My son got his braces today, he was anxious but they were so great and explained step by step. Now he just needs to get use to the feeling of them. He left smiling!

Currently have two kids going through the motions for braces. I’m super thankful that we have been keeping an eye on things for years before they need braces. We have had to get teeth removed to decrease crowding- which would have made things so much worse as a teen! Highly recommend!

Choosing this orthodontic office was one of the best decisions I've made. From my very first appointment, I felt welcomed like family. Every member of the team is genuinely kind, compassionate, and always takes the time to make sure you feel comfortable and cared for. What stands out the most is how much they truly care. They celebrate your progress at the end “A great jingle “smile,smile, smile they’re off” ,answer every question with patience, and always greet you with a smile. It's clear that they love what they do, and that positive energy is felt every time you walk through the door.

Nothing but positive things to say about the team at Northern Smiles! I came for Invisalign 10 years ago and now my son is a patient. A lot of their staff are the same as when I came for treatment, which speaks volumes to how their business is run. Scheduling/ billing is easy, they are timely with appointments, and I cannot give enough praise about how kind they are and how well they work with kids. My son had dental trauma from a previous office and they explain everything to him so thoroughly and are so friendly he actually looks forward to his appointments now.
