Dr.Chen is passionate about creating healthy, confident smiles through personalized orthodontic care. She earned her dental degree from McGill University in Montreal before completing a general dentistry residency at the University of Connecticut. She then went on to receive her specialty orthodontic training at the prestigious Eastman Institute for Oral Health in Rochester, New York — one of the country’s most respected orthodontic programs. Dr. Chen graduated with honors, ranked in the top two of her class, and earned multiple certificates and awards for academic excellence.
Since completing her orthodontic training in 2011, Dr. Chen has built her expertise in private practices throughout California and the Pacific Northwest. After taking time away from practice to focus on raising her three children, she returned to orthodontics with renewed energy and an even deeper appreciation for the work she loves. She offers a full range of orthodontic services, including Invisalign, self-ligating braces, early interceptive treatment, and digital scanning technology. Dr. Chen believes great orthodontic care starts with listening and takes the time to understand each patient’s lifestyle and goals to create a treatment experience that feels comfortable, modern, and personalized.
One of Dr. Chen’s favorite parts of orthodontics is watching patients see their smile transformation for the first time. Seeing their confidence grow throughout treatment is what continues to inspire and energize her every day.
Outside the office, Dr. Chen enjoys exploring new restaurants with friends, staying active at the gym, and playing board games with her children. She also loves scenic hikes throughout the Pacific Northwest, especially Franklin Falls, Twin Falls, and Poo Poo Point. A perfect day starts with a great cup of coffee and ends with tired legs and a hearty meal after a rewarding hike.
