Why Life Orthodontics Is a Great Choice for Families in Tustin
At Life Orthodontics, located in Tustin, Dr. Robert Lee and Dr. Sarah Pi have built more than just an orthodontic practice — they’ve created an ortho home. Life Orthodontics is a place where patients are treated like family, where cutting-edge care meets genuine compassion, and where your family’s smile is supported not just during treatment, but for life. Here’s why Life Orthodontics is the best choice for orthodontic treatment for families in Tustin and beyond.
Your Ortho Home — For Life
Most orthodontic offices focus solely on the treatment phase of your child’s smile journey, but at Life Orthodontics, we think bigger. We’ve redefined what an orthodontic practice can be by creating a long-term orthodontic home — a place where your family is supported before, during, and long after active treatment.
We offer free growth and smile evaluations starting at age 7, and we keep an eye on your child’s development annually so there are no surprises later. Once treatment is complete, we continue to support your family with our Smile for Life Guarantee, designed to protect your investment and keep your smile healthy for the long haul.
Meet Dr. Robert Lee and Dr. Sarah Pi
Dr. Lee and Dr. Pi are award-winning, board-certified orthodontists who trained at UCLA and UCSF — two of the top programs in the country. Their accolades include:
- National Case of the Year (AAO, 2022)
- 40 Under 40 Top Dentists in America (2024)
- Most published orthodontists in Orange County
- Co-inventors of InBrace, the revolutionary behind-the-teeth braces system
- Clinical professors at UCSF, where they teach clear aligner therapy
More importantly, they bring a family-first philosophy to everything they do. Having gone through orthodontic treatment themselves and with their own families, they treat every patient the way they would treat their own family member — with honesty, kindness, and clinical excellence.
Smile for Life Guarantee: A Lifelong Commitment
We know that life happens — retainers get lost, patients forget to wear them, and sometimes teeth shift. That’s why we offer every comprehensively treated patient our exclusive Smile for Life Guarantee, which includes:
- Retainer Insurance – Lost or broken retainers are replaced at a fraction of the typical cost.
- Life Smile Insurance – If teeth shift due to lack of retainer wear, retreatment is available at a deeply discounted rate (not a full fee like most other practices charge).
This gives patients peace of mind and saves thousands of dollars over time — something no other practice in the area offers at this level.
Clinical Excellence Meets Efficiency
We offer a full range of orthodontic services for kids, teens, and adults — including:
- Clear aligners (e.g., Angel Aligner, Invisalign)
- Traditional braces
- Early interceptive orthodontics
We’re also the first fully digital orthodontic practice in Tustin, using advanced 3D scanning and treatment planning to customize each smile and achieve faster, more efficient results. Our digital workflow means fewer appointments, less missed school/work, and a smoother experience overall.
We Treat All Ages—Because the Whole Family Deserves to Smile
Whether your child is ready for their first consultation, or you’re an adult looking for discreet treatment options, Life Orthodontics is the place for your whole family. Our kid-friendly environment and adult-friendly technology make treatment easy and comfortable at any age.
