My daughter had previously went to another orthodontist in the area and was told she would need some teeth removed and major surgery to fix her under bite and I wasnt comfortable with that plan of action. A friend recommended Dr Briggs and we got an appointment quickly for an assessment. He took a lot of scans and gave us a less invasive treatment plan which suited our needs. He is very gentle and kind and my daughter loves going in for her check ups. They have a little play area for her little brother so it is not a painful trip for us to wait. They have a really open room which makes it less scary for patients because they can see there are others getting painless checkups too. Great place with an amazing staff. read more

They are great! Before and during the pandemic. Professional, never felt rushed! The entire staff is super sweet!

Dr. Seth Briggs, Kristen, and everyone else who works at Austin Orthodontics have always been accommodating, friendly, informative, and supportive of our family needs. Both of my daughters have had excellent care and thanks to them much more confidence smiling now! read more

We started to see Dr. Briggs for an expander for our daughter. We have received the best service and feel confident we are with the best Orthodontist! Dr. Briggs is really wonderful with kids (and parents) and very knowledgeable. The nature of some of the procedures in not super fun, but my daughter still looks forward to going into the office! They make it as painless as possible. The staff is excellent. Dr. Briggs also supports our school and they do food drives and other charitable collections at the office throughout the year. We're not sure if braces are in our future, but if they are, we'll be here with both of our kids. read more

The staff is always friendly and professional, the office is kept clean, has beautiful trees out of every window and complimentary beverages. read more

Austin Orthodontics truly has a dream team! I feel cared for every single phone call and visit. The team goes above and beyond for me and my treatment progress. I HIGHLY recommend Austin Orthodontics! read more

This is my first review on Yelp and it's been long overdue. I had a severe underbite and was finally ready to take care of it. I went to other orthodontists in the area but no one listened to my requests and concerns as well as Dr. Briggs did. Every other place wanted me to get jaw surgery which is what I didn't want. Dr. Briggs gave me choices and options that didn't involve Jaw surgery. I had braces for over 3 years and the staff was always helpful and respectful. I am very happy with the results and grateful to Dr. Briggs and the staff at Austin Orthodontics read more

Dr. Briggs and the entire staff at Austin Ortho were amazing. They have taken every precaution and have implemented impressive sanitation/social distancing measures. Highly recommend. read more

Staff and Dr. Briggs are very professional and helpful. My son appreciates Dr. Briggs, his patience and he explains well to help him understand the issue and remedy things about his braces. read more

My 12-year-old son has a tooth which was growing in sideways, and his dentist insisted on an orthodontic consult before his next dental appointment to ensure orthodontia wasn't necessary, and referred us to Dr. Briggs. At the consultation my son was taken to get his imaging/x-rays, and the dental technician asked him if he wanted Invisalign or braces. When we met with Dr. Briggs, Dr. Briggs talked about braces as if they were inevitable and as if all children needed them, it was just a matter of when, and emphasized there were both aesthetic and functional reasons to get braces. I had to ask several clarifying questions before he would say outright that there was NEITHER aesthetic NOR functional reasons for my son to get braces. Until I asked those questions, it was heavily implied that my son would be getting the braces, and we weren't there to discuss IF, but when. Luckily this was a complimentary consultation. I will not be going here again. If you are already seeing Dr. Briggs, I recommend grilling him about the necessity of the orthidonture, because that information will not be readily provided. read more

I was blown away by the patient care and service we received at our initial visit. Every person, from the front office to the treatment coordinator, assistants and doctor were fantastic. Everyone was so friendly and patient and took the time to explain everything in detail to both my daughter and myself. Our anxiety dissipated, and we felt comfortable in moving forward with a treatment plan. I can't say enough about Austin Orthodontics! read more

What a great experience as a patient's mother. I never experienced any orthodontic work myself, so I had no idea what to expect. My son has been well taken care of through honest and professional care. The staff is fantastic and Dr. Briggs clearly has created a wonderful environment for everyone to work in. read more

