We had such a wonderful experience at Wait Orthodontic Specialists! From the moment we walked in, the staff was friendly, welcoming, and professional. They made my daughter feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process. Dr. Wait is truly exceptional. He took the time to clearly answer all of our questions and explained everything in a straightforward and easy-to-understand way. We especially appreciated how transparent he was about the treatment process and the time frame for my daughter’s braces. It gave us so much confidence moving forward. I would highly recommend Wait Orthodontic Specialists to anyone looking for quality care and a supportive, knowledgeable team. We are so grateful for the positive experience!

This is hands down the best orthodontist we have been to! The staff is amazing, patient, and makes you feel like family. Samantha, the dental assistant, goes above and beyond. Dr. Wait is excellent with kids. I highly recommend this office for your orthodontic needs.

The staff has been nothing but professional and patient throughout the entire process - even when we needed to reschedule last minute due to an extra curricular after school activity. Appointments are always quick and on time. What sealed the deal for me was how well the initial consult went. They didn't try to upsell or oversell what was needed for my daughter. I felt comfortable with our decision and the staff.

Though I had braces as a teen, my teeth began shifting and twisting when I got to middle age. I had become ashamed of my smile. Dr. Wait and his staff have given me a reason to smile again. Thank you Dr. Wait
