★★★★★

We “inherited” Dr. Waite when Dr. Stephen Kim transferred his practice to Dr. Waite towards the end of our daughter’s orthodontic treatment.  Since we were almost finished with our daughter’s braces, we decided to let Dr. Waite complete her treatment with the removal of the braces, and then start the subsequent retainer stage.  BEST decision ever!! We got to know Dr. Waite, and immediately warmed up to him.  Superior knowledge is expected of a doctor, but the bonus comes when his or her bedside manners are impressive.  Dr. Waite delivers on both!  Now, he is treating our son, and soon he will be treating our third (and last) child!  Great doctor, great staff!

Dr. Waite and his team are some of the best! I had braces for 4 years and I honestly am so glad it was here! It’s about a 30-40mim drive for me but it’s 100% worth it! When you are going to an office for such a long time and even after your treatment is over for retainer checks, etc., you feel a part of the family. I love feeling so comfortable, able to ask any questions and knowing that their best interest is my health and care. I don’t feel like just another “client” I feel taken care of which means the world to me and my dental needs! My braces have been off for about 2 years now and they still welcome me, every time. Love this team and would 10/10 recommend to ANYONE.

We love Dr. Waite and his staff. They are all friendly and accommodating. I have never experienced a delay in our appointment. In fact, we are taken even earlier. I have referred others to use Dr. Waite and will continue to do so. My son started out with a different orthodontist but after Dr. Waite took over his braces were off quickly. My daughter now sees him and she is on track to getting hers off in time. You can’t go wrong with Waite Orthodontics.

We love Dr Waite and his staff! My seven year old daughter was very reluctant to start Phase 1 treatment for an under-bite, but Dr Waite and his staff are so great with kids! She warmed right up and now loves going to her appointment’s. To me this was a miracle! They feel like family and they have fun reward systems for the kids. We’ve been going for treatment for over six months now and highly recommended them. I even had a retainer made for myself there, since I lost my old one. 5 stars for sure!

We love Dr. Waite and his team. So happy to have found them via a recommendation. My oldest son currently in phase 1 of his Braces and we are so happy with the results. Dr. Waite and his team are kind and informative. Overall a great experience. We will definitely continue seeing Dr. Waite if my other children require Orthodontic treatment. I highly recommend.

My son hates the dentist (like most of us) or anyone touching or poking his teeth, but after the visits we’ve been to he’s always mentioned how nice everyone is and that it’s not too bad going.

My daughter has been very happy with the entire staff. She actually looks forward to going to her appointments. She wears her Waite Orthodontics shirt every time to make sure she gets her points. The office staff is very friendly, helpful and makes each appointment an enjoyable experience. Our family is very appreciative to have such a caring staff.

We have  had a great experience with Dr. Waite and his staff. My daughter looks forward to her visits and is experiencing excellent results. She is in Phase 1 treatment right now. We don’t live locally, but it’s worth the drive to get the best care and latest in orthodontic options and extras like colored ties, monthly contests and rewards, as well as adult treatments like Invisalign.  Not only is Dr. Waite a clinician who is thorough and detailed in his approach, he is personable and motivates my daughter to do her part.

Dr. Waite has a wonderful office. He and the staff are very friendly and accommodating. My 3 children have all had early orthodontic treatment there, and I love that there is always new technology in the office. As a Dental Hygienist myself, I can see the quality care the patients are receiving. Highly recommended.

★★★★★

Brought my little in for a complimentary exam and I am impressed! She had an X-ray taken which was really cool. It showed all of her teeth including the ones that haven’t come in yet! Dr. Waite and his staff are kind and knowledgeable. Found out my daughter needs some an expander for her little jaw. Dr. Waite is awesome. He explained in detail all the steps of getting the expander and my kid is excited! I decided to go for it and get her treatment scheduled. They did this really cool scan of her teeth! She didn’t need to take an impression which is great!! They also have a rewards program so she can earn points and get a gift card! I feel very confident is choosing Dr. Waite for her orthodontic care!!
Update. Expander is in and we are progressing!!

