For most people, achieving a healthy, beautiful smile is the reason for receiving orthodontic care. If you're self-conscious about your smile, correcting your concerns with braces will greatly improve the way you look and feel.
When your treatment is complete, you will have the smile you've always dreamed of and the confidence to show it off! We also want you to feel comfortable and confident throughout your entire orthodontic experience, and our practice is dedicated to making sure that you receive the quality care you deserve.
Orthodontic appliances are made of metal, ceramic, or plastic. They may be removable or they may be brackets bonded to the teeth. By placing a constant, gentle force in a carefully controlled direction, braces slowly move teeth to the proper position.
Gone are the days when a metal band with a bracket was placed around each tooth. You can now choose clear or metal brackets, and in some cases, you can even choose the color of your appliance. Wires are far less noticeable, and the latest materials are designed to move teeth faster with more comfort. Today, any age is a great age to wear braces!
Treatment time varies and can last between one and three years depending on several factors, including age, treatment method, and the severity of your case. A big factor in a successful treatment is you! The more involved and diligent you are, the more efficient your treatment will be. For children, receiving interceptive or early treatment can also help provide a quicker treatment time.

For 4 months I tried to schedule an appointment for my son and every time they cancelled on me. Two days before the appointment they would call me to tell me that I needed to reschedule because the doctor would not be in. There is no direct line to reach the office (the phone number found online sends you to a third party answering service) so there was no way to get in contact with someone who actually works there to fix this issue. I am completely disappointed with this place since we had a pretty good first experience. We never heard back from a manager like we were told we would. I am never going back there again and you shouldn't either. Would give 0 stars if I could.

Had scheduled an appointments the next available date was Tuesday at 2:00pm. I Get to my appointment only to have a worker by the door telling me they are close. When they're the ones that scheduled me. This was by far a waste of gas and time.

The ortho appointments are always to far out from each other. There is never a permanent ortho doctor which makes it hard for the treatment the patients get. One does one thing and the next one doesnt agree and does something else. I wish I would have taken my son elsewhere for his braces.

Very difficult getting a hold of the office. No one ever answers the phone or calls back if a message is left. Office hours listed on website are not accurate.

After months of trying to get in, leaving messages with no call back or the mailbox being full, I finally got an appointment with the help of the Office Manager after going on the website and constantly clicking on the chat function over and over asking for someone to call me. Went in to find out that the plan they had for my daughter was not sufficient. She's been wearing her braces for almost 2 years. We have to start the process all over again. The pictures they took, the whole plan, everything was done incorrectly. This was done by the Dr who left in August, who has yet to be replaced. I was told she needs another 10 months. I'm so mad I'm seeing red. I'm currently in thought of what what my next steps are going to be. How does a so called professional allow this to happen.

I NOT WOULD RECOMMEND THEY DO NOT KNOW THEIR HOURS. THEY DO NOT HAVE AN ORTHODONTIST AS THEY KEEP GETTING FIRED. DO NOT DO ANYTHING THAT INVOLVES BRACES YOU WILL LOSE YOUR JOB COMING TO THIS PLACE EVERYWEEK. They also can't get billing right.

Excellent place! They always make my kids and I feel comfortable while being there! We are extremely happy to be patients here! The only reason it's not getting 5 stars and the only downside is I am always unable to get someone on the phone when I need help! I've called several days in a row to try and get my kiddo scheduled for his follow up after his dental surgery and there is no answer! Otherwise we love it!

They refuse to schedule my kids appointments cause they said I missed when I called ahead of time to cancel due to my kids were sick. It's not my fault the person I spoke to was incompetent and didn't cancel the appointment. How can you have a missed appointment when they tell you that they will cancel your appointment if you don't confirm 24 hours in advance .Thank you to Estefania for trying to help me. How

I was really upset with the doctor who did my sons braces. I am on here to say thank you to Valrie she is a amazing soul. We need more people like her this world. She went above and beyond to help us. She took a lot of stress off of me with the whole situation I am greatful for her. I am happy with new office too.

Please don't take your kids here! I took my son there for 3 years mind you he's 3 and a half and he broke a molar and so I took him in and they said they could not repair it for 5 months and he could just deal with the pain so after taking him to 4 other dentists one actually took good care of him but found 16 cavities and needs 6 crowns. My sons new dentist said it's Unacceptable that if I took my son for his exams every 6 months here the dentist should have found these issues sooner and file a complaint against this office for neglect! Find somewhere else!!!!
