Meet Dr. Tina Chung

Dr. Chung, born in 1968, is a native of Taiwan. Growing up in Alabama and California, she enjoyed painting, drawing, and building models and crafts. Raised in a scientific family, she realized that she wanted to pursue a career that would incorporate both of these loves, art and science.

Her introduction to orthodontics was at the age of 8 when she received a retainer for minor treatment from an orthodontist who was a friend of the family. During high school, she realized that she wanted to make orthodontics a career goal and proceeded toward that path.

In 1989, after three years of college at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, she was awarded the prestigious honor of enrollment into the Early Admissions Program at the University of Alabama School of Dentistry.

What is a Diamond+ Invisalign Provider?

In 1989, after three years of college at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, she was awarded the prestigious honor of enrollment into the Early Admissions Program at the University of Alabama School of Dentistry. She combined her final year of college with the first year of dental school in one rigorous program that would enable her to reach her dream a year sooner.

In dental school, Dr. Chung was appointed to a number of academic administrative committees and was heavily involved in dental research. She won many awards in dental research and in academics, at both the dental school and national levels, including The Quintessence Publishing Company’s Award for Excellence in Dental Research.

  • Traditional Metal Braces
    Traditional metal braces remain a reliable and effective orthodontic option, now designed to be more comfortable and streamlined than ever before. Made from high-grade stainless steel, they use precision brackets and archwires to gently guide teeth into proper alignment over time. This treatment is highly effective for correcting a wide range of orthodontic concerns, and patients can personalize their experience with coloured elastics to add a fun, individual touch to their smile throughout treatment.

  • Clear Aligners
     Clear aligners offer a discreet and flexible way to straighten teeth using a series of custom-made, transparent trays. Designed to fit comfortably and move teeth gradually, aligners are removable, allowing patients to enjoy their favourite foods and maintain their regular brushing and flossing routines with ease. With no metal components, clear aligners provide a smooth, irritation-free experience while delivering predictable, effective results for eligible patients.

“We love coming to visit Dr Chung. Her office is very warm and inviting and her staff is first rate! Dr. Chung took time to carve out a treatment plan that would be best for each of my three children as well as myself. The results were phenomenal. She’s not just an ordinary orthodontist, she truly is a brace artist!”

“Our experience with Dr. Chung has been very positive. Having had 2 children go through braces with different doctors, I’d say the overall process is fairly the same. What makes Dr. Chung stand out to me is that she is a doctor who is caring, organized, thoughtful, and creative in her approach to solving individual orthodontic needs.”

“Dr Chung and her staff are amazing! They are super organized, efficient, and so good at what they do. The office is bright and cheerful and I liked the open concept of the treatment area. I did Invisalign and they coached me throughout the process. I am finally done after 2 years. I have them to thank for my new beautiful smile!”

Step 1: Your First Visit Is All About You

We begin with complimentary photographs and orthodontic X-rays to assess your bite and jaw. You’ll meet with one of our orthodontists to review your records, and receive a copy to take home. Your family dentist will also get a report to keep.

Step 2: Personalized Recommendations

If treatment is not yet needed, you’ll be placed in our free yearly recall program to monitor changes. If treatment is recommended, we’ll review your options and provide a detailed financial package to take home and consider at your convenience.

Step 3: What to Expect With Appointments

We respect your time. Your first visit may take 30–60 minutes depending on your case. Once in treatment, most visits are only about 20 minutes. We aim to keep your appointments efficient, informative, and focused on your comfort and care.
