Dr Wendan Li

Dr. Wendan Li, DDS, MS

Columbia University BA Neuroscience (magna cum laude) | UCSF DDS | Columbia MS and Certificate in Orthodontics (Chief Resident)

Dr. Li did not get braces growing up. She went through orthodontic treatment herself as an adult while in dental school. That firsthand experience of sitting in the chair, going through the process, and seeing the result is what drives the way she treats every Vallejo patient.She explains clearly, takes her time, and makes sure patients leave every appointment knowing exactly where their treatment stands. Her advice to every patient: wear your elastics as instructed, keep your teeth clean, and avoid hard foods that could break brackets. Those three habits make the biggest difference in how fast and smoothly treatment goes.Away from the office: avid home cook and baker, Warriors fan, Jeopardy devotee, hiker, and traveler.

Dr. Rael Bernstein, DDS

Wits Dental School, South Africa (graduated top of class) | SUNY Buffalo Orthodontic Residency | Clinical Assistant Professor, University Faculty

Dr. Bernstein founded WOW! Smiles and has built it into a nine-location practice across Northern California. He has lectured nationally to other orthodontists on self-ligation and early interception techniques, which means the approach at WOW! Smiles Vallejo reflects genuine clinical expertise rather than simply having access to modern equipment.His commitment at every location: the most current and effective orthodontic methods, delivered in an environment that is genuinely friendly and energetic. Every patient deserves both the best result and the best experience.Away from the office: go-kart racer, snowboarder, fitness enthusiast, and devoted to his wife Debbie and their two daughters.

Braces or Invisalign? Here Is How to Think About It

One of the most common questions Vallejo patients bring to their free consultation is whether to choose braces or Invisalign. The honest answer is that the right choice depends on the individual case. Here is a practical comparison to help you think it through before you sit down with Dr. Li or Dr. Bernstein.

Factor Pitts21 Braces Invisalign
Visibility Metal or ceramic, visible Clear trays, nearly invisible
Removable No, fixed throughout Yes, for meals and cleaning
Patient compliance needed None, works continuously 20 to 22 hours daily wear
Food restrictions Yes, avoid hard and sticky foods None when trays are removed
Case range Full range including complex Mild to complex, case dependent
Appointment frequency Every 6 to 8 weeks Every 6 to 10 weeks
Best for All ages, especially kids and teens Teens and adults who want discretion

Not sure which fits your case? That is exactly what the free consultation is for. Dr. Li and Dr. Bernstein assess the specific clinical demands of your teeth and bite, then give you an honest recommendation. Visit the orthodontic info center for more detail on both treatment options.

Orthodontic Care for Every Age in Vallejo

Why Seeing a Specialist Orthodontist in Vallejo Matters

This question is worth answering directly. Any licensed dentist in California can legally offer braces or Invisalign. An orthodontic specialist has done something additional: two to three years of full-time residency training at an accredited orthodontic program after dental school, focused exclusively on tooth movement, jaw development, and bite mechanics.

General Dentist Offering Braces WOW! Smiles Specialist Orthodontist
Dental degree only Dental degree plus 2 to 3 year orthodontic residency
Orthodontics as one of many services Orthodontics as the sole specialty
Limited case volume in complex cases High case volume across full range of presentations
May use standard bracket systems Pitts21 self-ligating technology for optimized movement
General dental training in jaw mechanics Dedicated residency training in bite and jaw alignment

 

Only professionals who have completed an accredited orthodontic residency are permitted to call themselves orthodontists. Every doctor at WOW! Smiles holds that specialist qualification. That is the standard at every location including Vallejo.
