Dr. Michael Lee

Board Certified Orthodontist

Nothing gets me more excited than seeing a patient view their new smile for the first time after treatment is completed. It’s truly a pleasure being able to meet and establish life long connections with so many people from different walks of life while transforming their smile. I make sure to go above and beyond to ensure my patient’s concerns are addressed.

I grew up in San Marino, CA and am thrilled to return to the San Gabriel Valley to give back to the community. When I’m not practicing orthodontics, I am looking for the next destination in the world with an awesome hike to go on. I also enjoy reading books about self development and growth, volunteering, and cheering for the LA Lakers.

Benefits of Seeing a Board Certified Doctor

A board-certified orthodontist recognized by the American Board of Orthodontics (ABO) demonstrates a commitment to the highest standards of patient care, expertise, and professionalism. ABO certification is a voluntary credential that goes beyond the minimum requirements for practicing orthodontics, requiring candidates to pass rigorous written and clinical examinations. This certification ensures that the orthodontist has met advanced competency standards in diagnosis, treatment planning, and clinical skills.

Patients benefit from choosing a board-certified orthodontist because they receive care from a specialist who is dedicated to continuous learning and excellence in orthodontics. Certification also signifies adherence to ethical standards and best practices in the field. Additionally, ABO certification must be maintained through periodic renewal, ensuring that the orthodontist stays current with the latest advancements in treatment and technology.
By selecting a board-certified orthodontist, patients and their families can have confidence in receiving high-quality, evidence-based orthodontic care.
