real first visits

My son used to cry before every dental visit. Dr. Chau was so patient and gentle that he actually walked out smiling. MV Ortho Pedo has completely changed how our family feels about the dentist

Jessica T., Parent

We brought our 2-year-old in for her very first visit and the team at MV Ortho Pedo made it easy and fun. No tears, no stress, just a calm, welcoming experience from start to finish.

Marcus R., Parent

Dr. Chau took the time to explain everything and never pushed anything we didn't need. It's rare to find a kids' dentist this honest and kind. Highly recommend MV Ortho Pedo to any parent in Mission Viejo.

Priya S., Parent

The sensory-friendly setup made such a difference for my daughter, who gets overwhelmed easily. Everyone at MV Ortho Pedo was warm and reassuring, and Dr. Chau was wonderful with her. We won't go anywhere else.

Dr. Chau believes every patient deserves to be treated like family — bringing the same care, precision, and warmth to a child's first visit as to an adult's smile transformation. He offers Invisalign, clear braces, and traditional braces to help every patient reach a confident, healthy smile.

A Magna Cum Laude UCLA graduate, he earned his dental degree at UCLA and completed his orthodontic specialty training and Master's at Baylor, with published research in The Angle Orthodontist. Outside the office, he's a devoted dad of two, a tennis player, and a proud Bruins and Bay Area sports fan.

FAQs

When should my child first see a dentist?

By their first birthday, or within six months of their first tooth. Early visits keep little smiles healthy and help your child feel comfortable from the start.
