About Dr. Jamie Kim

Dr. Jamie Kim is a board-certified orthodontist in Norcross, GA, known for her advanced expertise in pediatric airway-focused orthodontics, custom digital braces, Invisalign and early interceptive treatment. She has created thousands of healthy, confident smiles by combining precision, innovation and a comprehensive understanding of facial growth and airway development.

Board-Certified Orthodontic Care

Dr. Kim is a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics, a credential held by fewer than one-third of practicing orthodontists in the United States. Board certification requires rigorous written and clinical examinations and demonstrates a commitment to the highest standards of orthodontic practice. Her evaluation always begins with a thorough review of the bite, jaw relationship, tooth position and, for growing patients, airway function and growth pattern. The goal is not just straighter teeth but a bite that functions well and a smile that holds its result over time.

Braces and Custom Digital Braces

A recognized leader in digital orthodontics, Dr. Kim is a Key Opinion Leader for KLOwen Braces, Inc., specializing in full custom 3D digital braces. She lectures nationally through webinars and consults with orthodontists seeking to transition into fully customized digital workflows. Dr. Kim was among the first orthodontists in the country to fully transition her practice to comprehensive 3D custom treatment, integrating advanced 3D imaging, artificial intelligence, CBCT technology and doctor-guided digital planning to deliver fewer visits, greater precision and more efficient treatment outcomes.

Invisalign and Clear Aligners

Dr. Kim is among the more experienced Invisalign providers in Gwinnett County. She plans every case with precision imaging, thoughtful timelines and ongoing support. Each set of aligners is custom made to fit the patient's bite and goals. Invisalign uses a series of custom-fit plastic trays that move teeth incrementally through controlled, planned stages. The planning process maps each stage of movement in 3D software, and a simulation of the projected result is reviewed with the patient before treatment begins.

Early Orthodontic Treatment

Dr. Kim evaluates children for orthodontic concerns during their growth years, identifying bite problems, crowding, jaw development issues and spacing concerns that respond better to early guidance than to treatment after growth is complete. Early orthodontic evaluations are recommended around age seven, when the first permanent molars and incisors have come in and a trained eye can spot developing problems that a general dentist may not flag.

Airway-Focused Orthodontics

Dr. Kim is especially passionate about early pediatric airway evaluation and treatment. She focuses on identifying airway concerns, jaw development issues and growth patterns in children at a young age, often using palatal expanders and growth-guided orthodontic therapies to support proper breathing, sleep quality and facial development. Her philosophy goes beyond straight teeth. She prioritizes long-term function, airway health and facial harmony. When a child mouth breathes, snores or shows certain growth patterns, those signs can sometimes point to airway-related concerns that respond well to early orthodontic guidance.

Commitment From Dr. Kim
"I promise my patients that your smile will be my #1 priority, from the moment you walk into our office until your treatment is completed. I feel blessed that my profession involves creating beautiful smiles for my patients and, along the way, giving them the functional bites that will last a lifetime. The best part of being an orthodontist is the interactions I have with my patients and the opportunity to educate them on the different aspects of their oral health.
