Dr. Peter B Lee DDS MS
Q: What do you like about being an orthodontist?
A: Being an orthodontist is truly a rewarding profession because of the emotional impact I can have on patients. I feel very fortunate and privileged to be able to give a person a new smile and the positive outcome that goes along with smile transformations.
Q: Did you always want to be an orthodontist?
A: I always had the dream of following my father’s footsteps of becoming a dentist. It wasn’t until training at USC, where I fell in love with orthodontics.
Q: Why did you want to start your own orthodontic practice?
A: Only with my own office I would be able to set the standard in patient care. I wanted to give my patients choices from the latest advancements in orthodontics. Braces do not mean metal brackets and wires anymore. There are esthetic alternatives such as ceramic braces, invisible braces, and lingual braces. We even use temporary anchorage devices (TADs) now for complex tooth movement. Also, I love the relationships I develop with my patients and wanted to be at a location where I would be there long-term for their siblings, family and the next generation.
Q: What is your favorite part of being an orthodontist?
A: When I get to see my patients smile the day we remove their braces. It’s a great day. The patient is excited and I just can’t wait for them to see the final result. It’s a good day for the whole office!
