Introducing Your Smile Architect

Led by the best, our practice is built on a foundation of trust, innovation, and a patient-first approach that transforms smiles and lives.

Susan S. So

DMD, MMSc

Dr. Susan So is a caring, gentle, and experienced board-certified orthodontist specializing in treatment for children, teens, and adults. She earned her college and dental degree from the University of Pennsylvania and her orthodontics specialty training and master’s degree in medical science from Harvard University.

As a board-certified orthodontist, she has met and exceeded the standards of her profession and continues to do so through providing lectures to dentists and hygienists, and through continuing education courses and professional organizations. She is a member of the American Association of Orthodontists, the California Association of Orthodontists, and the Pacific Coast Society of Orthodontists. Previously, she acted as an orthodontic consultant in the craniofacial department at the Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital at Stanford University.

Prior to practicing orthodontics, Dr. So practiced as a general dentist, hygienist, and dental assistant. After graduating from the orthodontics program, she ran a successful orthodontic practice in New York for several years before moving to California to be close to her family.

Dr. So enjoys spending her free time with her family and friends, running, swimming, biking, and playing the guitar and piano.

Dr. So’s intent is to create the best smiles using the latest technology in orthodontics while providing the highest quality of care. She thoroughly enjoys getting to know her patients and hopes to provide a fun, motivational, and positive experience during the process. She believes that everyone deserves to have a beautiful smile. Not only will you look better, but you will feel better and improve your confidence, self-esteem, and quality of life.
