PATIENT REVIEWS

We love Ting Orthodontics! It is the best orthodontist experience we’ve had. My son always had easy visits and never had to wait long to get on the chair.  Everyone is so helpful and friendly and always with a smile to share! Shelley is amazing and is always willing to work with you the financials. Dena is always awesome to work with scheduling. Cristal, Dane and the rest of the dental staff are always helpful walking my son through the  process at each visit. And Dr. Ting is very approachable with questions and concerns you may have. Will definitely be recommending to friends and family! Thank you for shaping up my son’s teeth – he’s loving it!

Dr. Ting is truly a kind, generous and knowledgeable orthodontist. He helped me with one of my MSE (expansion) cases I had questions with. He answered all of my questions and more. He is very skilled and experienced in the expansion arena and a very skilled orthodontist. A leader and pioneer in our world and in the area of orthodontics.

when it comes to MARPE / MSE , dr. Ting is the authority.. Me as an Orthodontist always seek help from dr. Ting regarding anything about MSE S . He is a gem of a person always willing to share knowledge. i would say his patients are lucky to be treated by him. So if there ia anyone in search for an MARPE provider dont look further.. Dr. Ting is one of the best MSE providers in the world.

Dr Ting is one of the leading authorities in MSE protocol. He has shared his thoughts and protocols with the MSE providers to the advantage of all orthodontist. He is constantly thinking of ways to improve the protocols and orthodontics. I am also a fellow orthodontist so I can appreciate his desire for excellence and to stay on the cutting edge.

Dr. Ting and his staff are absolutely amazing, professional, and curteous. Dr. Ting is detailed oriented and a perfectionist.2 years ago, We took our son (he is 9 now) to Dr. Ting’s office for braces. I was sceptical for having braces at age of 7 but Dr. Ting explained the benefits and suggested to go for it. It turned out to be correct decision on right time. Just last week he has got all his braces off (within 1.5 yrs) and now on retainer for a year. Dr. Ting and team has been very supportive through out the process, making my son comfortable and now he has a million dollar smile. The best are the freshly bakes chocolate chip cookies and Ting bucks! I would highly recommend Dr. Ting for all your orthodontic needs!

As Dr.Ting’s colleague , I consulted him regarding a specific treatment modality. I learned tremendous amount of valuable information from him. He was very kind and generous in sharing his knowledge and experience with me . He was very precise in his answers to my questions. Thank you Dr.Ting for taking the time in helping me with the challenges I encountered in treating of my patient. I am sure your patients receive lots of  attention , kindness and high quality of care.

I’m a patient of Dr. Tings and my experience has been great! There is minimal pain and you visit less than a regular orthodontics. The people there are friendly and the environment is comfortable. You can watch TV while you wait and though I personally don’t, I think it’s great they provide that. Prices are steep though. I was quoted at $4500 and my mom ended up paying $3000 after insurance. I like Dr. Ting though, and I think it was worth it.

So thankful for Dr. Ting.  We have completed phase 1 with one child, just started phase 1 with my other child. Dr. Ting sat down and explained to us the details, timelines, financial plan, expectations, and outcomes of care.  The back office has been so caring and understanding with the kids as they go through a new stage in their life. The front office staff is inviting  and friendly. Siblings play video games or watch a movie while they wait. WiFi is available.. and who doesn’t love a warm chocolate chip cookie.

Dr. Ting gave me an amazing braces experience! He always explained in detail the procedures I was going through so I ccould properly understand what to expect. The whole team treated me with kindness and respect and were always very flexible with my school schedule. Most importantly, they had the best fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies I’ve ever tasted always ready for their patients at every appointment! I would recommend Dr. Ting to all my friends!

Had our initial consultation with Dr. Ting today for both of my boys. I was thoroughly impressed from start to finish. First thing being that I received a personal call from Dr. Ting the night before to welcome us and that he looked forward to meeting with us the next day—no one does that anymore and I was in awe of that since I am in the Customer Service industry. Then when entering our appt today, we were met with a warm and friendly front lady. Our consultation was thorough and walked away with no unknown questions, everything had been laid out thoroughly with our financial lady, and was very impressed.:)

Dr. Ting’s office has nice amenities like a gaming and movie area along with snacks for the family members waiting at the reception.  The office has digital impressions so there is no gagging with the dental molds now.  Shelley, the office manager, is very responsive and friendly.  The assistants are very nice.  Dr. Ting’s office stands out from the rest because he is detail oriented and will fix the bite.  Straight teeth are not enough because an even bite will prevent problems like chipped and broken teeth later on.  Thank you Dr. Ting.

