About

Dr. Kami Hoss holds board-level orthodontic credentials anchored in Chula Vista's Otay Ranch area, practicing from 2226 Otay Lakes Road as part of The Super Dentists network serving the 91915 corridor near Otay Ranch Town Center. Phase-one interceptive orthodontic treatment starting as early as age seven identifies jaw-growth patterns that can affect airway and craniofacial development, an interdisciplinary pediatric concern that connects dental screening with comprehensive wellness providers including Eastlake Optometry along the same South Bay family-health corridor. Dr. Hoss earned his DDS from UCLA School of Dentistry, a Master of Science in Craniofacial Biology from the University of Southern California, and completed his postdoctoral residency in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics at USC. He serves on the Board of Counselors at UCLA's School of Dentistry and has held faculty appointments at USC's postgraduate orthodontic program, maintaining memberships in the American Association of Orthodontists, the ADA, the California Dental Association, and the San Diego Dental Society. Severe dental anxiety in the pediatric caseload is managed through behavioral desensitization protocols, with complex phobia cases coordinated alongside therapeutic providers such as Pathways Family Therapy Chula Vista for cognitive-behavioral intervention before treatment begins. The practice's most advanced orthodontic interventions include surgically facilitated accelerated osteogenic orthodontics combined with temporary anchorage device placement, compressing multi-year treatment timelines into months through corticotomy-assisted tooth movement.
