There's a difference between a general dentist who offers braces and a specialist who does nothing else.

At Bloom Orthodontics & Bloom Smile Studio in Long Beach, every patient is treated by Dr. Thao Vu: a board-certified orthodontist whose practice is built around adults who want straight teeth without the look of traditional braces.

What Board Certification Means

Board certification goes beyond a dental license. It means completing a post-doctoral orthodontic residency, passing comprehensive exams, and maintaining continuing education requirements. Dr. Vu has done all of it.

When a general dentist offers clear aligners on the side, tooth movement is an add-on. At Bloom, tooth movement is the entire practice.

Who Comes to Bloom

Long Beach is a city where showing up polished matters, whether you're in Belmont Shore, Bixby Knolls, or downtown. Bloom is built around that reality.
