OrthoWorks is a full-service orthodontic practice in San Bruno, serving the Peninsula from our office on Sneath Lane. We treat children, teens, and adults with braces, Invisalign, Phase I interceptive care, and surgical orthodontic coordination. Nine board-certified orthodontic specialists practice here, all under the leadership of founder Dr. David Shen, DMD.
Orthodontic Care for San Bruno Families
San Bruno is a multi-generational community, and our care reflects that pattern. Parents bring kids in around age 7 for a first evaluation, return for treatment in the teen years, and increasingly start their own care alongside their children. We see students from Capuchino High School, Parkside Intermediate, John Muir Elementary, Belle Air Elementary, and Rollingwood Elementary, plus adult patients from Rollingwood, Crestmoor, Portola Highlands, Bay Hill, and Tanforan.
Every orthodontist on our San Bruno team completed two to three additional years of full-time orthodontic residency after dental school and practices only orthodontics. That focus matters most for kids in the mixed-dentition stage, for surgical cases that require coordination with oral surgery, and for adult patients whose cases involve restorative or periodontal complexity.
What Sets OrthoWorks Apart
Dr. David Shen, DMD, founded OrthoWorks. He earned his DMD at the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, ranks among the top five most experienced Invisalign providers globally, and chairs the Advisory Board at Penn’s School of Dental Medicine. He served on the UCSF faculty and is the founding president of the Northern California Asian Dental Association. He has lectured internationally, including at the American Association of Orthodontists Annual Convention. Together with our six other board-certified orthodontists, our team carries more than 100 combined years of experience and has treated more than 60,000 patients across the Bay Area. OrthoWorks is the longest-standing privately owned orthodontic group in the region.
Serving Patients Near Sneath Lane and the Tanforan Corridor
Our office sits on Sneath Lane in west San Bruno, a road named for Richard G. Sneath, whose Jersey Farm Dairy once covered much of the area. The Sneath Lane Trail is nearby for outdoor breaks before or after visits. The Shops at Tanforan, San Bruno’s only enclosed shopping mall and the site of the former Tanforan Race Track, is a familiar nearby anchor. Patients from Rollingwood, Crestmoor, Portola Highlands, Bay Hill, and the Tanforan triangle reach us in minutes. We also serve Millbrae, South San Francisco, Burlingame, and the wider Peninsula corridor. The SFO and Caltrain access points make us easy to reach for families across the area.
What to Expect
Your first visit is a complimentary orthodontic consultation. We complete a full exam, take photos and digital scans, and present every viable treatment option in language you can use to decide. For young kids, that often means a monitor-and-grow plan rather than immediate treatment. For teens and adults, we compare braces and Invisalign side by side with realistic timelines and pricing. Treatment visits run every 6 to 10 weeks. Every case ends with custom retainers and a lifetime retention plan.
