and listens closely. I came in for a consultation and she recommended that I did not need orthodontia work. So she didn't do any orthodontic work for me but my husband used her for Invisalign treatments and was very happy with his experience."
"Dr. Chang is a wonderful orthodontist! Skilled, caring, and highly ethical."
"Dr. Chang is absolutely incredible! I love how accessible, personalized, and accommodating my orthodontic treatment was, especially during the pandemic. Dr. Chang makes you feel important and cared for as a patient. I couldn’t recommend her enough!"
"Dr. Chang is highly personable and knowledgeable. I have been to a few orthodontists in the past, and I have never met someone who greets her patients the moment they walk into the room and walk them through the entire process. From the general examination to the quotes and paperwork, Dr. Chang explained every detail to me. I emailed her after the appointment, and once again was met with the greatest considerations and thoroughness. After meeting her for the first time, I have decided to start the procedure."
