In just two short weeks of searching for the perfect orthodontic office, I've come to realize just…read morehow lucrative the braces business can be. I'd even go so far as to say I wish I'd chosen dental care as a career path. Before I found Pellegrini Orthodontics, I encountered two other businesses that felt less like professional dental practices and more like back-alley setups - no receptionist, no dental assistant, but they had no qualms about charging $3400 for care. My very first encounter involved a practice that asked for payments via Zelle and Cash App, telling me a 3% charge would apply if I used my debit card. Incredibly, they had a treatment estimate ready for me before they'd even seen my teeth because, according to them, "everything was the same cost." However, once in the office, the orthodontist declared that the down payment was $1200 because he recommends light force braces and he had to send something to a factory. I endured such nightmares more than once during my search for a good orthodontic office. I decided that if my experience with Dr. Pellegrini's office wasn't radically different, I would just give up. I asked for a sign I was in the right place - and was immediately impressed. The moment I stepped into the office, I was treated with kindness and care. They even offered assistance with my young son. From Ruta, the empathetic front desk scheduling clerk who adjusted the air conditioning without being asked, to Amanda, who handed me a laptop to complete paperwork with a genuine smile and even greeted my child. My scheduled appointment time arrived, and Kayla came to take me to the back. I told them my husband and I had appeared on TV during a baseball game on Tuesday, and they eagerly insisted on watching the quick snippet with me. The office atmosphere was warm and inviting - it felt like I was hanging out with family. Once inside the treatment room, Kayla assured me that she would address any of my concerns and took the time to understand what I wanted to fix. Tehanna entered the room and started taking pictures of my teeth. As any mother will tell you, keeping a two-year-old distracted can be a Herculean task, but Kayla was a natural, playing with my son and keeping him entertained while I had my pictures and X-rays taken. When I returned to the treatment room, Kayla discussed what she had observed from the images, listened to my concerns, and gave me a range of treatment options. Dr. Pellegrini then came in, examined all the pictures and X-rays with me, and carried out a physical exam. It was clear that they take their time to create a personalized treatment plan. It didn't feel rushed or impersonal. I was given ample time with the doctor and treatment coordinator to work out a plan for my teeth. Listing all the positives of my experience at Pellegrini Orthodontics would have me here all day. But I will tell you this - Dr. Pellegrini is hands-down the best choice for any orthodontic care. His team takes the time to get to know you, they are kind and considerate, and their passion for their work is palpable. My experience with this office was not just comforting, but also affirming - I was willing to pay any price to work with them. Despite their reasonable pricing, they could have asked for more, and I would have found a way to make it work. In conclusion, I am beyond impressed with the services I received. Had Pellegrini Orthodontics been the first office I visited, I would have remained blissfully ignorant of the darker side of the orthodontic industry. A heartfelt thanks to Dr. Pellegrini and the care team - I cannot wait to start my treatment at your office!

I had the best experience with Pellegrini Orthodontics. My teeth was in bad shape, lots of…read morecrowding and overlapping areas. Pellegrini was able to come up with a plan using Invisalign, which I wasn't expecting for how crooked my teeth were. The attention to detail, clarity of instructions, friendliness of all staff, and ultimate care for me was more than I could ask for. Dr. Pellegrini does not settle for anything less than perfect, but it was also a partnership to achieve the final result. It took some time and a few adjustments but my teeth look great, feel great, the bite is wonderful, and I can't imagine what it was like before. Come here with confidence, they're amazing!

I will preface that I hadn't been to other orthodontic spots in the past and have nothing to…read morecompare to. However, I would come back to Edmonds Orthodontics if I needed anything in the future, so that's a good sign! If you mention my name or review maybe I'll get some brownie points. Growing up teeth alignment wasn't a top priority with respect to the cost, but just had my Invisalign treatment completed. While I no longer had the financial constraints when I had my consultation, I appreciated their flexibility with payment plans early on. Location wise, the office is easy to access and has ample parking. The team is wonderful, everyone is so welcoming, empathetic, and friendly. Every appointment starts within 5 minutes of schedule, yes sometimes early! While there's water, coffee, and tea available for families waiting, they also offer ice cream bars as a treat after every appointment. I really don't have much criticism but they send a reminder 2 business days before appointments to accommodate a 24hr cancellation notice. Some days I'm on top of my texts and other days I'm swamped with work, so an extra reminder could be nice. Another cool thing the team could do would be to supply some retainer cleaners that they recommend so patients could try it out before committing to a larger supply. Invisalign does send a couple packets but there are other options recommended by the team and having that support to clean the first few trays (of Invisalign) would've been a nice to have.

I can't say enough great things about Edmonds Orthodontics. From the moment you walk in, the entire…read moreteam is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely supportive. Their customer service goes above and beyond, and you can tell they truly care about their patients. My son is currently using Invisalign, and like many kids, he's had a tough time remembering to keep them in consistently. Instead of making him feel discouraged, the team has been so patient and encouraging, finding ways to motivate and support him every step of the way. Even though he's not finished with his treatment yet, the results are already amazing--his teeth look so good, and it's been such a confidence boost for him. Honestly, seeing his progress makes me want to get Invisalign myself. If you're considering orthodontic care, this is the place to go. Highly recommend!

