Why We Choose
To Be Different

“I wore braces for 5 years under a professor, but ended up worse (with buck teeth) and was abandoned. When I was a kid, my dad lost two molars — his dentist pulled the wrong tooth.

That’s why I started Kuo Dental. The kind of clinic I wish my dad and I had when we needed help.”  – Dr Karen Kuo

Smiles That Tell A Story

Nothing says it better than our patients themselves. Here are their stories, laughs, and new smiles.

“Other dentists just tell me to accept my tilted molar. Dr Karen is the only one who is willing to save it.”
“I gave it a try and never regret it at last”
We went to many dental clinics before deciding on Kuo Dental for Xander’s braces treatment and it is a decision that I didn’t regret.
I strongly recommend the service provided by Dr Kuo. You will never regret. Just give it a try.
“I was on denture after I lost my front teeth in a basketball accident many years ago. Dr Karen asked me to consider implant and I’m so glad I did.
The procedure is totally different from what I imagine: There is really no pain. My implant was done 2yrs ago and everything has been great so far and I can enjoy all the food that I like again.”

Metal Braces (Damon-style)

Not just alignment,
want a smile makeover?

Signs You May Need Braces
  • Jaw pain or frequent cheek/lip biting
  • Difficulty chewing food properly
  • Uneven smile or facial imbalance
  • Tooth decay from hard-to-clean teeth
  • Lack of confidence when smiling

If any of these sound familiar, don’t worry, we’re here to help!

Clear Aligners (Invisible Braces)

Can I get braces without the compromise?

Yes! You can straighten your teeth without sacrificing your lifestyle. Clear aligners offer all the benefits of traditional braces and more!
Signs Clear Aligners Might Be Right for You
  • Want to avoid teeth extraction / TAD (bone screw) as much as possible
  • Want to avoid emergency visits for broken brackets or poking wires
  • Teeth crowded or spaced out OR relapsed after initial braces
  • Want something almost invisible  
  • Want flexibility, ability to remove it for meals or cleaning

Don't compromise on the foods you love or hide your smile during treatment. Chat with us, we’ll see if aligners are your match!

“I was so thinking that she needed extraction for her buck teeth. I’m so glad that we listened to Dr Karen’s advice – she’s so young. Let’s just use clear aligner for arch expansion to avoid extraction.”

Kids' Growth Correction (Airway & Jawbone)

Does my child need help?

Did you know that teeth, facial bones, muscles, and airways are all interconnected? One weak link can affect it all.
Early orthodontic screenings before age 7 allows you to catch issues while your child is still growing, when treatment is most effective and less invasive.
Signs Your Child Might Need Early Intervention
  • Mouth breathing
  • Snoring (even “a little” is not normal)
  • V-shaped upper jaw
  • No gaps between baby teeth
  • Underdeveloped chin
  • Family history of underbite (Class III)
  • Premature loss of baby molars
  • Crossbite
  • Tongue tie
  • Asymmetrical face during growth

One simple checkup paired with routine dental visit during this golden window of growth is all you need. Chat with us!
