    Friendly staff. My son and I felt very comfortable here. We are supposed to be back in February to see if he is ready for braces.

    I went in for a consult on Jun 14, and was charged the full amount of $214. And that's ok, because…read morethey let me know that they've contacted Delta and Metlife (I have dual insurance), and both insurance companies indicated that they will not be covering the consult fee/x-ray. Soon after my visit, I received a statement from Metlife that they were covering $60, so I called Powers Ortho and they refunded it back to my credit card. And later on, I received a call from Powers Ortho that my other insurance was going to cover the remainder of $154, so I asked Powers Ortho if they could mail me a check on Sept. 20. I have not received the check, and I had to follow up with them again today. The reason I'm giving Powers Ortho a 1-star is because of the poor processing of this single transaction. I've been in contact with 6 different people from their office either by email, call or text since August 21, to resolve my refund/s., which has taken a bit of time during my work week. Powers Ortho was quick to charge my credit card, and yet has taken months to do a single refund. Here's a timeline of my entire experience with Powers Ortho: -- June 14: Consultation, I paid $214 -- Sometime in July: I received statement from Metlife that they will be covering $60 for my consultation/visit -- August 21: I called Powers Ortho to let them know I got the statement from Metlife. The person I spoke to said they'd look into it, and would call me back -- August 28: I called to follow-up, and the person I spoke to said they'd follow-up with their finance department -- August 31: I called again to follow-up, and they refunded my credit card $60 -- August 31, later in the day: I received a call from Powers Ortho, and said they may have refunded me by mistake because they did not have a record of my credit card payment on June 14. As proof, I took screen shots of my credit card statement, and texted it to their finance staff, who said they'd look into it -- September 7: I didn't hear from them, so I sent another text message to their finance staff to check in about my account. Since I didn't hear back, I assumed the account was settled on their end -- September 20: I received a call from Powers Ortho, and they let me know that Delta (my other insurance) would cover the remainder of $154. I asked if they could send me a check in the mail -- October 11: I called to follow up about the check, and the person I spoke to, sounded impatient and annoyed. They did not initially apologize for the inconvenience this has caused me since August, but eventually did after I expressed my frustration that this whole process has been so time- consuming and exhausting. I feel like this could've been much simpler and faster. So I'm not sure why it has taken this much time and effort. I have not even started my treatment plan, and strongly doubt that I will, given the experience I've had.

    One of the best experiences I've had at a dental office! Dr. Powers and her team are always so…read morewelcoming and happy to see every single client!Great service overall at a reasonable price! Highly recommend!

    Amazing high quality structural braces and they provide a long list of stuff you cannot eat with…read moreyour braces

    Summary: Dr. Cobain provided initial Invisalign treatment with multiple limitations (limitations…read morethat I later found out aren't inherent to Invisalign) and left my front teeth angled inwards. Another orthodontist later fixed the angle of my teeth and provided results I found far superior. Post-treatment, Dr. Cobain dismissed valid symptoms as stress and sensitivity, sent me back with ill-fitting retainers, and failed to identify a bite interference that another orthodontist caught. Dr. Cobain has strong online reviews and comes across as confident, which is partly why I trusted him for longer than I should have. I'm sharing my experience so that others can make an informed decision. What I mention below is documented in appointment records and emails (I've attached photos of some of these records as part of my review). The original treatment: During my initial consultation, Cobain Orthodontics gave me a form noting that my treatment would have multiple limitations including "angle" and "detailed alignment." The paperwork stated that Dr. Cobain doesn't recommend Invisalign over braces, that "if you choose to move forward with Invisalign the result will not be ideal," and that patients may require braces at additional cost to get a better result. Based on this, I believed that Invisalign would have limitations regardless of which orthodontist provided the treatment. Despite the limitations, Dr. Cobain still charged what I considered a significant amount. I was very disappointed by the result: my teeth remained uneven and looked tilted even after treatment. I later got revision treatment and had multiple consultations before choosing a provider; every single other orthodontist I spoke with told me Invisalign can fix tooth angle -- something Dr. Cobain had listed as a limitation. My new orthodontist reviewed my records & photos from Dr. Cobain and identified multiple flaws. After revised treatment, I found my smile and teeth to be much more even and streamlined (comparison photo included). Orthodontic treatment is expensive and affects bite comfort, smile, and even facial symmetry. The provider's skill makes a huge difference; since consultations are generally free, I'd encourage others to meet multiple providers before choosing one. In my case, the detailed alignment I wanted was possible with Invisalign once I switched to a different doctor. Post-treatment: After not wearing my retainers for a while, I felt pain when putting them on again. I went to Dr. Cobain a couple of times, and he attributed my concerns to stress and clenching and told me to continue with the same retainers. I trusted a doctor's judgment and kept wearing the retainers despite the pain. I reached a point when the pain worsened and I could no longer bite down normally. I realized the problem was not stress but the retainers. I returned to Cobain Orthodontics urgently seeking care. I told Dr. Cobain that my teeth had shifted and showed him how my retainers wouldn't fully seat. He told me to bite down on the retainers. I told him that this caused intense pain. He said the problem was my "sensitivity." I told him I was having severe bite issues that left me unable to sleep. He attributed this to stress. I asked, repeatedly, if I could pay for orthodontic treatment. He refused, saying there was no indication further treatment was needed. I asked if we could at least take orthodontic photographs to clarify where my teeth were shifting. He declined that too. I got a second opinion from a different orthodontist, who quickly identified that the retainers weren't safe to wear. The pain that I'd been experiencing? It was because the ill-fitting retainers had been putting intense, misplaced pressure on my teeth, especially my left canine; this canine angled inward so severely that it made premature contact with the lower tooth in a way that it prevented the rest of my bite from closing; at its most severe it left me unable to sleep for multiple nights because each time I relaxed my jaw, the tooth hit in a way that jolted me awake with pain. The other orthodontist identified this as an occlusal interference -- different from a regular hard-hitting tooth; it wasn't due to normal tooth shifting but instead due to forced movement from the ill-fitting retainers, and I needed further treatment to correct it. I got new retainers from another provider and transferred my case. When I sent orthodontic photographs documenting what had happened to my teeth, Cobain Orthodontics switched from claiming that I had problems tolerating retainers to stating in an email that they had "no record of any reported issues or pain post treatment for 18 months while wearing retainers" -- a statement that contradicts their notes and email correspondence. I really wish I had chosen a different provider from the start.
