We are from Fort Worth TX and we are here on vacation. My son lost his bands somewhere while we were out. I just googled orthodontist near my condo and saw Prine Orthodontics. These ladies were so friendly and sweet on helping me, and getting me the bands my son needs for his braces. I also work in the dental field so customer service is my top priority and these people have it. Office is nice and spacious with friendly faces. Thank you again for helping me!

Prine Orthodontics was so helpful and easy to work with! We are from out of town and forgot to pack some supplies for our son but they were able to assist us and get us what we needed without hesitation. Based off this interaction I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an orthodontist!
