It’s never too late to get braces.
In the past, braces may have been associated with children and teenagers, but today it is commonplace for adults to have orthodontic treatment with braces in order to have straight teeth!
Aside from straighter teeth, braces also bring about five more benefits:
1. It helps prevent tooth decay and gum disease.
Another problem with crooked teeth is that it creates tight spaces that are hard to clean.
These spaces can trap food debris that can put you at risk of developing plaque and cavities no matter how diligent you are when it comes to oral hygiene. Sometimes, you may even find flossing a bit frustrating since the floss itself can get stuck!
But by getting braces, you will be able to keep your teeth clean more efficiently.
2. It makes your eating sessions more comfortable.
Don’t ignore the pain you feel when you’re chewing. You may think it is a minor problem, but when an improper bite can make chewing uncomfortable.
3. It prevents injury to your cheeks and tongue
Misaligned teeth can cause cheek and tongue biting. With aligned teeth, your inner cheeks and tongue will no longer be susceptible.
4. It improves your speech.
Have you noticed that individuals with underbites have difficulty with “s” sounds? Our teeth position, along with our tongue and other vocal organs, are vital in forming specific sounds for communication.
Braces will help align your teeth, enabling you to make the right sounds when speaking. Not only will braces help you speak more clearly, but it will also help you speak more confidently too!
5. It corrects your jaw pain.
The pain you feel in your jaw could actually be caused by the joints in your jaw trying to correct itself based on the misalignment of your teeth.

I went to see Dr. Tracy as an adult for treatment of crowding of my lower front teeth that was causing me some discomfort. She came up with an excellent treatment plan and executed it seamlessly within about an 8 month period from braces to retainer. I’m very, very pleased with the result both aesthetically and in terms of comfort. For personal attention, care, and excellence look no further than Orthodontic Harmony. Thank you Dr. Tracy and Ayxa you guys are the best!

I was disappointed to learn that I paid ~$6500 for treatment only for this office to not have a finalized scan of my teeth on file. I was given active clear aligners at my final appointment in addition to several inactive trays and told that if I needed more trays I’d need to get my teeth rescanned and it would cost around $1200-1400. I ended up asking my dentist to scan my teeth as his office can mail you new trays at a moment’s notice if anything happens. This was especially disappointing because Dr. Cheung knew that I only lived here while my husband attended school, I’d never be able to get to her office to get rescanned if something happened to my trays.
Additionally, I was told the office could remove and replace my brackets/buttons for the clear aligners prior to my wedding as a complimentary service. In the end, Dr. Cheung felt I was far enough along in my progress that we didn’t need to put those particular brackets/buttons back after the wedding. I was fine with this because I trusted her opinion, but this resulted in a tooth on my upper left side sitting higher than the rest of my teeth. I was told this would get better, but it did not.
When I was initially invited to do a Google review by Dr. Cheung, I would’ve given 5 stars, but it was what happened at the finish line that really ruined the experience for me. My smile turned out beautifully, I just would have expected my tooth to sit flush like the rest of my teeth and for my final form to be on file without an additional cost.

Dr. Cheung and everyone at Orthodontic Harmony have helped me through my orthodontic journey in an unexplainable way. They made sure I was always informed, comfortable, and satisfied every step of the way. They helped me coordinate with my surgeon and my dentist to make sure there were no loose ends. I genuinely believe my orthodontic journey wouldn’t have been nearly as success without Dr. Cheung on my team.

My daughter and I had an excellent experience with Dr. Tracy at Orthodontic Harmony. She was recommended by our pediatric dentist and we very much trust his opinion. She was very clear about each step of the process and took the time to make sure we understood next stops as well. I would 100% recommend her to anyone seeking an orthodontist in the area.

We’re fortunate to have found Dr. Tracy Cheung and her team at Orthodontic Harmony. We, parents of a teenager, were complete novices in visiting Orthodontists’ offices to learn about the entire process of getting braces for our daughter. Dr. Cheung, her assistant, Ayxa, and staff immediately welcomed us and eased our apprehension. Among the myriad of great attributes of Dr, Cheung, such as her friendliness, professionalism, and patience, what we’re most pleased with is her integrity. We followed her clear guidance and saw the reinforced result. We firmly recommend Dr. Cheung, Ayxa, and everyone at Orthodontic Harmony to anyone who seeks the finest orthodontic experience.

