Dr. Ivy Vuong is a Board-Certified Orthodontist dedicated to creating beautiful, healthy smiles. She earned her bachelor’s degree from UC Berkeley and her dental doctorate from UCSF, where she was honored with the Pierre Fauchard Academy Award and the ASDA Award of Excellence for her leadership, volunteerism, and research. Dr. Ivy then moved to New York for her Orthodontics & Dentofacial Orthopedics specialty training at NYU and practiced orthodontics in Manhattan’s Upper West Side. Returning to Southern California, Dr. Ivy joined the Smiles team and collaborates closely with the Smiles team in crafting beautiful and healthy smiles for children and teenagers.

As a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics and a member of the American Association of Orthodontists and the American Dental Association, Dr. Ivy is committed to maintaining the highest standards of care. She actively pursues continuing education to stay current with the latest technology and advancements in orthodontics.

Outside the office, Dr. Ivy enjoys pilates, hiking, and traveling. She strives to create positive, fun experiences for her patients through sharing adventures in both orthodontic endeavors and life.

Dr. Reem, founder of Smiles Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, shares a behind-the-scenes look before a deep sedation appointment.

During this visit, Dr. Reem explains that canines are the pointy teeth at the corners of the mouth. In today’s case, a young patient has baby canines that are in the way while the permanent canines are positioned further behind them than they should be. The patient has already completed early orthodontic treatment and arch expansion, and today Dr. Reem is preparing to gently remove the baby canines.

Working together with Dr. Mary, Smiles's anesthesiologist, the patient will take a comfortable nap under deep sedation while treatment is completed. The goal for today’s visit is simply to move the baby canines out of the way while keeping the experience calm, gentle, and supportive.
