About Embrace Orthodontics

Flexible financing, including sliding-scale pricing for low-income families, and multi-year treatment plans that reviewers say deliver visibly straighter teeth.

Reviews highlight payment plans without large down payments, accepted insurance, and sliding-scale pricing for families on a budget, alongside promotional discounts. Multi-year treatment timelines, often 2 to 4 years for braces, are described as producing dramatic improvements in bite and smile, with some patients noticing progress within months. Dr. Camille Neagu and Dr. Azani are noted for patience with complex cases and for explaining treatment plans in detail. Families with young children and those seeking early treatment also mention positive experiences with staff who work well with kids.

From the very beginning, my experience with this orthodontic office has been nothing short of amazing. Dr. Neagu and the entire team have truly changed my life by giving me a smile I can finally be proud of. Every visit has been filled with kindness, encouragement, and genuine care, and that has made all the difference throughout my orthodontic journey. Dr. Neagu is not only incredibly skilled but also compassionate and patient. She always took the time to make sure I understood my treatment and made me feel comfortable every step of the way. I always felt like I was in the best hands. I also want to give a special thank you especially Denise my wonderful dental assistant she is always so caring, gentle, and welcoming, making every appointment something I actually looked forward to. Her positive attitude and the way she truly care about her patients never go unnoticed. And I can’t forget Gabby at the front desk. She is always so warm, friendly, and helpful from the moment you walk in. She greets everyone with a smile, makes scheduling easy, and makes you feel like family. This office is more than just a place to straighten your teeth—it’s a place where people genuinely care about you. Thanks to Dr. Neagu, Denise, Ana, and Gabby, and Celine the entire staff it’s self I’ve gained not only a beautiful smile but also confidence that will last a lifetime. I will always be grateful for everything they’ve done for me, and I wholeheartedly recommend this office to anyone looking for exceptional orthodontic care. Kiana P
