My daughter has a beautiful smile! When she was a young teen she never opened her mouth to smile now she is really happy to show off her smile with all her teeth. We have been going to see Dr. Agenter since 2016 and are very pleased with the service. The whole staff is very accommodating and flexible to our schedule and always willing to answer any questions. Before we went to them I was afraid we would be locked into a course of treatment that we did not want. Dr. Agenter took the time to go through multiple options and get us set up with a solution that best fit our daughter. Also the follow up after she was finished with braces is wonderful.

My oldest daughter is very happy with her new smile thanks to Dr. Mike, Dr. Ashley and all of the amazing staff at Shine. We always felt the appointments were very personalized and they always listened and made the experience very comfortable. We are happy to have our younger daughter start her treatments next knowing the detail and care that is put into each patient.

The experience we have had with Shine Orthodontics has been completely positive. They are a friendly welcoming staff. My daughter had braces with them and her teeth look amazing and we plan to bring both our boys to Shine when they need braces. I like how they are up front with cost and make it easy to plan payments.
