About Garlington Orthodontics: Mark Garlington, DDS
Invisalign cases that other orthodontists called impossible are a specialty here, guided by Dr. Garlington through multi-phase aligner treatment.
Invisalign and clear aligner treatment come up far more often than braces in these reviews, with several cases described as multi-phase and involving situations other orthodontists had turned away. Dr. Garlington is described as calming, thorough, and gentle, an approach that has kept some families returning across multiple children over the years. The office is noted for a clean, modern space with scanning technology, and appointments that run on time with little wait.
