The procedures used were too extreme for us! The pallette expander was more invasive than described. We were not prepared for the discomfort of the pallette expansion and the associated drilling. The side effects to the procedure were not fully explained. Our other big issue was that we didn't feel it was appropriate of him to to make critical comments in front of our teens regarding their facial features. I'm sure it was merely clinical to him because he probably does this all day but to an impressionable teen these can be scarring things to hear from an adult authority.
To hear that there is something wrong with your face. We tried telling him to not say that but he did it again in the very same session where we told him not to do it. Our child asked about his problematic features and did not want to go to future appointments. We then swithched to a diffent ortho for our other teen.

I had MSE with Dr Ting and it was awful. I had many complications, a lot of them are not reversible, and some of them will require surgery to correct. It's been a complete nightmare and one of the worst things to happen in my life. I do not recommend. MSE is a risky and barbaric appliance from my experience.

Wow, what an amazing opportunity to learn from the Master himself. The course that Dr. Ting put on was amazing. Learning from his vast clinical experience was invaluable and would highly recommend for any practitioner that is placing MARPEs or is thinking about incorporating this life changing procedure for their patients. I am thankful for the opportunity to learn from him and look forward to continuing to learn from him. Also, the team there that puts on the course is great too! All Protein, No Carbs

Great results so far! Both of our children are being seen at Ting Orthodontics and we are so pleased with the results up until now. Our older child has more of a complex case, but Dr. Ting has been able to navigate it and produce great results. Every single staff member is so courteous and efficient. While we are only halfway through their treatments, we couldn't be happier. Thank you Dr. Ting and staff!

Read the other reviews and they read more like paid ads, weirdly over the top positive yelp reviews. Since we left mid-treatment and went to another Ortho, we have heard from other parents who have had very similar negative experiences. This doctor interacts very minimally with his patients for a reason. His staff compensates for this by being over the top friendly. But make no mistake, they will not be honest if it means adding to your bill, which will happen, and he is already more expensive than your average Ortho.

This was a unique and exceptional course. The mixture of hands on/shadowing with lecture allows you to learn the protocols, materials and information and at a deeper level. Dr. Ting is a master at his craft and very open to all questions from treatment planning to protocol to materials. The team was extremely welcoming and helpful. They were quick with a smile and always offering assistance. This was one of the best course that I have taken. If you are considering doing MSE or you are doing MSE you need to take this course!

This was an amazing learning experience from a wet fingered clinician that actually treats patients, documents and shows what he does, the great, good, the bad, the ugly, and everything in between. I found the real life case based learning, especially when things did not go as planned, (which is real life dentistry and orthodontics!) was in-valuable!
I SO appreciate Dr. Ting and his team's sharing what they do, how they do it, and their helping me with my own systems to predictably implement the MSE, corticotomy, Dx, and Tx in a real world setting.

As an airway focused dentist, I sought out a phone consult with Dr. Ting because he came so highly recommended as a leading provider of MSE placement. His team was friendly and assured me that Dr. Ting would return my call later that day. Sure enough Dr. Ting was both generous with his time and kind in answering all my detailed questions about my MSE expansion patient. His knowledge and passion for helping his patients is inspirational. His generosity in sharing his knowledge to all of his colleagues is a true gift to our profession.

Dr. Ting is truly a kind, generous and knowledgeable orthodontist. He helped me with one of my MSE (expansion) cases I had questions with. He answered all of my questions and more. He is very skilled and experienced in the expansion arena and a very skilled orthodontist. A leader and pioneer in our world and in the area of orthodontics.

I don't usually do reviews, but Dr Ting and Dr Ting's team deserve it. Dr Ting is professional, knowledgeable and you know from the time you meet with him that you are in good hands. Everyone there is really nice, but we were lucky enough to have Jennifer as the assistant and she is beyond wonderful. Always smiling, supportive and kind. You can feel that she loves what she is doing and that she is just a great human being. I didn't believe it exists, but it does. the perfect doctor with the perfect team :

Dr. Ting is one of the very rare "airway-focused" orthodontists. He cares not only about perfect teeth, but also about health and facial beauty as a whole. He offers a very cutting edge appliance that helps to expand the airway and improve health, in addition to improving smile. He is one of the most experienced orthodontists in the world with this particular treatment. Also, Shelley the office coordinator is very responsive and a pleasure to deal with. Thank you to Dr. Ting for being part of my dental team.

We love ting Orthodontics & staff. That's why we are giving them five starts. ( I wish I could give them more ) Everyone is always so happy and upbeat. Dena -the treatment coordinator is the first person you see when you first come in. She always greets you with a smile. She's so upbeat, sweet, smart and treats you like you are family. She's fabulous! Shelly- is the office manager and she knows her stuff. She's very pleasant to work with.
Some other places just try to sell you. Shelly is Honest, charismatic, trustworthy and very acknowledgeable. Dr. Ting - My son Chris says; " He's cool". And I agree. He's charismatic and splendid. And the most important thing is that my son, trusts him and feels comfortable. Anyway, That's why we decided to use them for my Son's orthodontic treatment.
We leave in Aliso Viejo and there's quite a few other Orthodontics in town but no one like Ting Orthodontics. we don't mind making the drive to RSM to go see them. P.S Check them out you won't regret it!

