Why Patients in Westwood Choose Us
Six reasons we've been the heart of Westwood Village orthodontics since 1976.
Top 1% Invisalign Provider Worldwide
Dr. Gao holds Blue Diamond status — earned by fewer than 1% of providers globally. You're in expert hands for clear aligner treatment.
Board-Certified + UCLA Clinical Instructor & Mom of 3
A distinction earned by fewer than 30% of U.S. orthodontists. Dr. Gao actively trains the next generation of orthodontists at the UCLA Section of Orthodontics.
Woman-Owned, All-Female Team
A boutique, woman-owned practice in the heart of Westwood Village — with a warm, all-female team that's been together for a combined 70+ years.
3 Generations of Families
Since 1976, we've been helping Westwood families achieve healthy, confident smiles—and today we're proud to care for the children and grandchildren of our original patients.
Bilingual: English & Chinese
Speak with Dr. Gao in the language you're most comfortable in. Fluent care in both English and Chinese.
1-on-1 Boutique Care
A small private practice. We see a limited number of patients each day, so you're never rushed and your treatment plan is truly personal.

TREATMENTS & TECHNOLOGY
Treatments Built Around You
From early intervention for kids to discreet adult treatment, Dr. Gao offers the full range of orthodontic options.
Invisalign
Clear, removable aligners for adults and teens. As one of the Top 1% Invisalign Providers worldwide, Dr. Gao treats the most complex cases.
Traditional & Clear Braces
Time-tested metal braces or near-invisible clear ceramic braces — both highly effective for a wide range of bite and alignment cases.
Lingual Braces
Braces bonded to the back of your teeth — completely invisible from the front. Ideal for adults who want full discretion during treatment.
Early Treatment (Phase 1)
Early intervention for children ages 7+ can reduce the need for complex treatment later. Includes traditional palatal expanders when indicated.
BONUS INCLUSIONS
Included Free With Your Consultation

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you might want to know before booking your free consultation.
How does the $1,450 Savings Bundle work?
It's a simple new-patient bundle. You get an instant $500 off your Invisalign or braces treatment, plus FREE professional teeth whitening (a $500 value) once your treatment is complete. Your free consultation also includes a Panorex X-Ray and a 3-D Smile Scan (a $450 value). Total potential value: up to $1,450. This offer is exclusively for new patients.
Do you treat adults, teens, and children?
Yes — Westwood Orthodontics treats patients of every age. Dr. Gao and Dr. Vuong offer early intervention (Phase 1) for children, full orthodontic treatment for teens, and discreet options for adults including Invisalign, clear ceramic braces, and lingual braces.
At what age should my child first see an orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic evaluation by around age 7. At that age, your child's adult teeth are coming in, and early intervention — when needed — can make later treatment shorter and simpler. We offer Phase 1 treatment, including traditional palatal expanders when indicated.
What's the difference between Invisalign and braces?
Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually move your teeth — they're nearly invisible and can be taken out to eat and brush. Traditional braces use brackets and wires bonded to your teeth and stay on throughout treatment. Both are effective; the right choice depends on your specific case. As a Top 1% Invisalign Provider Worldwide (Diamond Plus), Dr. Gao can help you decide which option is best for your smile.
Do you speak Chinese?
Yes — Dr. Gao is fluent in both English and Chinese (我们说中文). You're welcome to speak with her in the language you're most comfortable in.
What treatment options do you offer?
Westwood Orthodontics offers Invisalign, traditional metal braces, clear ceramic braces, lingual braces (bonded behind the teeth for invisibility), Phase 1 early treatment for children, retainers, and traditional palatal expanders.
What technology do you use during my consultation?
Every new-patient consultation includes a Panorex X-Ray and a 3-D Smile Scan — both included free as part of our current new-patient offer (a $450 value).
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards, Zelle, Venmo, and PayPal. During your free consultation, our Financial Coordinator will walk you through pricing, your insurance benefits, and the payment options that fit your budget.