I had THE BEST experience at Waite Orthodontics! The staff is kind & professional! I called because I had broken my permanent retainer. They gave me the price over the phone & fit me in immediately. The ladies in the office were so nice and helpful! Dr. Waite had me in and out in 15 minutes & explained what he was doing step by step. I am so grateful I found Dr. Waite!

Waite Orthodontics is wonderful! The office is bright and clean, the staff is very friendly and helpful. Dr Waite is very kind and talked to my son about his interests which made his feel very comfortable. My son was very nervous about braces and after meeting Dr Waite he is now excited to have a billion dollar smile. The office has state of the art X-ray equipment, and treatment plan is explained very clearly. Payments are very transparent, no hidden fees. There’s even an incentive plan for kids to earn gift cards! If you live in Orange County or Seal Beach/ Long Beach area this is the perfect orthodontist for you!

I just finished treatment with Dr. Waite a little over a month ago, and I could not be more pleased with the results! I had a very difficult case that several Orthodontists didn’t want to attempt. From the initial consultation Dr. Waite knew exactly the treatment plan he wanted to do for me and was confident it would work. Even though Dr. Waite was confident, I was hesitant because this wasn’t my first round of braces. I had braces twice in elementary school and once in high school. After three rounds of braces my bite still reverted back and I was left with a slight underbite. This caused me to only be biting down on my very back teeth and was making eating difficult, as well as causing damage to my back teeth. Dr. Waite originally told me I would be in braces for about 18 months, but he got it done in 16!! Each step of the process Dr Waite was very thorough and willing to answer all my questions. I never felt rushed or that he didn’t care about my case. His office staff is fantastic and creates a warm and friendly environment. The only downside of having my braces off is not visiting them once a month. Thank you so much to Dr. Waite and your staff for the fantastic results. I love my smile now, and all the issues I was having previously with my bite are gone.

Dr Waite and his team are amazing! Everyone is so friendly and helpful. Always caring and professional. The office is clean, modern and well laid out. They have a area for patients to clean & brush their teeth before their visit, with everything they need. This is perfect when you come straight from school or a day out. Dr Waite explains everything you need to know, answers any question or concerns you have. The staff provide detailed instructions for home care… and to a mama of 3, this helps a lot. 😉 Thank you Dr Waite and staff for caring about my son dental needs. I highly recommend Waite Orthodontics.

I have three children, all of them have had or currently have braces performed by Waite Orthodontics. Dr. Waite is always super cool and he connects with the kids effortlessly. You can tell he loves his work and that his staff enjoy it too. This office has a greet staff, always friendly and they actually pick up the phone. Quick and efficient, we’ve rarely had to wait on our monthly visits. Dr Waite is a fellow USC Trojan, which was a pleasant surprise, so you know he’s well trained. They are Very reasonable, and my kids look great with their straight smiles. We Couldn’t ask for more, highly, highly recommend!

Dr Waite is very knowledgeable, has high end equipment, and spoke to my then 12 year so he understood what would be happening throughout the process and what he needs to do to maintain his smile. His staff is very friendly and the office is accessible.

My son has been Dr. Waite’s patient for past 10 months. He is a teenager who is very picky about almost everything. He has severe crowding in his teeth. Dr. Waite is very attentive and very well skilled dentist. My son truly trusts him and enjoys his progress. I never expected he actually look forward his monthly appointment. His staffs are also very nice and professional. I highly recommend Dr. Waite.

I have been coming to Dr. Waite for my Invisalign treatment for about a year now, and I am so happy with my results so far! I have a few months left and I can’t wait to see how my teeth turn out overall. I first came here 15 years ago for braces with dr Sugiyama. I didn’t wear my retainer so my teeth shifted. Dr. Waite recommended the Invisalign and I am glad he did! He along with all of the staff have been nothing but kind to me throughout this process and I am glad I decided to stay with this office! Thank you Dr. Waite and staff!

Dr Waite and all of his staff are extremely professional, while still being very friendly and personable. They always greet my son in a great mood making him at ease and comfortable. They’re constantly having contests at the front desk like Guess the number of things in a jar for a prize. They’re active on social media and also have a rewards program, that my son participates in during each visit. I would highly recommend Dr Waite’s office for any orthodontic needs, child or adult.
