Dr. David Chen emigrated from his native Taiwan with his family in pursuit of the American dream when he was eight years old, eventually settling in San Jose, California. Sometime during his formative high school years, he discovered and came to appreciate the field of orthodontics. It is this path that he chose to follow, as he entered the University of California, Davis, for his undergraduate studies.

After receiving his B.S. in biological studies, Dr. Chen went on the University of California, San Francisco, where he earned his Doctorate of Dental Surgery degree. He later attended the University of Florida, Gainesville, earning his Orthodontic Certificate and Master’s degree in Dental Sciences. During his collegiate tenure, Dr. Chen was involved with many organizations and clubs, serving several different leadership posts along the way.

Dr. Chen’s professional orthodontics career began in Northern California, where he spent time in the San Francisco Bay Area as well as the greater Sacramento metro area. Along the way, he has utilized his diversified knowledge and expertise, while gaining tremendous exposure working with patients of all ages, backgrounds and orthodontic needs.

Along with this unique background, Dr. Chen carries with him a strong work ethic and enthusiasm for applying state-

Dr. Chen really enjoys orthodontics as a profession. To him, i t s a very fun, challenging, and rewarding career. Dr. Chen applies his all-around knowledge with high-quality, patient-focused attention. His service to his patients, helping them achieve the perfect smile, is his top-of-mind priority—and he is motivated to improve the lives of others one smile at a time!

and studied post-graduate orthodontics school in Florida end up in Houston? Three words. Opportunity. Passion. Community. Dr. Chen realized the opportunity to take over the former Village Orthodontics was indeed his American dream come true. Reinventing and reopening True Image Orthodontics allows him to continue his passion of delivering orthodontic care to others. Eagerly, he enhances patients’ lives by building them new smiles.

Moreover, Dr. Chen desires to serve a meaningful contribution to the Houston-area community. In commemoration of October being National Orthodontic Health Month, True Image Orthodontics is participating in Candy Buy-Back Program for its patients. The week following Halloween, Dr. Chen will buy back any candy and donate it to U.S. military personnel who are serving their country, currently stationed overseas.

The benefits of the candy buy-back program are twofold: It both helps children in the preventions of cavities and is a rewarding effort to show our appreciation to the American servicemen and –women. True Image Orthodontics is proud to team with you through this fun, charitable cause.

Dr. Chen and his True Image Orthodontics staff look forward to meeting you and serving the Cypress area. Go online to www.trueimageortho.com for more information and to schedule an appointment today!
