Morita Orthodontics

My son went to Dr. Morita and Dr. Scott when he needed «phase 2» treatment. We are a military family and he had gotten braces in Illinois when he was around 9 years old. He is now in braces again, top and bottom. He’s had them on for about a year and a half and we have already left the island for our next duty station.
We cannot stress enough how awesome this practice is. They definitely work with you as far as budget, payment plans, etc. Everyone at the office is always so nice, too. Ple has always been a pleasure to work with as well as everyone else we dealt with. Super nice, great results and very clean and inviting office. You will not go wrong choosing this practice for your orthodontic needs!

I got my first round of braces here over 10 years ago. But 3 lost retainers later, with crooked beyond repair teeth (oops) and a slightly off bite, I’m back again to get the smile of my dreams. I got metal braces again for the second time yesterday morning.
A lot has changed in the past 10 years, except for the customer service. The customer service is still outstanding and I love working with Dr. Randal Morita. His assistants are also very kind and easy to talk to. He now works with his son Dr. Scott Morita, who I overheard working with patients while getting my braces and he sounds very fun and approachable, compared to his kind, gentle, but mostly-​business father. I wouldn’t mind working with either doctor, but of course, if you’re looking for a very experienced orthodontist, go to Dr. Randal.
The procedure was quick and as painless as possible. They skipped the braces care tips since I’m already familiar with them, but they did still give me a goody bag full of all the things to help make sure my mouth stays in good shape. They helped to give me suggestions for what color bands to get on my braces since I’m not a middle school kid anymore, and I have a job where I need to look more professional.
When I last came here, I had struggled to find parking some days, but now the old lot is closed and there is a new parking garage that is open with plenty of stalls. I parked in the garage for my visit. Since the procedure took a little over 2 hours, I had to pay $ 5 for my stay that morning. If I had been under 2 hours, I would have had to pay $ 3. This was with validation, mind you. It’s kind of expensive if you ask me! I’m contemplating parking nearby and just walking over for my next appointment.
The funniest part was that not only did Dr. Morita remember me from all those years ago but they still had my old file — picture and all. A little embarrassing, but pretty interesting to see how much you’ve changed — not that many people will experience what I had to go through!
Bottom line: if you need to get braces, come here or to their other location in Ala Moana. Convenient, friendly, and experienced doctors will give you the gift of a fantastic smile :)

Best office staff Ive ever encountered, anywhere. I’ve routinely gone in for checkups for my braces and every single time the entire staff is friendly and happy. Dr. Scott Morita is bubbly and always takes time to chit chat with you for a few seconds. Ple, Dr. Morita and all the office girls are phenomenal. I am so glad I chose to come here instead of somewhere else, could not have asked for a better orthodontic experience.
Parking really stinks right now, but hopefully the construction gets done some year =)

Dr. Scott is the best. He is professional and his chair-​side manner is very reassuring. I would high recommend selecting Morita Orthodontics!

Dr. Scott Morita is the best Orthodontist!!! Dr. Scott Morita is very knowledgable and approachable. I trusted him immediately with my orthodontic care. I am so happy with my results so far!!! Not only is he great but his staff is extremely friendly and helpful. I am so happy that I have recommended several close family and friends.

I needed a retainer after my clear aligner treatment and Dr. Scott made me a really great clear one that you can’t even see. It doubles as a nightguard for me since I grind my teeth. Dr. Scott is a really cool guy and very easy to talk to. Thanks Dr. Scott!

If you are looking for an orthodontist who has the latest clinical skills and perfect beside manner, look no further. Dr. Scott is the perfect guy for the job. Extremely knowledgable and friendly, always willing to explain every detail and make you feel 100% comfortable with the treatment he recommends. I just got done with my invisalign treatment and the results are much better than I could have ever imagined. Thank you Dr. Scott and to all the staff at Morita Orthodontics.

Best ortho EVER!!! I was a patient when Dr Morita first started & trust him so much that I bring my children to him. The funny thing is even almost 30 years later, he remembers me, too! So does the office staff. I got my braces on when the office was at Aiea Medical, then later they moved over to Newtown. Looks just the same! The Ala Moana location has definitely gone thru changes! So nice & bright!
Although you may love to hear about the office aesthetics, let me talk about the staff. Dr. Morita has the friendliest, knowledgeable staff. Plee has been there from the very start. She is funny & always makes you feel at ease. Susan seems to always know exactly what you need when you call. The rest of the staff in the back always remember what’s going with you & make you feel at ease.
Parking at Ala Moana is easy. I just park at the mall & walk over (always a good excuse to shop). Newtown is a pain now that they are doing construction for the parking garage. I believe there is valet parking available.
Again, Dr. Morita is the only ortho for me & my family and would recommend others to check him out!

Getting retainers and braces is a bitch! Seriously I have difficulty breathing, eating, and swallowing. Plus, nobody told me before I put these things on how time consuming brushing and flossing will become. To think I have to wear this for 1 ½ years– oh no!
What makes this a better experience is when you have a great team working on your teeth! The staff here are all very nice, professional, and patient. I almost fainted because I couldn’t breathe when putting the railroad tracks on and the person working on my teeth was so understanding. I get clausterphobic so when I was having a «moment» she didn’t treat like a crazy person. Also, braces and retainers are quite expensive. The office is willing to do what they can to help you afford to make straight teeth a reality.
My husband first came to Dr. Morita to fix his teeth. He did not maintain his previous high school brace job and needed to some fixes. Dr. Morita was highly recommended by my regular dentist. We were so happy with his experience I decided to straighten my teeth too.
As for me, I always wanted braces growing up and the weird thing is I didn’t even have braces worthy teeth. They were quite straight. Not only that, the bottom line was that my family couldn’t afford them even if I wanted them. As I aged, my bottom teeth moved and now they are now a crooked mess. Thus the reason for getting braces at a ripe old age of 36!

I am definitely a fan of Randal D. Morita DDS!
Over the years I’ve recommended Dr. Morita to many and have also met others that have been a patient of his, nothing but positive feedback from all. His manager, Plea, is the best and will work with you financially to reach your orthodontic goal.
Parking is not the best, always full on Tuesday afternoons, but well worth the hassle to see Dr. Morita!
