We have been doing Inisalign for my older daughter. The treatment took some time (around 2.5 years), but the result is great! Everyone in the clinic is super friendly and supportive. Thank you!
Elizabeth W.
Kind Smiles Orthodontics in Irvine has been amazing! My son Michael usually has a lot of dental anxiety, but he’s been feeling great here. The whole team is so kind and patient, and they’ve made every visit comfortable for him. We’re really happy with the care and highly recommend them!
Yumeng L.
We’ve had a wonderful experience with Kind Smiles Orthodontics! Everyone on the team is so friendly, patient, and caring. They take the time to explain everything clearly and make my daughter feel comfortable at every visit. We’re very happy we chose Kind Smiles for her orthodontic treatment and would definitely recommend them to other families!

We love coming here. Everyone is so friendly and makes the visit fun for the kids. Huge shout out to Ernesto who is so patient and explains the teeth cleaning process in language my 3 year old could understand. Dr Gary is always knowledgeable and personable.

Kind Smiles is truly that…kind. 💛 Made our son feel super welcomed and comfortable. So glad we found it for dentistry and ortho!

Kind Smiles is hands down the best practice I have ever encountered. The facility itself is easily the nicest, cleanest, and most modern office I have ever seen. What truly sets them apart is their brilliant approach to care. They are one of the only offices that seamlessly combines orthodontics and pediatrics under one roof. This team approach gives me complete peace of mind because absolutely nothing gets missed when it comes to dental development. The service and communication here are flawless. Every staff member is welcoming, and they keep you fully informed every step of the way. If you want top-tier care in a beautiful environment, this is the place to come!
Minkkwan W.
Wonderful experience with Dr Gary! He is so calm, listens to you, answers your questions throughly. The staff is amazing. Clean and bright facilities. We’ve dentist hopped for a while and we’ve finally found our dental home for our kids!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for sharing this! We love hearing Dr. Gary described as calm, thorough, and a great listener. It also means a lot to hear such kind words about our amazing staff and our clean, bright office. Creating a welcoming space where families feel comfortable asking questions is so important to everyone at KIND SMILES Irvine Pediatric Dentistry. 💛
Solmaz S.
We had an amazing experience with Dr. Junyi Xie and the entire team! From the moment we walked into the office, everyone was incredibly kind, welcoming, and professional. Dr. Xie is not only highly knowledgeable and skilled, but also very patient and caring. They took the time to explain everything clearly and made my child feel comfortable and at ease throughout the visit. The entire staff is friendly, organized, and truly goes above and beyond to provide outstanding care. You can tell they genuinely care about their patients and are passionate about what they do. The office is clean, modern, and creates a warm, positive environment. I highly recommend Dr. Junyi Xie and the whole team to any family looking for exceptional orthodontic care. Thank you for your kindness, professionalism, and dedication. We couldn’t be happier with our experience!
Response from the owner:What a thoughtful review! Your kind words about Dr. Junyi being knowledgeable, patient, and caring mean so much. We also love hearing that the team felt friendly, welcoming, professional, and organized, and that the clean, modern office created such a warm and positive environment. Making families feel comfortable, at ease, and never rushed is incredibly important to everyone at KIND SMILES Irvine Orthodontics. Thank you for th
Joey Y.
I couldn't say better things about Dr. Junyi and her team! If you're looking for an orthodontist, look no further! This is my third time doing teeth correction (once with braces, twice with Invisalign). My previous providers were highly educated with stellar reviews but could not correct my teeth correctly and to my liking. Since I'm in my late 20s, I was super frustrated with my teeth struggles because everyone around me had already finished their teeth correction treatments. Dr. Junyi was extremely informative and kind, and she worked with me to get the smile I was after. She even went above and beyond, working extra hours to help me finish treatment by a certain date. On top of that, her office takes insurance and offers various payment methods, so she was able to work with me to find a payment plan that fit my needs. My teeth are now straight and just how I wanted them, and the experience could not have been better, both with her and the team.
Response from the owner:Joey, thank you so much for sharing this! Dr. Junyi’s kindness, informative approach, and willingness to go above and beyond clearly made an impression. We’re also glad the flexibility around payment options and the support from the team helped make the experience such a positive one. Your thoughtful words about Dr. Junyi and the team at KIND SMILES Irvine Orthodontics mean so much!
TING L.
My kids love dr Liu, he is amazing with kids! We absolutely love this dental office! The entire team is so friendly and welcoming, and they're wonderful with our kids. The dentist is incredibly gentle, patient, and always makes them feel comfortable during their visits. The office is clean, inviting, and creates such a positive experience every time. We highly recommend this practice for families!
Response from the owner:We’re glad to hear your kids enjoy their visits with Dr. Liu. Thanks for sharing! If there’s anything else we can do to help, feel free to reach out.
