She had braces and also has an invisalign retainer. She was out of braces in about 2 years. The assistants are really wonderful.

I would recommend these guys everywhere.

The dentist was extremely rough--my jaw hurt for months afterward, and I had daily migraines from the pain. Their scheduling system is also frustrating. They refuse to adjust their reminder calls, which come at 7 a.m. on weekends and even before the office opens. If you don't confirm--because no one is there to answer--they cancel your appointment. One of the teeth they filled had never bothered me before, and now it hurts every time I bite down. The front desk staff is consistently rude and will ignore you while you wait to check in. I strongly recommend going elsewhere.
