Went to Booth for braces when I was younger and came back 10+ years later when I started having issues with my teeth. Got set up with Invisalign and fixed the problem in a few months. Staff is very communicative and super accommodating!

Words can not explain how much I loved my treatment at Booth Orthodontics! I knew I wanted to get my teeth straightened at some point so I asked my dentist what my options were. They told me that I wouldn't qualify for Invisalign so I was recommended to visit Booth for braces. Originally VERY disappointed with the news because what young adult would want braces?! I went in for a consultation and it turned out I DID in fact qualify for Invisalign and then I was sent on my two year journey to creating a beautiful smile I have today! I was extremely pleased with the treatment and the monthly payment plan that helped me a lot financially. The staff was always willing to let me come in as soon as possible to fix something if it had ever broke or fallen out in my mouth. Never expected to love this journey as much as I do looking back! If you are considering making Booth your go to orthodontic center to get a beautiful smile, I promise you, you will not regret it!

Booth has to be THE BEST Ortho on the southwest side. The office staff is amazing, reaction to issues like a broken wire are above and beyond and Dr. Booth is top notch. My son just got his braces off yesterday and his smile is absolutely perfect! Will be using them again when my other son is ready.

Our experience at Booth Orthodontics office was just SUPERB!!! The front desk receptionists are VERY professional in their craft and compassionate towards their patients. They always worked around our work/school schedule when scheduling our next appointments. The orthodontist specialists were VERY knowledgeable and after removing my child's braces her teeth came out BEAUTIFULLY! Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication and we rate this dental office a 10 out of 10!!!

My son was fitted for Invisalign to fix a gap in his front teeth and spacing in mouth. It was such an easy and pain free way to fix my son's problems. I highly recommend going with Invisalign if you can. The staff here at Booth are ...

I had my braces off 16 years ago, came in today to have a wire fixed, and they have not changed a bit! They're still the friendliest people, and the doctor is fantastic!