I honestly can’t say enough about Dr Ting and his wonderful staff. Both of my girls have been patients here and I literally have zero complaints. Dr Ting is so caring and takes his time to explain everything. The staff here are so wonderful!

There are few offices where every staff member greets you with a smile and makes conversation with you… Ting Orthodontics is that office. You feel instantly welcome as each employee makes you feel genuinely welcome and is there to help you. I had seen Dr. Ting’s work in several of my friends’ kids teeth and smiles, so it was easy to make a choice when it was time for braces for my boys. My boys were instantly comfortable with Dr. Ting. They are currently going through the process with their braces and we highly recommend this office for their knowledge, professionalism, friendliness, and just an all-around positive experience.

Even though i hv never met Dr Ting in person, but from the MSE user chat group which i just joined, i found that he is such a talented orthodontist. Not only he shared his knowledge generously, he is also very helpful in guiding other beginners like me. I know his patients are indeed very lucky to hv MARPE by him. He is just not another orthodontist but The Orthodontist who truly change pt’s life. Highly recommended!

We are so happy we found Ting Orthodontics in Rancho Santa Margarita! The entire staff is very professional, kind and knowledgeable, and welcome you with a smile every time!! I saw results with my daughters teeth almost immediately when she started treatment! They genuinely care about their patients and family and we love that. It is a super friendly office and I love walking in there because I know that we will be greeted with a smile every time! I DEFINITELY recommend Ting Orthodontics!!!

I highly recommend Dr. Ting if you’re in search for any orthodontic care. My kids have been seeing Dr. Ting upon recommendation from their general dentist. My son had a case of severe crowding and Dr. Ting has done an amazing job which has helped my son not feel so self conscience about smiling. My daughter is also a patient of Dr. Tings and wow I’m just so amazed on in such a short time I can see drastic changes. The staff there is great and they help motivate their patients with proper oral hygiene…but they also spoil kids with freshly baked cookies…and parents too lol – Give them a call – You won’t regret it! best money I’ve invested in this bad economy 🙂

My daughter has been a patient at Ting Orthodontics for 2 years, and the entire experience has been excellent! She is in the home stretch for her braces treatment. Due to a complex situation with her bite configuration, her treatment included an appliance that wasn’t always the most comfortable thing to wear. Regardless of the hour or day (including 6 pm the night before Thanksgiving!), Dr. Ting and his staff were always quick to have my daughter come in to see if anything could be done to alleviate her discomfort. Our younger daughter just started her treatment as well, and we are confident that her experience will be just as good. Thank you so much, Dr. Ting, for your wonderful care and amazing knowledge!

As a dental colleague I met Dr Richard through international professional multidisciplinary study groups. He is a high experienced Orthodontist who not only sees the importance of creating a beautiful smile and functional bite but also has in depth knowledge on the TM joint and airway health and its effects on your general well-being. He is passionate for his work and generously shares his experiences and knowledge to his fellow colleagues. The precision of his diagnosis with clear and informed communications and the high level of care he provides is invaluable to his patients.

This is Dr. Ting and his wonderful staff for you: The communication has always been great but in these charged “Corona-Days” they make sure that all patients are protected and well taken care of. The office has not only been creative with pick up options of Invisalign trays etc. but also continues to be sweet, professional and accommodating in these days of stress. We love you!!! Thank you!

Exceptionally thoughtful, knowledgeable and kind orthodontist, with a state-of-the-art comprehensive approach that takes the patient’s overall health into account. I sought Dr. Ting’s counsel from overseas about MSE (an adult palate expander) on several occasions, and he generously shared with me his time, knowledge and tremendous experience. Every suggestion he made to me was sound, and showed that he is a practitioner who truly cares about what he is doing, and aims to do his best to achieve successful outcomes. Since every decision one makes with orthodontic treatment can have consequences on health, I greatly appreciate the calibre of Dr. Ting.

