About Stieg & Wachtel Orthodontics
Dr. John Wachtel is repeatedly credited with recommending against unnecessary treatment and staying involved with patients years after braces come off.
Reviews at Stieg & Wachtel Orthodontics point to Dr. John Wachtel's honesty and long-term follow-up, including one case where he corrected an unrelated problem well after treatment ended. Results come up often, from a front-tooth gap fixed in a single visit to a combined jaw surgery and braces case patients called satisfying. Both adults and young children appear as patients here, and treatment includes braces, clear aligners, and surgical orthodontics for more complex bites.

Dr. Stieg and the entire team at the old town location are so kind, friendly, and professional. I had a bad experience with another local orthodontist in the past and was wary about starting again, but Dr. Stieg was so patient and kind. He recommended a few options, and I went with Invisalign. He was upfront and honest about how the experience would be, which I really appreciate. He has a lot of experience in orthodontics, but I really appreciate how he has worked to stay up to date on all the latest technology, it really feels like a luxury experience. I’ve recommended him to many friends, and would say to anyone considering, just make a free consultation appointment to meet him and see for yourself.

If you’re searching for an orthodontist, this is your sign to end that search. Dr Stieg is the man. I had a small gap re-open between my front teeth and he was able to perfectly correct it in one visit. Not only that but he and his staff are top notch people! 100% recommend.
