Meet the Doctors

Meet the Doctors of Dung Orthodontics

Dung Orthodontics is led by three board-certified orthodontists, each a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics. For nearly four decades, our doctors have created healthy, confident smiles for Honolulu and ʻAiea families, combining genuine local roots with the highest credential in the specialty.

Medically reviewed by Dr. David Dung, DDS, MS, Board-Certified Orthodontist.

When you choose Dung Orthodontics, you are choosing a team where every doctor is board-certified, a distinction only about one in three orthodontists earns. Whichever of our doctors guides your care, you can count on the same standard of expertise, honesty, and warmth.
