Orthodontist Serving Upper Pearl City, HI

Families in the upper Pearl City neighborhoods, Momilani, Waiau, Mānana, and Pearl City Highlands, have a board-certified orthodontic specialist close by. Mililani Orthodontics is a short drive up the H-2, offering braces, Invisalign®, and early treatment for children, teens, and adults, with a free exam for every new patient. We’re a dedicated orthodontic specialty practice: tooth and bite alignment is all we do, and we’d love to be the orthodontist for your hillside neighborhood.

Specialist Care for Upper Pearl City Smiles

Choosing an orthodontist is choosing expertise. Our doctors are Diplomates of the American Board of Orthodontics, and as a Blue Diamond Invisalign Provider, we bring deep experience to every treatment plan. From the upper Pearl City neighborhoods, our office at the Town Center of Mililani is an easy trip up Kamehameha Highway or the H-2, close enough that specialist care never means a long haul into town.

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a child’s first orthodontic check by age 7. Even when treatment can wait, it’s the best way to catch developing issues early and keep every option open. Whether your keiki are ready for that first visit or you’re finally considering treatment for yourself, you’ll get a careful evaluation and a plan built around your goals.

Proud to Serve Upper Pearl City Schools

We’re honored to care for students from some of Hawaiʻi’s standout campuses.

Momilani Elementary, ranked the #1 elementary school in Hawaiʻi by U.S. News, sits right in the neighborhood, alongside Waiau Elementary with its Hawaiian Immersion program, plus Mānana, Lehua, and Pearl City Highlands elementaries and Highlands Intermediate.

We schedule around school and activity calendars, with Saturday morning hours that keep weekdays free for class.

I had my braces removed on March 10, 2026 at Ding Orthopedics Honolulu Honolulu, and I truly can’t say enough great things about my experience. A special thank you to Dr. Tom and her amazing team for their outstanding care throughout my entire treatment.

We’re visiting Hawaii on vacation and my daughter’s wire came off. They got us in right away, were incredibly kind, and fixed it quickly. They didn’t even charge us for the visit. We’re so grateful for their help while we were far from home. Highly recommend!
While on vacation in Hawaii, my daughter had a wire come out of her bracket and was in a lot of discomfort. This orthodontist office was absolutely amazing — they got us in within one day and even saw us right when they opened. The staff was kind, professional, and understanding of the situation. They removed the wire so my daughter wouldn’t be in pain for the rest of our vacation and explained that we could have it properly fixed once we return home. We are so grateful for their quick care and compassion. Highly recommend, especially if you’re traveling and need urgent orthodontic help!
I highly recommend Dung Orthodontics (Honolulu office), especially as an adult patient. The office staff is friendly and professional, and it was easy to call and make a new patient appointment that worked with my schedule. Dr. Todoki fixed the issue with my permanent retainer during my first visit. She worked quickly and gently, and I didn’t experience any discomfort. She also provided two treatment options for an issue I brought up during my appointment, and I didn’t feel like I was being upsold or pressured to make a decision on the spot.
Very great service. Dr and staff are very kind and patient. They fixed my smile and kept me comfortable throughout the process. My smile still looks great many years later!
Highly recommend! Great customer service during each visit and very accommodating. Office is easy to contact. My daughter just had her braces removed and the transformation is phenomenal!
Response from the owner:Thank you Reina for your kind words! We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your experience with our office. Here for you and your family anytime!
Dr. Dung and his staff was really accommodating and kind. They made sure we got an appointment every month and was always sweet to my son asking him how his day was going. They really made it much more convenient for residents of Molokai to be able to get braces.
Response from the owner:Thank you so so much for your kind review! It has been an absolute joy treating your family and we hope to continue serving the Molokai community for many years to come!
We live in Moloka’i and dentistry is hard to find, but this guys would fly out and service all the keiki on the island. You can’t beat their customer service! They were always kind and fun at every appointment. The best of the best!
Response from the owner:Mahalo Sterling, your review made our day! We LOVE our molokai patients and are so blessed to be able to serve the community there. Glad you had a positive experience with us, safe travels back to Molokai!
My son's baby tooth fell out on the plane which was still connected to his braces and they took him in with no questions asked and fixed the problem so we could enjoy our week here for vacation. The dental hygienist was so nice and went out of her way to help us. It definitely shows what kind of staff works here and we can't tell you how much we appreciated it. Thanks again!
Very friendly and accommodating staff. The glue came loose from one tooth for my permanent retainer, my orthodontist is not from here and they still were able to do a rebonding with a good price, and if it still bothered me, I was able to come back for readjustment. I would definitely recommend them.
Thank you Dung Orthodontics!! Great experience! 💫 Super friendly staff that catered to my son’s emergency dental needs. Location was perfect as it was extremely close to our hotel.
I would highly recommend Dung orthodontics! We were here on vacation and my daughter had an issue with her braces. Dr. Tom got her in the same day and fixed the problem. Dr. Tom and the whole team were so very kind, generous and extremely friendly! They turned a stressful situation into a joyful experience!
We were visiting from Australia and my son had an issue with his braces. The team were amazing and were incredibly helpful and very welcoming. Highly recommend them
Great service, friendly staff. Can assist with all your orthodontic needs. They also do Invisalign.
Extraordinary orthodontist! Dr. Shiraki is able to improvise and adapt to complicated situations without invasive surgery or extractions. The office staff is wonderful to work with. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an orthodontist!
Response from the owner:Mahalo for your kind words! We were glad we were able to help!
Life changing for my daughter and her new beautiful smile!
Response from the owner:We are grateful that you took time to let us know how much your daughter's new smile means to all of you! Thank you for being the best part of our practice!
This doctor was always enjoyable and efficient to work with.
Absolutely amazing customer service, and quality of care. I went to their Office with my teeth looking far from the greatest, but when I finished I felt like a million dollars and my teeth looked that way as well. I will continue to carry the advice that was given to me about how to maintain healthy teeth throughout life. I highly recommend, going here definitely changed my life. Thank you. (Btw military friendly)
They are amazing… highly recommend.. Very good staff and very professional.