Dr Ting is one of the most knowledgeable and experienced orthodontists offering expansion treatment with MSE. Through his experience and expertise, he has developed techniques and protocols that are followed by orthodontist worldwide. As a fellow orthodontist, his contribution is greatly appreciated.

Dr. Ting is one of the very rare “airway-focused” orthodontists. He cares not only about perfect teeth, but also about health and facial beauty as a whole. He offers a very cutting edge appliance that helps to expand the airway and improve health, in addition to improving smile. He is one of the most experienced orthodontists in the world with this particular treatment. Also, Shelley the office coordinator is very responsive and a pleasure to deal with. Thank you to Dr. Ting for being part of my dental team.

I definitely recommend Dr. Ting and his office. Dr. Ting was a referral from many parents at my children’s elementary school. We went to 3 different orthodontists before choosing Dr. Ting. My son got his braces on in oct 2016. My son has been receiving treatment for 2 1/2 years. All the dental technicians have been kind and patient while treating my son. A 24 month installment plan made the treatment feasible. At every visit, we were welcomed with smiles. This week my son gets his braces off. Soo excited!

If you’re looking for the right orthodontist- you’ve found him!  Dr Ting is the best!!  He is very knowledgeable and really cares about helping his patients, not only to have beautiful straight teeth but better breathing too!  We have had two kids with braces with Dr Ting & they were always excited for their visits.  The staff is amazing!!  They are all so friendly and upbeat and they make all the kids feel so special!  They also have a reward system called Ting bucks to earn anything from gift cards to iPads!   At the end of your visit you leave with a warm chocolate chip cookie, my daughter’s favorite!  Both of my children are breathing better with beautiful smiles!  Thank you Dr Ting & thank you Shelley, Deena, Crystal and your entire awesome crew!!!  We’re so grateful for you all!

I am an orthodontist in Texas and Dr. Ting has helped me significantly with protocols as to how to treat adult patients with expansion. This is a developing area that can be life-changing and his expertise has been very helpful for me and my patients. If you are in his area, I recommend him for your treatment.

We love Ting Orthodontics!  Dr. Ting is always very thorough and informative.  He keeps us up to date and my daughter’s mouth looking fabulous.  The office staff is wonderful!  They are always very welcoming and both my daughter’s enjoy eating the fresh cookies.  I completely recommend this office for all your orthodontic needs.  They are amazing!!  Five Stars!

Dr. Ting and his team are the best in town! My three children have been treated by other local orthodontists and none of them have the talents that Dr. Ting has. I wish I would have found him sooner!  His passion for creating beautiful smiles, gentle and kind nature with the kids, 15 year of clinical experience and loyal patient following really set him apart. Their prices are very reasonable and they offer great payment plans too. When looking for an orthodontist, make sure to visit Dr. Ting and his incredible team. You will be blown away by their service and genuine kindness.

They’re great! My smile is so beautiful now. I had teeth that still wouldn’t come down and a huge overbite before! Now my teeth are perfect! He’s such a perfectionist. If you come in and are waiting, they have video games and good magazines, but you never come in waiting. You always walk right in! And afterwards they always have fresh baked cookies for you to eat. And they have ting bucks, which are fun. They also have 1-time toothbrushes for you to use when you walk in, so you can brush your teeth before. My family always brushes right before we go to a dentist appointment, so this is nice for us. It’s WONDERFUL there!

Having been referred to Dr Ting and his amazing staff by my sister I knew they were the right choice. But now having been coming for a year and half I’m blown away by their awesomeness! Everyone is wicked nice and always happy to see us. I was extra impressed when after an initial consolation for my self I came back again for a second opinion with another offices treatment plan. Dr Ting stuck to his guns and that was what solidified my decision that when I’m ready I’ll be coming to Dr Ting. I love this office and I know my son does too! Plus cookies

Dr. Ting is truly a kind, generous and talented orthodontist. I met him in the MSE group by him reaching out to one of my questions. He was very helpful, he didn’t waste a second to give me all of the answers I needed and he kept answering all the other questions I had. Thank you for your patience and willingness to help others in the field who truly want to get better. Since then he has continued to share cases that have been successful and helpful for all of us. This kind of generosity doesn’t go unnoticed or unappreciated. Thank you!!
