Practice Profile Page

I never imagined saying this, but orthodonture was an absolute pleasure. Dr. Hung and his team are at the very top of their field and made the entire process easy, convenient and, ultimately, totally rewarding. Dr. Hung is passionate about what he does and getting great results, but also realistic and transparent about the expected outcome. I can’t imagine an orthodontist more skilled in the art of Invisalign — and it truly is an art — or more generous with his time and knowledge. I am BEYOND thrilled with my new smile. And I wish there were more than 5 stars to express my gratitude to Dr. Hung and glowing, run-don’t-walk recommendation of Rock Center Orthodontics!

I cannot understand some of the previous reviews. Dr. Hung and his staff, including Michelle, are just amazing. I had braces as a teenager and have had awful problems with my mouth as a adult. I had full periodontal work in my twenties. My mouth was unhealthy and unsightly.Finally, at age 62 I decided to do something about it. My periodontist put together a terrific team and my first venture was orthodontics. He recommended Dr. Hung. When I asked Dr. Hung if I was too old to make changes in my mouth he assured me that that would not be a problem. And he was right. I followed his instructions religiously and wore my retainers the recommended hours per day. The results were unreal. I have no more open gaps in my teeth. A turned tooth is now straight. I am still overwhelmed by the results. Everyone in his office is gentle and kind and receptive. If I needed to speak to Dr. Hung directly he either got on the phone or called me back.If I needed to see him the office made it happen. After I finished with him I went on to the other issues in my mouth and now I can smile and not be embarrassed and my mouth is helathy. I have even told Dr. Hung that he is welcome to have potential patients call me. My experience was totally top-notch and I would do it all over again with him. I’m just glad that I don’t have to. Have no hesitation about him or his practice. I spent enough time with this that I know what I am talking about.

I normally don’t write reviews, or participate with survey’s, but I felt compelled to share my amazing experiences with everyone here since somehow Dr. hung is getting few strangely bad reviews on here. I was recommended to this office by one of my closest friends who was also doing her invisalign braces here. I just started my treatment less than 4 months ago, and I already can see the huge difference on my upper teeth, I was very surprised and extremely happy to see the result came out that. quick. Yes, Dr. Hung likes to google the images of other similar cases to show and explain to you what happened to your teeth which i actually found it great because it is easier for me to understand my situation better instead of using all those fancy dentistry vocabulary to confuse me. Dr. Hung is very professional and knowledgeable and he is def one of the top orthodontists you can go for. The office is very clean, the staff are very friendly and helpful. Anyway, I just can’t wait to see my new smile!!

Dr. Hung is awesome. I’m only halfway through invisalign and my teeth already look the best they have ever been in my life. The doctor is so professional and knowledgable, and on top of that has an approachable, easy going personality. I’ve never felt like I have been in such great hands in a dentist’s chair as I do here (obviously he’s an orthodontist, not a dentist, but you get the idea). When my invisalign aggravated an issue with my gums, he squeezed me in for an appointment right away, and called a periodontist on the floor over for a second opinion. I would recommend anyone and everyone planning orthodontic work to visit Dr. Hung.

Dr. Hung is the best Orthodontist I’ve seen. He fixed my teeth straight and decent even I was told it couldn’t be done with Invisalign. Dr. Hung is super fun, patient, knowledgeable and always willing to communicate with his patients. Besides, his staffs are excellent as well. You can find his staffs are well educated about what they are doing. I really hate going some general dentists and the staff know nothing and the dentists have to guide them steps by steps. I am so glad and feel secured and relaxed knowing none of other staff will do any harm to me since I had bad dental visit experience! Lol I read some other reviews here and was surprised about other reviews about Dr. Hung. Seriously, I think those gave low ratings must have had some misunderstanding while communicating with Dr. Hung. Anyway, highly recommended if you are looking for a trustworthy, caring, and brilliant orthodontist in NYC.

Dr. Hung and his staff are very professional and very personable. I had terrible teeth placement in spite of having had braces as a teen. I am not a young person who was very concerned and embarrassed by my teeth and therefore my smile. Dr. Hung led me through the process of slowly and accurately correcting my bite. The change was amazing, My smile is back and, perhaps more importantly, my mouth is so much healthier. And the few subsequent times I have seen Dr. Hung for some small adjustments he was available and made the experience fabulous. I absolutely could not be happier, He is my orthodontic guru and hero!

Did a great job straightening my teeth- I had to go back after I lost my retainer (from high school) and my teeth moved. I actually choose to go with metal braces because I find them to be wayyy faster and less of a hassle than Invisalign. And I was done in a few months! He was very knowledgable and thorough and I’d def recommend him to anyone!

Dr. Joseph Hung, who was somewhat cut out in this picture, is amazing. Even after having braces as a teenager, my teeth did not meet and were crooked and just generally unattractive and not functioning to capacity. At my ripe “old” age I asked if he could help and he said yes! And did he ever!! My “before” and “after” pictures are amazing. My teeth are straight, much better-looking, and, most importantly, my bite is now correct. This eased the pressure on my back teeth. I love the Invisalign because only another Invisalign wearer can notice them. And the process was consistent and reliable. I needed a lot of movement so the process took time but was SO worth it. He is a caring, professional technician and his staff is also great. He is my orthodontic hero. I have also told him that if anyone new needs to talk to a very satisfied patient I am it!

Most of my family and I went to RockCenter Orthodontics and saw Dr. Joseph Hung who turned into a quarterback and advocate for our dental care. I remember my first or second appointment with Dr. Hung, which was a long awaited process, since I was reluctant to get braces and never knew about Invisalign. He told me that he might need to finish the last couple months of treatment with fixed braces, but said that the chances were slim and proved to be right. He put me in touch with all of the right specialists to make sure my underlying oral health was in check for treatment and was integral in making sure that I received only the treatment that I actually needed to keep my cost down. The office itself is transitional in appearance – I think they’ve updated a bit since I was a patient there, because I had to go back for a retainer check in 2015. They actually made new clear aligners, since I suffer from bruxism (grinding) due to demanding work, but Dr. Hung has also performed occlusal adjustments that helped a lot. The staff are generally very professional, but it’s a busy office and I can tell that Dr. Hung expects a lot out of his assistants. He expected a lot out of me, too, because he essentially made me promise to wear my aligners 22 hours a day, every day until the treatment was complete. He would always remind me to keep my retainers clean to avoid unnecessary plaque. Due to how busy the office is, you can sometimes have to wait for your appointment, but that’s because the orthodontist gives you his undivided attention. He makes sure you are fully aware of the status of your treatment progress and what will happen next. I would go to my dentist who would say where did you learn all of those fancy dental terms, I would laugh that Dr. Hung gave me both the technical and layman’s terms. He is also very funny and makes you laugh. Would I go back to him again? Maybe to say “hello” and show him that I’m still wearing my Vivera retainer! Thank you for reminding me, Dr. Hung. Dr. Hung is a consummate professional in his speciality, so I make my friends who need orthodontics fly to see him, even if they don’t live in NYC. He corrected all of my bite impacting the function in how I use my teeth, but he also turned me from a 5 (*laughing) into at least a 9.5! My facial structure improved dramatically from a cosmetic point of view.
