My philosophy is to provide my patients with the highest quality of orthodontic care with exceptional service by going the extra mile before, during, and after their treatment. I am inspired when I see changes in my patients, both in how their smiles improve and how their self-confidence grows. Since I started Holliday Orthodontics in 2004, my goal has been to give my patients a healthy smile they can be proud of.
Continuing education is the key to improving how I practice orthodontics and keep up to date with more advanced treatment techniques. We are always improving the way we help patients to have a better and more comfortable treatment experience. At Holliday Orthodontics, we continually update our knowledge of Invisalign invisible braces and various methods of self-ligating bracket technology.
OrthoMasterClass is lead by Dr. Sean Holliday, a Top 1% Invisalign provider and Aligntech Faculty member who has treated over 6,000 clear aligner cases. Having coached numerous immersion courses throughout the years, the team helped build innovations and growth amongst practices nationwide.
I love spending time with my wife, Jacque, and my wonderful kids Sarah, Sophie, Sadie, and Luc. We love to travel and learn about different cultures around the world. I love photography and capturing nature with this medium. Im an avid reader and I also enjoy learning new languages and am fluent in Spanish, speak some French, Italian, and Russian. .
I was born in Chicago. My mother was born in Honoluluand my father in Chicago. I served as a combat medic and emergency medical technician in the United States Army and later received an Army Health Profession Scholarship to attend dental school.
I earned my Doctorate of Dental Surgeryin 1996 from the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry in San Francisco. After dental school, I completed a one-year advanced general dentistry program at Fort Benning, Georgia. I served as a general dentist for five years and then was selected to begin my orthodontic specialty training in 2001 at Wilford Hall Medical Center in San Antonio.
I graduated from Wilford Hall in 2003 and received my certificate in orthodontics. During this time, I also completed research on the effects of fluoride varnish on orthodontic bracket bond strengths, which was published in the American Association of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics.
Upon graduation, I served as the chief of orthodontics at Camp Zama, Japan. In 2007, I earned my orthodontic board certification with the American Board of Orthodontics. Ive also served as chief of orthodontics at Tripler Army Medical Center and at Schofield Barracks Dental Clinic. Since 2011, Ive served as part-time faculty as an associate professor for the Uniformed Services University. Ive been involved teaching orthodontics at the two-year comprehensive dentistry program at Schofield Barracks and mentoring oral surgery residents in orthognathic surgical cases at Tripler.
I enjoy helping patients achieve a lifelong smile that will follow them all the days of their lives. I like to smile and I enjoy helping people smile. I find it very rewarding and fulfilling to see the transformation that takes place inside and out as patients go from crooked teeth to a healthy, clean, well-rounded, and functional arch form.
Some of my hobbies include staying fit by surfing out in the ocean or finding peace by working in the garden. I enjoy talking and spending time with my wife, Rhonda, of more than 25 years and we have three wonderful children who I love:Hannah, Kenji, and Connor.
Orthodontic treatment had a huge impact on my self-confidence and demeanor as a teenager. Having the opportunity to give that gift to someone else is incredibly fulfilling and makes me excited each day to provide care for our patients.
I was born and raised in Honolulu and am thrilled to return home after many years of school on the mainland. During undergrad, my experience working as an orthodontic assistant sparked my passion for orthodontics. I moved to the Midwest in 2012, where I completed both dental school and my orthodontic residency at the University of Missouri-Kansas City.
I cant tell you how happy I am to finally be home and out of the cold weather! Im grateful to be a part of such an amazing team at Holliday Orthodontics and for the opportunity to create beautiful, confident smiles. After all, everyone deserves to have a smile they are proud of!
Im an avid eater and novice cook but I love basically anything to do with food. If Im not eating, you may find me scrolling through Yelp!, looking for the next restaurant to try with friends. Im also passionate about helping the underserved. I was fortunate enough to serve on a dental mission trip to Guatemala in 2016and hope to be able to attend more in the future!
My father, Dr. Arthur Kamisugi, started his orthodontic practice in Honolulu in 1972. I am proud to have the opportunity to carry on the tradition of orthodontic excellence, and love to see many multi-generational families in our practice. We worked together from my return to Hawaii in 2000 until his retirement at the end of 2013. After seven years in solo practice, I am very excited to continue my career as part of the Holliday Orthodontics team.
I was born and raised in Honolulu and attended Punahou School. I participated in volleyball, kayaking, and canoe paddling. I was on the National team for flatwater kayaking for five years and had the opportunity to represent the US in the Junior World Championships and the Pan American Games. I have continued my passion for paddling, and have completed over 20 Molokai to Oahu World Championship races.
These days, I am trying to keep up with my two sons and the many wonderful adventures that bring. I'm trying to get out surfing again, and enjoy running safety for my husband in extra-large surf. I am fortunate to be able to be working with Holliday Orthodontics and have a wonderful team of doctors and staff to work with as well as the amazing patients we meet along the way in creating their beautiful smiles.
My husband and I recently started a non-profit called Plant a Tree, Hawaiito remove invasive plants, perform native reforestation, rehabilitate native habitats and provide carbon relief in Hawaii. We are very excited in our quest to give back to the land and restore our native microclimate and soils.
