About Butterfly Orthodontics
Underbites and bites other orthodontists called impossible get resolved here, often without jaw surgery, under Dr. Chad Foster.
Reviews at Butterfly Orthodontics point most often to outcomes: parents and adult patients describe corrected underbites, gaps, and bites that were resolved without jaw surgery, in some cases after other consults recommended extraction or surgery. Dr. Chad Foster is frequently credited with a conservative approach, avoiding extractions and giving honest opinions when braces weren't needed. A handful of reviews mention treatment stretching longer than planned, though many others note timelines met or beaten.

I just finished 16 months of orthodontic treatment, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. My teeth look beautiful! The entire staff has been friendly, professional, and wonderful to work with throughout the process. I’m so glad I trusted them with my smile and would absolutely recommend them to anyone considering orthodontic treatment.

I had a great experience with Butterfly Orthodontics! Although they didn’t originally put my braces on, they were the office that removed them, and the process was smooth and professional from start to finish. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and made sure I was comfortable throughout the appointment. I really appreciated the care and attention to detail they provided. I’m happy with my results and would definitely recommend Butterfly Orthodontics to anyone looking for a professional and caring orthodontic office!
