    Before and after! My bite was closed
    Julia H.

    I had braces in the past but didn't wear my retainer, so over time my teeth shifted and I developed problems with my bite. I couldn't close my bite properly, which made it difficult to close my lips. Dr. Passamano and his team have been incredible throughout this whole process. They are efficient, professional, and so patient. After treatment, I needed a retainer. The first one, made from my scan, didn't fit quite right, probably because of the material being different from Invisalign, not sure. When I explained the issue, Dr. Passamano listened carefully to my feedback and personally made adjustments to ensure the new retainer fit perfectly. I really appreciate how patient he was and how willing he was to work with me until everything felt just right. Thanks to him, I can finally close my bite, and feel confident with my smile again. I'm so grateful and highly recommend Dr. Passamano and his team to anyone looking for an amazing orthodontist! They are the best!

    THE BEST orthodontist you'll ever see. When you're working on something as important as your smile and teeth, you want someone who has OCD (in the best way possible) like Dr. Passamano. He's a stellar orthodontist who's got amazing bedside manner, is funny, and really cares for his patients. I live in the San Gabriel Valley and I drive an hour or more just to see Dr. Passamano because he's worth the commute. His staff are second to none, they're so polite and friendly. They always make me feel welcome and I honestly don't know how he keeps them so happy but whatever he's doing, it's definitely working! In terms of my treatment, I got Invisalign done with him and I could've finished in a year based off of his estimates. When the year came up, I thought I was all ready to go and Dr. Passamano pointed a slight imperfection with my teeth that he said HE wanted to fix (probably because I wasn't wearing my retainers as religiously near the end - sorry). At first I said no then I called the office and thankfully he reversed my decision and allowed me to get a few more retainers to fix the minor minor imperfection. He never complained or made me feel bad a flip flopping on the correction and supported me all along the way. I recommend him no matter where you are located as he's the best orthodontist you'll ever find!

    Gracias an Evelyn por tanto cariño a mi hija, eres genial !! gracias Dr Passamano por todos sus consejos y recomendaciones siempre excelentes y necesarias. El tratamiento duró unos meses más de lo planeado pero me gusto como el Dr Passamano le explicaba a mi hija el porque era necesario esperar siempre dedicando el tiempo necesario para cada detalle y preguntas que tuviésemos. Dr Passamano tiene un equipo excelente TODAS ! Las chicas son únicas siempre los voy a recomendar Adriana y Elizabeth tuvieron la mejor experiencia gracias

    Amazing care for the whole family! I just finished my orthodontic care with Dr. Passamano and I absolutely love my results! Both of my kids come here for their orthodontic care and we couldn't be happier! The results are already amazing, and I couldn't be happier. Dr. Passamano and the entire staff are always so friendly and welcoming. They explain everything clearly, keep everyone comfortable, and make the whole process stress-free. I'm so glad we chose this office--it's been an all-around great experience! Highly recommend this office to anyone looking for outstanding orthodontic care and an awesome team!

    HANDS DOWN, best ortho office in all of OC!!!…read more Sons & Daughters orthodontics is a highly-rated (now we know why) ortho practice in Irvine, by The District at Tustin Legacy. They are known for using modern technology and offering services for all ages ~ children, teens, and adults, such as Invisalign or your traditional braces. Dr. Lee, Dr. Nguyen and their whole staff are so pleasant to interact and work with. They truly care about each and every one of their patients, young to old. They are super friendly and very efficient. The ortho office has a modern, ultra cute & chic aesthetic. Very inviting & sterile clean. Both my kids get their orthodontic needs (braces) here. My teenage son choosing the traditional braces option and my teenage daughter opt'ing for the newer Invisalign technology. Such a vast difference from the days when I had braces. Lol Wish I had options like these and not having to gag every time I had to have an impression made of my teeth. IYKYK YUCK! Now they have cool camera wands to do all that..like what?!?! Considered myself mind blown. My son actually just graduated this past week, after 2 years of wearing braces (I can't tell you how stoked he was for this day & to ring that bell lol) and his beautiful smile says it all. The newfound straight smile evokes such a renewed confidence in him. It's the best feeling & sight to see. My daughter will be next in less than a month. We highly recommend this ortho office..your smile will thank ya!!!

    Sons and daughters came highly recommended by my friends and I can see why! I took my son for a…read moreconsult after his dentist said he probably doesn't need braces, but I should seek a second opinion from an orthodontist. After a thorough review, they very truthfully told me he didn't need braces. This sort of honesty from a business is extremely rare, and even though my son won't be getting braces here, my daughter definitely will! I'm planning to take her soon and I know she will be in the very best of care. They have modern technology and the nicest staff, I was so impressed!

    I can't rave enough about Dr. Tai and his team. Our experience at the office has been wonderful…read more The staff is always welcoming and accommodating, and scheduling appointments is very easy. Dr. Tai is extremely patient and great with kids, which makes every visit a positive experience.

    I completely agree with the reviews posted here on May 26 and May 27, 2026. I've lived in Irvine…read morefor over 15 years, and this is the first--and by far the worst--review I've ever written for an orthodontic office. The staff were consistently rude. I simply couldn't believe the attitude and level of professionalism they displayed. Afterward, I checked the clinic's website and social media pages and noticed that most of the staff members who used to work there are no longer with the clinic. Perhaps that's one of the reasons for the decline in the overall patient experience. My experience during treatment was also extremely disappointing. 1. Constant overbooking. Appointments were frequently triple-booked, resulting in very long wait times. 2. Poor communication and coordination. The assistants, front desk staff, and doctor often gave completely inconsistent information. For example, one assistant told me to come back for attachments at my next appointment. When I arrived, the doctor said they weren't needed at all. That trip turned out to be a complete waste of time. 3. Rushed and sloppy care. Because the clinic sees such a high volume of patients, everything felt rushed. Some assistants lacked attention to detail, and the front desk staff provided poor customer service. After six months of treatment, I was told that my treatment was complete. However, I don't see that my primary concern has been addressed, and I have not received any explanation. As a patient, what I care about is: Whether the doctor genuinely listened to my concerns. Whether there was a clear and measurable treatment plan. Whether each stage of treatment was actually carried out according to that plan. Whether the treatment plan was adjusted appropriately based on my progress. Whether the final result achieved the agreed-upon goals; and, if not, why. I haven't seen those qualities demonstrated.
