Expert Training

Drs. Richard and Debra Shin are orthodontists. In order to become orthodontists, they had to be dentists first. On average, only six out of 100 dental school graduates go on to become orthodontists.

In order to practice orthodontics, both doctors spent 11 years in training (four years of college, four years of dental school, and three years of orthodontics residency). During their orthodontic training, they spent three years learning the skills needed to manage tooth movement (orthodontics) and to guide facial development.

They are both Board Certified Orthodontists. ABO Board Certification is a voluntary credential that represents an orthodontist’s personal and public commitment to the standards of specialty practice and lifelong learning.

“Attentive and Careful!”

Dr. Shin is very attentive and careful. He never rushes and takes time to explain different treatment options. The staff is also great, both in the examination room and the front office. Would highly recommend this practice.

“Phenomenal!”

Dr. Debra and the entire staff are phenomenal! From the initial consultation all the way through my final retainers, it has been a lovely experience. I had the Invisalign and have zero complaints. The office has modern technology to scan your teeth. They also have a number you can text with any questions or concerns.

Maribel

“Friendly and Helpful!”

Absolutely the best place to go get braces. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. They tell you everything you need to know and when I had emergencies with my braces they were very quick to help me and see me. I got my braces off today and I’m in love with my smile. Thank you!!!