As a dental colleague I met Dr Richard through international professional multidisciplinary study groups. He is a high experienced Orthodontist who not only sees the importance of creating a beautiful smile and functional bite but also has in depth knowledge on the TM joint and airway health and its effects on your general well-being. He is passionate for his work and generously shares his experiences and knowledge to his fellow colleagues. The precision of his diagnosis with clear and informed communications and the high level of care he provides is invaluable to his patients.

As a fellow orthodontist, I have worked with Dr. Ting to provide his innovative expander treatment to my adult patients. He's generosity in sharing, attention to detail, and level of skill have always impressed me. We are lucky to have such a thoughtful, dedicated, and compassionate person in our profession!

Dr. Ting and his staff are absolutely amazing, professional, and curteous. Dr. Ting is detailed oriented and a perfectionist.2 years ago, We took our son (he is 9 now) to Dr. Ting's office for braces. I was sceptical for having braces at age of 7 but Dr. Ting explained the benefits and suggested to go for it. It turned out to be correct decision on right time.
Just last week he has got all his braces off (within 1.5 yrs) and now on retainer for a year. Dr. Ting and team has been very supportive through out the process, making my son comfortable and now he has a million dollar smile. The best are the freshly bakes chocolate chip cookies and Ting bucks! I would highly recommend Dr. Ting for all your orthodontic needs!

If you're looking for the right orthodontist- you've found him! Dr Ting is the best! He is very knowledgeable and really cares about helping his patients, not only to have beautiful straight teeth but better breathing too! We have had two kids with braces with Dr Ting & they were always excited for their visits. The staff is amazing! They are all so friendly and upbeat and they make all the kids feel so special!
They also have a reward system called Ting bucks to earn anything from gift cards to iPads! At the end of your visit you leave with a warm chocolate chip cookie, my daughter's favorite! Both of my children are breathing better with beautiful smiles! Thank you Dr Ting & thank you Shelley, Deena, Crystal and your entire awesome crew! We're so grateful for you all!

Dr. Ting and his team are amazing. With two years of braces and plenty of office visits we have always felt at ease. They explain everything so well and are readily available to answer questions. They made my son feel comfortable and talked to him at his level. We will be back for my youngest when the time comes. Highly recommend this office! And have recommended frequently to friends!

Since the moment I stepped into Dr. Ting's office, I received a warm welcome and PHENOMENAL care. The staff are ALL amiable and really know how to make one feel special, comfortable and extremely cared for. Dr. Ting is very professional, yet down to earth, with great bedside manners. As a nurse, I KNOW WHAT GREAT BEDSIDE MANNERS are! I would undoubtedly recommend this place (not not just b/c of Dr. Ting, but his complete entourage).
He utilizes state-of the-art equipment, and he and his staff are well versed and knowledgeable about anything that you ask. In addition, Shelley (the office/AWFICE;) manager) is available for you at the tips of your fingers. Her mobile number is available for any questions at any time! THANK YOU SHELLEY! If you want true quality, expertise and professionalism. YOU HAVE FOUND IT HERE!

Today was my last day working here, and I have to thank them so much for everything they have done for me, take it from someone in the field Dr. Ting is one of the best orthodontists I have ever worked for most orthodontists tend to care about $$$ before patients not here I have seen that he truly always put his patients first and handles some of the most difficult cases, giving the best results possible he's a perfectionist!
I have worked in LA, Santa Ana, OC. Every other doctor who saw my resume knew who Dr. Ting was he's well recognized in the dental community. I drove everyday from fullerton to RSM just to work with him but the commute finally killed me. Check this place out you won't be disappointed! Love you guys!

Dr. Ting's office deserves more than 5 stars! From the day I went into my consultation to the day I got my braces removed, Dr. Ting along with his staff treated me like family! From the front counter to the dental chair: great service, treatment, conversations, questions, etc. I would highly recommend Dr. Tings office for Ortho treatment. Annnd a shout out to Tia and Sebastian for taking care of me whenever I had a last minute appt.

This is a truly AMAZING office, from Dr Ting to the incredible staff! The fresh baked cookies are a plus but just the warmth you get the second you walk in is something you don't feel anywhere else and believe me I have had my share of other orthodontic offices that doesn't come close to the care and family vibes you get here! I am so HAPPY I found Dr Ting. Life is good!

My son has been coming to Ting Orthodontics from some time now. We have had a great experience with the staff and Dr Ting. My son looks forward to his visits, and they have helped him learn to take great pride in caring for his teeth and braces. My son enjoys the reward system of Ting "bucks" that help him earn prizes and pay for broken brackets. The office is kid-friendly, with fresh-baked cookies and video games, and plenty of space to be a kid.
We enjoy how they decorate for the holidays. We are grateful for the great care and attention Dr Ting pays to his patients, and we are happy to recommend him as a top-rated orthodontist in South Orange County.

Ting Orthodontics is the best practice for my daughters needs. The office staff, the assistants, and Dr Ting! They are great with explaining everything to me and my daughter. Their type of self aligning braces require fewer visits than most. One of the best things is their payment program. To begin I found Dr. Ting at our city's festival so I received $200 off. The other plus is my payments are interest free. We see many of my daughter's friend here and everyone is so happy with their care.

I love coming to see Dr. Ting and his team. He has really helped work with my teeth to get them back to where they were after the first time I had braces. The permanent retainer that my first orthodontist gave me ended up ruining my teeth. After not wanting to having full braces again, I was able to go for Invisalign. It has been such a great process and his team is always outstanding, friendly, and gentle with your teeth. Did I mention they bake fresh cookies for their clients? Gotta love the extra touch!
