Meet Dr. Jeffrey Jang
I enjoy seeing how orthodontic care affects my patients in such positive ways. Due to the nature of dental development, many of my patients are adolescents who are in the midst of maturing into young adults. Over the years, I have discovered that their self-esteem and how they perceive themselves is closely knit to what they see in the mirror. The orthodontic services I am able to provide to my patients result in aesthetically pleasing, healthy smiles. It is very exciting to see my patients gain pride and confidence, and in this way, I am grateful for the opportunities to affect peoples' lives in such a positive way.

Personal
Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with my wife and two sons. I've spent many years coaching baseball, basketball and soccer, as well as running our local Cub Scout Pack. When I have the chance, I love to travel, cook, play golf and tennis. Spectator sports are a passion of mine and I'm a HUGE Giants fan!
