Our 10 year old recently started the process of getting a palate expander. He has quite a bit of anxiety and they have been so patient with him! I love the opportunity to earn points that he can cash in for prizes. That's a great bonus too! The staff is kind, the office is clean, and it's been a great experience so far! I would highly recommend Dr. Jaw to anyone in Tucson!

A little over a year ago i had intense pain in my jaw that turbed out to be tendonitis. Went to the ER where they did nothing, went to my dentist where all they did was give me medication that made me sick. Then my mom and i had the idea of going to a chyropractor where he told us it wasnt dental it was a tendon that he couldnt get to relax. My mom then remembered that she set up an appointment here and called to see if in fact she did. The next day we were there, Dr Weaver felt around a bit then took me over to the Ultrasound machine where i finally found relief. Well we went back to the treatment room when it came back. Dr Weaver came back in and told me " we arent gonna let you leave before we find out whats going on" i was given mobility exercises and it has pretty much went away other than a few flare ups now and again. Dr weaver and everyone at Dr Jaw are miracle workers

My daughter and I have both been to Dr. Weaver for TMJ evaluations and treatments. I have been to doctors, dentists, and even other orthodontists about my clicking and locking jaw for years and had just given up. I finally called around again when my jaw had been locked open again for over a month and Dr. Jaw could get me in. He got it relaxed, assured me that wasn't always possible and sent me home to let it rest. Then had me come back in and in moments had felt around and had me opening and closing without clicking, while putting pressure on certain spots of course. He recommended a specific kind of brace and I now wear it and things are great! He is amazing! Like I said when my daughter started having a similar problem I took her straight to Dr. Jaw right away! The office is always clean, the patients are always happy, the staff is so friendly and upbeat. I enjoy every single visit.

The staff that does the dental work is super. Ice, but they are definitely a price gouging shop. They are very expensive to begin with, and their financial folks are trained to do whatever it takes to try to get you to avoid using your insurance, as they don't want to take the markdown most insurance companies negotiate, thereby lowering what the orthodontist can charge the patient/insurance. If I had the time, or couldn't afford it, I'd definitely go elsewhere.

Dr. Robison was excellent. She was patient, honest and compassionate. This was my second time getting braces and I would do it again under her care. I appreciated her level of support and the amount of educational tips/information she would give me during my treatment process. Dr. Jaws Orthodontist is by far the best orthodontist office in Tucson.

Dr. Jaw is the bomb as far as I am concerned! 3 kids received their braces from Dr. Jaw. The staff is friendly and helpful and Dr. Laura and Dr. Kyle are the kindest people you will meet. They take their time with each patient and make sure their teeth are doing just what they need to do to have that fabulous smile! Rosi the office manager is helpful and soft spoken and knows the business inside and out. Clean and Covid safe too! You won't be sorry if you chose Dr. Jaw for all your Orthodontic needs. We love them and they always have awesome music playing to ease your anxiety while being treated.

We went there for the first time, yesterday. Dr. Rabe was super clear about the treatment plan he will be doing on my son. He was great with my kiddo and made him feel comfortable. Very friendly staff and patient with the kids. I'm very happy to be starting treatment with them. I'm looking forward to many more visits! Thank you!

As an adult going through orthodontic procedure, I was pretty cranky going there the first time. But all the staff and doctors in this place are fun and kind and make you feel welcome! Two years later I have a really nice smile and I am grateful for all their work
