A Trusted Orthodontist in Irvine
Dr. Dinh attended the University of California, Irvine for his undergraduate degree before earning his dental degree from Western University of Health Sciences, and finally specializing in orthodontics at Roseman University of Health Sciences. His passion for dentistry began in his teenage years after he spent time at his uncle's dental office, also located in Irvine, where he discovered the impact of personalized, patient-focused care.
Dr. Dinh believes in individualized treatment for every patient, recognizing that each orthodontic journey is unique. By keeping his patients informed and always treating them with kindness and respect, he ensures a comfortable experience and exceptional results.
Outside of the office, Dr. Dinh enjoys spending time with his wife and two daughters. He loves to travel, try new restaurants and cheer on his favorite team, the Anaheim Ducks!
Irvine Braces
Braces in Irvine are an excellent choice for correcting complex teeth and jaw issues. Because they stay in place and work around the clock, braces can handle bigger corrections and often close gaps and align teeth efficiently, which may help shorten overall treatment time.
Braces also don't depend on remembering to wear a set of trays, which makes them a dependable choice for busy teens and adults.
Traditional braces are one of the most efficient orthodontic tools available. They're made of either metal or ceramic brackets that are attached to the teeth and connected by wires and tiny rubber bands.
These brackets, wires and bands work together to apply the gentle pressure needed to gradually move your teeth into position, with regular adjustments from Dr. Dinh keeping everything on track.
Irvine Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are incredibly popular with both patients and orthodontists in Irvine, and they're the top alternative to traditional braces. Instead of brackets and wires, Angel Aligners use a series of clear, removable trays to gradually straighten your teeth.
Clear aligners are made of a comfortable plastic material and customized to fit snugly over your teeth. To keep your teeth moving in the right direction, you'll switch to the next aligner in the series every one to two weeks as directed by Dr. Dinh.
Clear aligners only work when the guidelines are followed closely. Aligners should be worn 20 to 22 hours a day throughout treatment. Skipping wear time can slow your results and add time to the orthodontic process.
Clear aligners are very effective at correcting many of the most common orthodontic issues. For some cases, though, they may not be the best option. A free consultation with Dr. Dinh at Aviate Orthodontics in Irvine will help you find out if clear aligners are right for you.

Frequently Asked Questions About Orthodontics in Irvine
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
Most patients wear braces or aligners for 12 to 24 months, though some cases may be shorter or longer. The severity of the misalignment, the type of appliance and how closely you follow the treatment plan all affect the timeline. Dr. Dinh gives every patient a realistic estimate at the consultation.
What age should my child first see an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic evaluation by age seven. At that age, developing concerns can be spotted early. Many children simply need monitoring until more permanent teeth come in.
Are clear aligners as effective as braces?
For many patients, yes. Angel Aligners can treat crowding, spacing and many bite concerns. Some complex cases respond better to braces. Dr. Dinh evaluates each case and recommends the option that will give you the best result.
Will orthodontic treatment hurt?
Most patients feel some pressure or mild soreness when they first get braces or start a new set of aligners. It usually fades within a few days as the teeth adjust.
Does Aviate Orthodontics accept insurance?
Yes. Aviate Orthodontics works with many insurance plans, and our team will help you understand your benefits during your consultation.
Does Aviate Orthodontics offer free consultations?
Yes. Free consultations are available at our Irvine office, along with virtual consults for patients who'd like to start from home. Dr. Dinh evaluates your smile, talks through your goals and recommends treatment options with no obligation.
