Orthodontist

“I feel truly lucky to be an orthodontist. Being a specialist allows me to use my extensive training to provide the best orthodontic care to my patients. Working with so many unique people every day makes going to work fun and exciting. I'm most passionate about the changes that I'm able to have on our patients’ lives. Giving them the self-confidence to smile and having an impact on their lives, however large or small, is very rewarding.” — Dr. Chung

Dr. Chung earned his Bachelor of Science at the University of Windsor and received the Governor General’s Academic Medal for graduating at the top of the class. His Doctorate of Dental Surgery was completed at the University of Toronto, where he graduated with Honours, receiving numerous academic and clinical awards.

Office Manager

I graduated from the University of Toronto Pharmacy program in 2009. I worked as a pharmacist for 15 years before transitioning to my new career as office manager of Aurora Braces. Customer service has always been the part of my work that I most enjoyed. It has been an absolute pleasure for me to meet the families that come to our office and be a part of this orthodontic community. I am married to Dr. Chung and we have 2 kids. I love movies and binging tv shows, discovering new places and experiences with my family, and am a bit of a foodie.

Level II Dental Assistant

I graduated Intra Oral Dental Assisting with Honours at Toronto College of Dental Hygiene and Auxiliaries in 2024. I started out working in general dental practice but found my passion in orthodontics. I love meeting new people and seeing them smile with great confidence after their treatment. Here at Aurora Braces, we make sure that our patients receive quality care as well as a top-notch dental experience.

Registered Orthodontic Dental Hygienist

I earned my Dental Hygiene diploma in 2007 and have been a part of Aurora Braces since then. In addition to teaching our patients about oral hygiene habits, I also assist Dr. Chung by bonding braces, changing arch wires, and performing orthodontic adjustments. No matter what my day brings, I always know that it will be full of meaningful interactions with a variety of people. It's truly a pleasure to have such a positive impact on someone’s life. I live in Aurora with my husband and two kids. We are a very musical family – come catch us at our live local performances!

Level II Dental Assistant

I graduated as a dental assistant in 2005 and have been working in most of the dental specialties since then. I joined Aurora Braces in 2023 and it has been an absolute pleasure being part of this wonderful team and to be able to help our patients achieve their ideal smiles.
