At Life Orthodontics, located in Tustin and bordering Irvine, Dr. Robert Lee and Dr. Sarah Pi
have built more than just an orthodontic practice – they’ve created an ortho home – a place
where patients are treated like family, receive high-quality comprehensive care, and have their
orthodontic needs taken care of for life.
Meet Dr. Robert Lee and Dr. Sarah Pi
Dr. Robert Lee and Dr. Sarah Pi are award-winning, board-certified orthodontists who earned
their degrees at UCLA and UCSF. They were honored with the prestigious National Case of the
Year award by the American Association of Orthodontists in 2022 and were named among the
40 Under 40 Top Dentists in America in 2024. As the most published orthodontists in Orange
County, the co-inventors and foremost authorities of the InBrace system (behind-the-teeth
braces), and part-time professors at UCSF on clear aligner therapy (e.g., Invisalign), they bring
unparalleled expertise to every patient they treat. Dr. Lee’s and Dr. Pi’s treatment philosophy is
to treat patients like their own family with integrity, kindness, and excellence. With their
exceptional expertise and their compassionate, patient-focused approach, your family’s smiles
are in the best hands at Life Orthodontics.
Why Life Orthodontics is a Great Choice for Families
As orthodontists who have experienced the journey of braces and clear aligners for themselves
and with their families, Dr. Lee and Dr. Pi understand what it feels like for patients and their
families to go through orthodontic treatment. With their experiences in mind, they stand by the
following principles to achieve their primary goal of making orthodontic treatment reliable,
honest, smooth, and enjoyable for their patients.Your Ortho Home
At Life Orthodontics, Dr. Lee and Dr. Pi have redefined what an orthodontic practice can be by
establishing a home base that takes care of their patients’ orthodontic needs for life. Dr. Lee and
Dr. Pi refer to this as an ortho home which is very different from most other orthodontic practices
that primarily focus on the period of time your child’s teeth are being straightened. At the Life
Orthodontics ortho home, Dr. Lee and Dr. Pi will monitor and care for your child’s smile before,
during, and after their teeth are straightened. They offer free evaluations to monitor your child’s
teeth annually starting from age 7 and a Smile for Life guarantee where they will help maintain
the smile they’ve created for your child for life.
Smile for Life Guarantee
Life happens – retainers get lost or broken, and teeth shift. Dr. Lee and Dr. Pi understand the
challenges of maintaining a perfect smile for a lifetime, which is why they’ve created their Smile
for Life Guarantee. This exclusive program provides Retainer and Life Smile Insurance to all of
their comprehensively treated patients, providing peace of mind for parents. With Retainer
Insurance, if your child’s retainer is lost or broken, it’ll be replaced at a fraction of the cost other
practices charge. With Life Smile Insurance, if your child’s teeth shift due to not wearing their
retainers, retreatment is covered at a significantly reduced price unlike other practices that
would charge another full treatment fee. This commitment to lifelong care not only ensures your
child’s smile but also saves you thousands of dollars in the future compared to other practices,
making Life Orthodontics the best value for orthodontic treatment in Orange County.
Clinical Excellence and Efficiency
Dr. Lee and Dr. Pi offer comprehensive orthodontic services for all ages which includes braces,
clear aligners, InBrace (hidden, behind-the-teeth braces), and early interceptive orthodontics.
They use state-of-the-art technology and a personalized approach to meticulously craft their
patients’ smiles, tailored to their unique needs. Notably, they are the first orthodontic practice in
Tustin to embrace a fully digital workflow. With a digital workflow, prior to commencing
treatment, Dr. Lee and Dr. Pi meticulously plan out every smile on the computer, enabling them
to chart the most efficient path toward achieving their patient’s ideal smile. This leads to faster
results with fewer appointments for their patients which means less school missed for your child.
