It's a bit hard to judge the 'value' of an orthodontist, afterall, they're all pretty pricey and you end up needing to sell a car or a limb to pay for it. However, having had braces for a while now, I can say that these guys know what they are doing. For the most part, the assistants are very professional and experienced and the orthodontists are friendly.

Sometimes you feel a bit rushed through and you don't get the chance to ask all the questions you have, which is a bit of a pain. It's also tricky to get an appointment after 4pm due to the school traffic that goes in and out the door.

All in all, while they've been good to deal with, I sure want these things off my teeth. They've made a huge difference to my mouth though, I can see massive improvements and could within days of my first fitting.

Approximate cost: $5000+

My son has been having orthodontic treatment with Theresia she is so amazing, gentle and positive. The staff are friendly and welcoming and we had to go 4 times in a week recently after my son had an accident, fitting us at no problem.