We went to Dr. Briggs for pre and post jaw surgery orthodontics for my daughter. As a college student, she wanted to use invisiline rather than traditional braces. We found Dr. Briggs to be thorough, understanding, and empathetic with her situation. To complicate matters, she was in college out of state. Dr. Briggs and his staff tailored her treatment around her breaks so that she didn't have to make any special trips home. Immediately before and right after the surgery, Dr. Briggs was amazing. So many things could have gone wrong, instead, with Dr. Briggs skill, all went very smoothly. We are so grateful that the surgeon referred us to Dr. Briggs and we highly recommend him. read more

Everyone in the office have been exceptionally warm and empathetic to my son's fear of dental work/visits and it has made an amazing difference in his disposition when visiting. He actually looks forward to his appointment! Thank you very much for all your hard work and special attention, especially Casey, Sarah and Dr. Briggs! read more

For three years I would have given Dr. Nelson five stars - things were smooth-sailing, staff nice, Dr. Nelson very pleasant, and my daughter's teeth had been straightened within the first few months since she got braces young. If I were a typical reviewer, since I had a horrible experience, I'd give one star, but I'm going to assume this is rare - hope that it's rare. But one shocking day after several miscommunications WITHIN their office - due to the fact that there is a large staff - everything changed. My daughter had been seeing him for a while just for check-ups after braces. The retainer on the bottom had failed, and he said to get those teeth perfect he'd like to put braces back on the bottom at no charge. After we left the office, we thought about it and called in a few days later to ask about alternatives - the idea of braces again was not appealing, and we were told that they could put in a wire retainer to push the teeth close to straight but not perfect - this was with one of his staff, not him. We would need to schedule a fitting for a mold, so we went in and they did the mold, though the results of my call had not been written anywhere so we had to explain things again. We came in a week later for the retainer when there was another doctor we'd never seen before, and the staff could not find the retainer nor could they find the mold for it (and we had to explain things all over again), so they recast the mold. A week later we came in and not only did the staff not have the retainer but one of the receptionists said several times that, "Your appointment's not in the computer," not saying there must have been some error or something, but with the tone of my having lied about having an appointment. Well, it was 10am on a summer morning, not a time that I would choose to fake an appointment, and why would I come in and drag my daughter in for a retainer that wasn't there? At some point one of the staff said no problem, that he could make one in five minutes. Which made me wonder why we'd had to wait a week - twice - to no avail. Then we went in to see Dr. Nelson, who, with a smile, gave me the shocker. He said I had been rude to his staff and he would not tolerate that and would I like my daughter to be seen by him at all? This was so shocking that I actually started to tear up and sniffle - not a typical occurrence, believe me. I told him I had expressed frustation with his staff for good reason, - and later when I spoke to my daughter she said she had been surprised as well, since she didn't think I misbehaved in any way given what we'd experienced. Then I spent some confused moments kissing ass so that I wouldn't have to find another orthodontist and render the free follow-up appointments null and void. When we got home I realized that the retainer they'd made was ONLY to help keep the teeth in place- in this case crooked - of flimsy plastic much like teeth--whitening trays. So that's why it had only taken five minutes. It wasn't what we'd requested and been told would be a good alternative to redoing the braces and NOT what we'd come in for a total of three times by then. We have put up with the bottom teeth as we're not exactly thrilled to go back. Note: this is probably a fluke, but frankly, in the future, I would pick a smaller office where things don't fall through the cracks and they don't make me feel like a criminal. Note on the actual work: they requested teeth be removed from her dentist. Her jaw looks too small for her face so I believe they requested too many teeth be removed. But the top teeth look much much better than they did when she began with them. Of course we'd like the bottom teeth to look as good, but they don't look too bad and unless I truly feel like sucking up my pride, we won't be back. read more

Well, where do I begin? The awesome and friendly staff? The beautifully decorated and comfortable offices? The professional yet relaxed treatment and care? The resulting gorgeous smiles? There are 3 patients of Austin Orthodontics in our family, and we are all extremely satisfied with the wonderful experiences we had as patients there. I have referred several friends to the practice, and they are huge fans as well. We love our friends at Austin Orthodontics! read more

Rarely have to wait more than a few minutes in the lobby. Staff is friendly, courteous and knowledgeable. Dr. Nelson was able to straighten my teeth when others said they could not. It's been an easy process and very worth the time and effort. read more

