Dr. Thai Vinh Nguyen is a dentist who works hard to provide his patients with more than just straight teeth. He has extensive training in dentofacial orthopedics and orthodontics, myofascial pain, and TMD treatments. He has attended over 1,600 hours of training in the areas of TMJ, sleep apnea, orthodontics, and orthopedics. His goal as a dentist is to provide his patients with beautiful smiles, as well as better muscle harmony, healthy TMJ, and a better facial profile. He believes that many oral health concerns can be handled with non-extraction treatments and early intervention.

Dr. Nguyen attended the University of Washington in 1999 where he earned his Bachelor of Science in Biology degree and his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. Since graduating, he has practiced dentistry in both Tacoma and Auburn and is a founder of the AGD-national-approval study club, Northwest Comprehensive Orthodontics/TMD Seminars Group. He has given lectures to other dental care providers on orthodontic and TMD treatments since 2010 and has written extensively on the same topic for the International Journal of Orthodontics. In 2013, he was invited to speak at the Vietnamese-American Physicians, Dentists and Pharmacists Association, as well as the International Association for Orthodontics in Hollywood.

He is currently a diplomate of the International Board of Orthodontics. He is also an IAO Senior Certified Instructor and a Fellow at the International Association for Orthodontics and is a Fellow at the Academy of Dentistry International and the Pierre Fauchard Academy.
