My first child went to a different ortho office, and I wasn't totally happy. I decided to try Dexter Orthodontics for my younger one, even though it's a little bit of a drive. Now I wish I had gone to Dexter Ortho from the start. It's more than worth the drive. The staff is so kind and compassionate, and the doctors go above and beyond and genuinely care about their patients. You don't feel like just another number here. My child was nervous about getting his braces on, and the technician was so patient and careful with him. Afterward, my son said he "couldn't have asked for a better person" to do his braces. When I called with an insurance question, the staff member on the phone was so helpful and made sure I understood everything. And the doctors are top-notch, knowledgeable, professional, and compassionate. They really care about their patients here, and it shows!

After two and a half years with Dexter Orthodontics, I can honestly say it's been amazing. My braces journey was smooth from day one. The staff is incredibly kind and welcoming, they make you feel like family. Every visit, I felt cared for and listened to. My smile is now something I'm genuinely proud of, thanks to them. If you're thinking of orthodontics, I can't recommend them enough, 5 stars all the way!

Our family has had a great experience with this orthodontic office. I completed Invisalign treatment here as an adult, and my daughter is a current patient. The entire team is friendly, welcoming, and easy to work with. Scheduling appointments is simple, and everyone takes the time to answer questions and make you feel comfortable. The office truly feels like family. Most importantly, the results have been fantastic. My daughter smile looks incredible, and we've been so happy with the care and attention she's received throughout the process. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for an orthodontist for themselves or their children. We couldn't be happier with our experience.