My experience has been excellent. I came into the consultation not sure what to expect and with frankly low expectations of results due the extreme crowding. Fast forward and I have a great straight smile and the entire staff worked together as my team to get best results. The practice is pristine and so clean and they have the state of the art equipment for imaging to get best fit possible. I Highly recommend!!

I can’t say enough great things about Dr. Tracy Cheung, Ayxa and the team at Orthodontic Harmony. This was my last option for a third opinion of the process I needed to take for my smile. After a sleepless night and extensive research at 2 in the morning, I found Dr. Tracy at Orthodontic Harmony.
Not only is she a true expert but she as well as Ayxa are also incredibly kind and patient. Scheduling was very easy and once I came in for my appt, The protocols they follow to ensure cleanliness and safety is impressing!
Dr. Tracy explained each step of my treatment and what to expect, so I felt comfortable, confident and overall safe and completely at ease with the treatment option I was given.
The communication between the staff and patients has shown me that we are highly considered, thought about and cared for. The follow ups and the willingness to accommodate you if you have any questions or concerns is such an important factor because as patients we never just want to feel like just a patient but like family that matters. And Here, I completely feel that.
I’m so happy I’m at the hands of a skilled and excellent Doctor along with her team. I’m looking forward to continued progress (which I already see in just 6 months)
I truly appreciate the level of detail and dedication put into their work. If you’re looking for an orthodontist who combines expertise with kindness and excellent patient care, Orthodontic Harmony is the place for you. Where you walk in as a patient and leave as family.

Very nice orthopedic office. The staff is amazing and they do such a great job. They are great with getting back to you right away when you need to contact them. Also the doctor genuinely cares about how you feel about things and making the right decision for you and your family at the moment (both what’s going on physically with your teeth and financially in your wallet).

We highly recommend this practice to anyone who needs an orthodontist. Dr. Tracy has been working with my son for about 2 years as he prepped for, got braces, and went through the various steps. My son is amazing, but he is a teenage boy and also tends to chew on everything! Dr. Tracy was so supportive, encouraging, and positive with him, which made the entire process so pleasant. He struggles to remember certain routines, but she never made him feel badly and always worked with us to figure out the best way to help him do what he needed to do.
We had to move about 1.5 hours away in the middle of this process, and we chose to continue commuting back and forth to Dr. Tracy's office rather than finding someone new. It has been worth it because everyone at the office is incredibly friendly, supportive, and encouraging!
In addition, the change in his teeth and smile is significant and we are really happy with the results.
I would also add that this office is so on top of scheduling. We have never had to wait to be seen and are always in and out in a timely way - while never feeling rushed. I truly could not imagine a better experience!

Orthodontic Harmony has been treating my two children for the last 10 months. Doctor Cheung listened to my concerns about my child’s jaw alignment and tailored a plan of treatment that was specific to him and me! She did not jump into a treatment plan. Rather, she listened to our concerns as a family and made a plan that was best for us all! I have nothing but good things to say about both her and her staff.

Wow! Where can I begin? I’ll start by sharing that I had a cross bite, flared teeth caused by a previous orthodontic treatment done elsewhere and of course my teeth were misaligned. Upon my first consultation Dr, Tracy knew exactly what I needed to start. My top teeth were crowded and I needed a palette expander to create more room in my top teeth. After that I had braces to correct my misaligned teeth. Both Dr. Tracy and Ayxa were very patient with me, interested in my concerns and thorough with every step that was performed. Their level of knowledge and professionalism exceeded my expectations. My braces came off today and I cannot express enough my gratitude towards this great team whom literally has helped me regain my confidence. My smile looks amazing :) and I don’t have to feel insecure about my teeth ever again! Thank you Dr. Tracy and Ayxa for all of your hard work and dedication because it is clearly evident and I will be forever grateful!

My daughter had a wonderful experience here with Dr. Tracy Li Cheung. We highly recommend this practice as Dr. Cheung and Ayxa were always friendly, knowledgeable, and thorough in explaining what to expect and how to care for the palate expander and braces. My daughter just had her braces removed and her teeth look great! She is happy with the results and loves her smile!!

I highly recommend Dr. Tracy. She came highly recommended to me by friends, and we have had a wonderful experience working with her.
From the moment we walked in, the office staff was friendly, and Dr. Tracy took the time to explain everything clearly.
She is patient, professional, and has made my son's orthodontic treatment smooth and stress-free. We’ve already seen amazing results and feel so confident in her care.