Dr. Jue and his staff are amazing! We had an wonderful field trip to their office when my daughter…read morewas in 1st grade. I always knew that we would go to his office once she needed braces. Well the time came and we were very happy to start treatment with them. Everyone in the office treats you like family. They are so nice, that we look forward to going too! They are great with scheduling and take after hours emergencies seriously. Honestly we feel like we get special treatment from them every time. We appreciate them working with our schedule as we moved out of town before we finished treatment. It sometimes feels like we are moving mountains to physically get to their office, but when we do get there we are always greeted with warm smiles and lots of great conversation. Thank you Dr. Jue for all that you do for your staff and patients - we love you!

Our daughter needed correction for an in-bite and first we were sent by our insurance to an…read moreorthodontist who did all kinds of tests and determined that she needed to wear a 'bird-cage' exterior device to pull on her upper jaw which the doctor said wasn't growing well. That looked to us like a terrible proposition to make an eight year old undergo for years, so we paid out-of-pocket to go get a second opinion. My dentist, whom I trust, recommended Dr. Vierra. This doctor stated up front that he uses a conservative approach meaning he will try the least obtrusive, expensive methods of correction first and go on to the more expensive and troublesome methods if these are needed. Our daughter responded well to a simple retainer he fitted and is well on the way to correcting her in-bite. Compared to the 'heroic' trouble we would have had to endure with the first orthodontist, the solution Dr. Vierra tried turned out wonderful. Our girl loves her retainer and says she can't eat without it now.

Everyone there is pretty nice, very respectful and professional. They've fit me in when I have a…read moretight schedule, so they've always been pretty accommodating. I started Invisalign about a year ago. My dad did Invisalign here so he recommended me. I do really like their work, it's definitely quality. I can't say if it's expensive because I don't know what other practices charge, but it felt reasonable to me. They also have good recs if you choose to further your smile with veneers or composite etc. Would definitely recommend!

We have had several issues with follow-up and communication at this office. My son was supposed to…read morereceive a new retainer at his April 2025 appointment, but it was never given to us. He has been using the same retainer for over a year and a half, and it is now cracked despite proper care. When I called about replacing it, I was told we had already received one (we hadn't) and that we would need to pay $300. Only after I went in person and asked to speak with the technician did they confirm the truth -- the order never went through last year due to a misunderstanding. Even then, instead of apologizing, the front desk told me they would give us a replacement "for free this time," even though it was clearly their mistake. We've also had previous visits where they forgot to give us last couple of Invisaligns and insisted they had. I'm sharing this so other parents know to double-check everything during their visits. The quality of care is fine, but the office communication and follow-through need major improvement.

I was initially concerned about how my special needs brother would react during the visit, but…read moreJessica, one of the dental hygienists, was incredibly polite, patient, and made the entire process as comfortable as possible. My brother appeared at ease throughout the appointment, which meant a lot to me. The office was clean, organized, and we experienced no wait time, which made the visit even smoother. Overall, it was a very positive experience, and I will definitely continue to use their services. The only complaint I have is insurance was provided weeks before the appointment, and we were told the out of pocket cost would be and after the appointment we were given a different amount. This is my only complaint about this experience and the only reason we will be going somewhere else.

I came to Lowe Orthodontics when I was growing up for braces and other teeth alignment hardware…read morelike my upper retainer (to wear at night) and permanent lower retainer. The office did a good job of accommodating early morning and afternoon appointments, which was nice to prevent/mediate missing school for the appointments. The office was warm and comfortable with friendly workers. We (my sister also got her braces done here) were required to check in for our appointments on a computer located at the front desk upon arrival. Seats in the waiting area and the waiting space in general provided a welcoming space to wait. There were rooms off to the side where we started out on our orthodontics journey including being informed I had a bit of an overbite. Chairs for teeth work and check-ups were in an open space, which made it easy for the workers to transition from one person to another. Braces did a good job on aligning my teeth and addressing the overbite. Retainers I got from here have been durable and effective. Over a decade later (today is Saturday 9 September 2023), my bottom retainer is still doing well. One of the perks of getting my upper retainer from here was that we were allowed to bring in a small image if we wanted something on the plate of the retainer that presses against the top of the mouth when wearing it. I brought in a visual of an okapi and that was worked into the bottom of the retainer. Later on, when living in a shared space for college, this custom addition helped prevent other girls from accidentally taking my retainer as they came to identify the one with the okapi as mine.

I started with Dr. Simon's for the first two years and then was transferred to Lowe. With Simon's…read moremy teeth and bite were fine. Once I was under Lowes care my bite went off and remained off for a year. He could never get it back. Finally I was told "your teeth will settle" and to get braces off. He is the only Dr now. I developed angular chelitis because my bite was off and saliva was coming out of the corners of my mouth. I also developed TMJ. After thousands in TMJ treatment and most of my teeth sheering off due to misalignment and a resorption (losing a molar) due to the trauma, my teeth are completely destroyed. I was recently told I am headed for a complete reconstruction. My teeth were very straight when I started treatment. My dentist said ortho would help my bite. I would never step foot in this office. I was stone walled and my calls were refused. I am left to dig myself out of this, if it's even possible. It will eventually cost tens of thousands of dollars. I also developed a dry mouth during treatment. The TMJ Dr sent me for a lip biopsy with a Dr who had never done one. My lip nerve was cut and I now also have constant burning. What a nightmare! I suffer constantly from this. I was offered my money back if I signed a release! He knew he damaged me. Run from this place!
