Adult Invisalign patient

Discreet Adult Treatments

Many San Marino professionals and parents seek out our Blue Diamond+ Invisalign expertise. We offer highly aesthetic clear aligner therapy and clear ceramic braces, allowing you to achieve a perfect smile without compromising your professional appearance.

Phase 1 pediatric orthodontics

Pediatric Phase 1 Orthodontics

Early intervention is critical for optimal jaw development. Dr. Lee and Dr. Jung specialize in Phase 1 treatment, guiding growth to prevent severe crowding or bite issues before all adult teeth erupt, ensuring your child's dental foundation is secure.

Dr. Lee's training in Craniofacial Biology — through her dual master's degrees from USC — gives her a clinical foundation in jaw development that goes beyond the typical orthodontic residency. For San Marino families seeking a specialist who treats the whole facial structure, not just tooth alignment, this background is the differentiator.

"I had a fantastic experience at Vivian Lee Orthodontics for my Invisalign treatment. AJ, my technician, was absolutely wonderful—he was patient and super mindful about my comfort during the process. Dr. Lee herself is so sweet, precise, and incredibly knowledgeable. Honestly, everyone I’ve interacted with here has been so kind and patient, even when I have a million questions or need to tweak my schedule. Highly recommend!"

"I’m a new patient and I’m very impressed with the office staff. From the moment I walk in, I’m greeted by a friendly and professional team. The office staff are efficient, organized, and always willing to help with any questions. Special thanks to Dr. Lee, Dr. Jung, Sanaz, Melissa and Jackie and other staff at the office. They make the entire orthodontic process easy and stress-free. I truly appreciate their excellent service! Highly recommend👍"

"Had a great first Invisalign appointment with AJ! He was friendly, patient, and very thorough in explaining the entire process, which really put me at ease. He took the time to answer all my questions and made sure I understood what to expect moving forward. The appointment felt smooth and well-organized, and I left feeling confident and excited about starting my Invisalign journey. Highly recommend AJ!"

"I had a fantastic experience at Vivian Lee Orthodontist! From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel welcome and at ease. The office is clean, modern, and well-organized. Dr. Lee is incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and takes the time to explain everything clearly. I always felt like I was in great hands. The team is also very accommodating with scheduling and always friendly. I highly recommend this office to anyone looking for quality orthodontic care!"

"From the moment you step into Vivian Lee Orthodontics, you feel the warmth and professionalism in the air. Every visit has been a delight, as Vivian and her attentive staff consistently welcome us with bright smiles—like Jackie’s! Choosing the right team to guide our child through the challenging journey of braces during the preteen years was so important to us, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience so far. Not only are they a group of certified orthodontists in a high-tech, spotless, hygienic clinic with a great music playlist, and Disney on TV, but they also offer an abundance of kindness and support that makes this journey feel much easier for our daughter. It's truly heartwarming how Esmeralda and Erin remember our child’s name and engage in meaningful conversations. Andrew kindly demonstrates how to use the dental tools for her spacer and braces—it's those little touches that make all the difference. We feel incredibly fortunate to have such a dedicated and caring team by our side! We thank Loyal Dental in Duarte for recommending them to us."

San Marino Orthodontics FAQ

What does it mean to be an ABO Board-Certified Orthodontist?

The American Board of Orthodontics (ABO) is the only orthodontic specialty board recognized by the American Dental Association. Achieving Diplomate status requires hundreds of hours of preparation, written and clinical examinations, and a rigorous peer review of actual patient cases. Both Dr. Lee and Dr. Jung are ABO board-certified, representing the highest standard of clinical excellence in the field.

What makes a Blue Diamond+ Invisalign provider different?

Blue Diamond+ is the absolute highest tier recognized by Invisalign, awarded to fewer than 1% of providers worldwide. It requires an exceptional level of experience and successful case volume. For our San Marino patients, this means we routinely treat complex cases—such as severe overbites, crossbites, and crowding—with clear aligners, avoiding the need for traditional braces in many instances.

Do you offer multi-generational orthodontic care?

Yes. We frequently treat entire families from San Marino, ranging from Phase 1 early intervention for elementary-aged children at Carver or Valentine, to teen Invisalign for San Marino High School students, to adult retreatment for parents and grandparents. Our specialist focus ensures predictable, premium outcomes across all life stages.

How far is your clinic from San Marino?

Our Arcadia specialist clinic is approximately 3 miles from San Marino, typically a brief 5–7 minute drive via Huntington Drive, passing the Huntington Library. We offer a private, state-of-the-art environment with convenient scheduling.

Do you offer Saturday appointments for San Marino patients?

Yes. We offer Saturday morning appointments, which are particularly popular with San Marino families with demanding weekday schedules. Saturday slots fill quickly — we recommend booking your complimentary consultation in advance.
