Allan Nguyen, Dds Orthodontics

Upland’s Mountain Avenue strip is the kind of stretch where you can grab a coffee, mail a package, and still have time to walk the dog before sunset. Allan Nguyen, DDS Orthodontics sits on that same block, a storefront that handles the kind of work most people only think about when a wire snaps or a retainer goes missing. The office is at 600D N Mountain Ave, tucked between a dry cleaner and a real-estate broker—convenient, if you’re already running errands.

They specialize in the usual orthodontic lineup: metal and clear braces, Invisalign trays, early interceptive treatment for kids, and the occasional emergency visit when a bracket decides to rebel. The place doesn’t advertise flashy tech or boutique pricing; it just shows up on the map when someone types “braces near me.” A single review on Google gives them a 5.0 rating, which, while thin on volume, is the kind of signal that makes you wonder if the first patient was a relative or just someone who really loves straight teeth.

If you’re scheduling a consult or need a quick adjustment, the number (909) 931-0018 connects you to the front desk—no automated menu, just a voice that tells you which Tuesday still has openings. They don’t post hours online, so calling ahead is the only way to avoid a wasted trip. Most people end up there because a friend mentioned it in passing or because the drive from Rancho Cucamonga is shorter than heading all the way to Claremont.

Directions are straightforward if you’re already on Mountain: look for the blue awning and the Subaru parked out front. The sidewalk gets busy around 3 p.m. when school lets out, so anyone with an afternoon appointment might want to leave the car at home and walk over from Euclid instead. It’s the kind of place that doesn’t need a neon sign—just a name on the door and a phone that rings when you need it to.
