Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Brenda. It’s wonderful to hear your positive thoughts!
I definitely did my fair share of shopping around the city for Invisalign and eventually landed at Image Orthodontics in the Mission. I have nothing but praise for this office and practice, and you rest assured that they use the most up-to-date technology and make the entire experience feel modern and efficient. The office is always very clean, and my experience with Dr. Ng has been nothing short of amazing. The team makes the process as seamless as possible, and they genuinely make you feel valued as a patient. I highly recommend anyone looking for orthodontic work to check them out in the Mission.
Response from the owner:Hi Samson, we’re so happy to hear your kind feedback. Thank you for taking the time to share!
Dr. Ng is THE BEST! Great staff, wonderful prices (and I’ve shopped AROUND for Invisalign - best cost in SF with discount deals often), and great experience overall They made the often scary and enduring process of Invisalign so seamless, easy, and comfortable!
Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing your experience, Rebecca. It means so much to us!

I’ve had such a great experience with this orthodontist office! The entire team is incredibly welcoming, professional, and genuinely cares about their patients. From the moment you walk in, you feel comfortable and well taken care of. A special thank you to Monica, Jairo, Mari, Laura, Sandy, and Dr. Ng — each of them goes above and beyond to make every visit a positive one. They take the time to explain every step of the process clearly, which really helped ease any concerns I had. The office is clean, modern, and runs efficiently—appointments are always on time, which I really appreciate. What stands out the most is how friendly and patient everyone is, especially with families and kids. They truly make what could be a stressful experience feel easy and even enjoyable. I’m so happy with the results so far and would highly recommend this office to anyone looking for a trustworthy and skilled orthodontist!

Response from the owner:Gracias por compartir tu experiencia, Lis. ¡Significa mucho para nosotros!
Response from the owner:Thank you!
I had a great experience with Dr. Ng and the team. I previously had braces, but I didn’t wear my retainers as I should have, so my teeth ended up shifting over time. I also mentioned that I had TMJ surgery beforehand, and Dr. Ng was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and kind when discussing my situation. He really took the time to listen and provided thoughtful feedback about my options moving forward. I felt heard and well cared for throughout the visit. I would highly recommend Dr. Ng to anyone looking for an orthodontist!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words, Joanna. We’re so glad to hear you had a great experience!
Thank you to the Image Ortho Team! I came in asking for help with my teeth and they delivered! Everyone was great every time I came in and always looked out for me! Thank you!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review, Pablo. We’re thrilled you had a great experience with our team!
Response from the owner:Hi Adriana, we appreciate your positive review and your support. Thank you!
