Meet the orthodontists behind your smile
Liberty Station Orthodontics is led by Dr. Paul Upatham and Dr. Katherine Wong, both board-certified orthodontists who share a passion for delivering high-quality, personalized care. Dr. Upatham’s path into orthodontics grew from his love of science and desire to make a positive impact on patients’ lives. He completed advanced training at the University of Southern California and brings years of experience, ongoing education, and a thoughtful, patient-first approach to every treatment plan.
Dr. Wong, a San Diego native, knew early on that orthodontics was the perfect blend of science, medicine, and art. She completed her orthodontic specialty training at USC and is committed to staying current with proven techniques and modern technology. Together, Dr. Upatham and Dr. Wong focus on careful planning, clear communication, and results that are not only beautiful, but functional and long-lasting.
A friendly team and an office that feels welcoming
From the moment you walk through the door, our team works together to make every visit feel easy and comfortable. We pride ourselves on being professional and organized, while still warm, familiar, and fun. Because orthodontic treatment involves regular visits, we take the time to get to know our patients and build genuine relationships along the way.
Our office is designed with patient comfort in mind, featuring amenities like TVs and headphones at each chair to help appointments feel more relaxed. Whether you’re a parent bringing in a child, a teen balancing school and activities, or an adult fitting treatment into a busy schedule, our team is here to support you every step of the way.
Orthodontic care designed around your needs
Liberty Station Orthodontics focuses on comprehensive orthodontic care for children, teens, and adults. Our services include Invisalign clear aligners, traditional and ceramic braces, and early interceptive orthodontics for growing smiles. We use advanced technology such as digital iTero scans and 3D imaging to plan treatment accurately and efficiently.
Every treatment plan is customized based on clinical needs, timing, and personal goals. We take a conservative, thoughtful approach—recommending early treatment only when it truly benefits long-term oral health and guiding patients through each option without pressure. This commitment to individualized care is what makes our practice a trusted choice for families throughout San Diego.