Dr Briggs and his staff are amazing and the best in Austin. I saw 3-4 other orthos before finally picking one and going here and getting Invisalign was easily one of the best decisions i have ever made, restoring my smile and giving me confidence again in my smile and I owe it all to dr Briggs. from the initial consultation to the end of my treatment I have never feLt so comfortable in a doctor/patient environment before and every time I went for check up it was better than the time before. Out of the 15 or so times I went through out mY treatment I never waited more than 5 minutes for my appointment. I had a year in my Invisalign and it went by so fast I will recommend anyone I come across looking for an orthodontist to dr briggs because he really is that good; very knowledgeable, very friendly and of course his whole a staff is incredible. I also like the office set up very nice and welcoming. If you are thinking about it don't think any longer go with dr Briggs and you will thank me later. read more

Dr. Nelson has valuable years of experience and only works with the best! His staff are competent and friendly. I haven't worked with his new associate Dr. Briggs much yet, but so far he seems a good fit for the office--a good listener, knowledgeable, and kind. Although sometimes it can be hard to hear, I respect that Dr. Nelson tells the truth. (Some orthodontists will not tell you important things you need to hear). Also, Dr. Nelson's references he gives are only the most skilled! read more

Love everyone at Austin Orthodontics!! Excellent care and service!! You can tell they truly care about their patients. Our 10 year old will be getting her braces in two weeks and was a little nervous. Dr. Briggs and his staff were very good about easing her mind about the process. I cannot recommend this office enough to anyone needing orthodontic work! read more

Dr. Briggs and his staff are always professional and very personable. I have never been in any office where everyone is always kind and courteous.

Dr. Briggs and his entire staff are amazing. We look forward to our orthodontist visits because the entire team knows us, just like they know all of their other patients, and they treat everyone like family.

Wow, I'm so close to the end of treatment and couldn't be happier! This has honestly been one of the most transformative yet painless procedures I've ever experienced. If you've been waiting for the right time or just not sure if it's worth it to get braces, I can tell you that it's totally worth it and the sooner you get it done the better you'll feel. Invisalign at Austin Orthodontics is the best! read more

I really love Austin Orthodontics. First of all, the entire staff is friendly and knowledgeable, which is a rare treat with doctors these days. But even more importantly (well, as importantly, anyway) is that Dr. Briggs is fantastic. Here's a laundry list of reasons I like him: - He doesn't keep you waiting. I have never even gotten a good look at the waiting area, and you know that uncomfortably long period between when you are checked in, and when the doctor actually sees you? Nope. Not here. his staff member leaves the room, and within a minute or two, there he is! - He is just plain nice. He is friendly. He doesn't ever seem rushed or unconcerned, or any of those other nasty traits that doctors frequently have. - He really thinks about your long-term goals, and the best way of achieving them. He doesn't rush to put you in braces, or do any extensive work. He tells you the pros and cons of different treatment options, and really makes sure that you and he are on the same page with treatment. In fact, in the 3 times that my daughter has been to see him, he has never recommended any orthodontic work at all (even though it will definitely be needed in the future). - At today's visit, he was on the fence about what to recommend. Here's what he said "ok, so what would I do for my kids...." BRILLIANT! That is exactly the kind of thing I want to know! If you are on the fence about your current orthodontist, go see Dr. Briggs. He is fantastic in just about every way that an orthodontist can be. read more

Dr. Briggs and his staff have been nothing but stellar with me and my treatment. I'm a big baby and going through normal metal braces was pretty painful for me. However, Dr. Briggs and his assistants were always so patient & never made me feel bad for wincing at every adjustment. They always worked with my work schedule & always made me feel comfortable at my early morning appointments. I would highly recommend anyone who is looking to get braces to really consider Dr. Briggs' office! I'm so incredibly satisfied with my new smile & owe it completely to Dr. Briggs & his team. read more

This is my second child to go to this orthodontist. I couldn't ask for a better group of people to take care of my children's teeth. Very nice place very nice people I wouldn't take my kids anywhere else kids anywhere else! read more
