Meet Dr. Yang!
My Approach
While using a gentle approach focusing on guided growth and widening of the jaw to improve oral posture, airway capacity, and aesthetics, Dr. Yang believes that a better bite, improved facial profile, stronger jawline, and larger airway are all beneficial to the patient both in child development and long term health as an adult.
It is often likely that early expansion can eliminate the need for wisdom teeth or bicuspid extractions along with minimizing the need for long-term retainers.
Along with expansion and jaw development, Dr. Yang is one of the most renowned practitioners in the field of tongue ties and tethered oral tissue (TOTS).
Difficulties in infant feeding and swallowing along with pediatric sleep disorders or breathing issues could all be signs of a tongue tie and Dr. Yang has been at the top of this field for the past 12 years.
He has successfully treated each of his patients with gentleness and with a collaborative team approach alongside some of the most accredited myofunctional therapists in Orange County. Dr. Yang is continuously expanding his knowledge and experience in this niche specialty.
