Staff and assistants, such as Julissa, are very kind and know what they're doing. I'm not a huge fan of the orthodontist, Dr. Haidar, that did my braces. He warned me to do invisalign instead of braces because I have a lot of crowns, but they forced me to get a bunch of work done (including a few crowns) before I got braces. It's almost like they were trying to make me pay more down the line on purpose. Then after I got the braces, a bracket would pop off every 2 weeks for 1.5 months. When I came in to get it fixed, he would make rude and unnecessary csomments when I was in the chair and couldn't talk back to him due to my mouth being propped open. After 2 months, the brackets stopped popping off... coincidence? **I would advise others to see someone else to get their braces done if you want someone nicer and more attentive instead of someone that'll tell you to "just get your teeth pulled to make room," or make rude comments. *Other than that, the other doctors are very knowledgeable! One even detected I needed surgery for TMJ, and I'm getting that fixed soon. They're very helpful and insightful.

We see Dr Haidar for orthodontics, he is great. All 3 of my boys have gotten their braces here and I have been happy with the entire process. Marella is always friendly and helpful at the front desk, and patient as we try to get multiple appointments to work around busy schedules. I would recommend this practice for all your orthodontic needs.

excellent customer service and overall care . Marella at the front desk was very helpful with reviewing and explaining insurance and out of pocket cost. Hygienist and Othor have also been very detailed oriented and friendly!!

What is the Mouth-Body Connection® ?


The Mouth-Body Connection® refers to the link between oral health and overall health, and the role that the harmful bacteria and inflammation in our mouths play in chronic, systemic disease. That’s why it’s time we talked about more than your teeth. Our office prioritizes your overall health as it relates to your oral health. When we care for your smile we’re also looking out for your entire self.
