About Montclair Orthodontics: Chad Watts, DMD
Dr. Watts is known for quick fixes when things go wrong away from the office—mailing elastics, repairing a popped retainer within days, or correcting a bite that stalled elsewhere for years.
Montclair Orthodontics handles a notable share of young children and families with multiple kids in treatment, including complex cases like missing teeth. Reviews point to responsiveness that goes beyond typical office hours, with emergency elastics sent while traveling and retainers repaired quickly for patients out of town. Cost comes up often too, with mentions of affordable emergency fixes and no hidden charges even when a patient fell behind on payments. Dr. Watts, who took over the practice, is credited with untangling a bite issue that had stalled under a previous provider's aligners for two years.

Doc Childers the coolest cat on the block, was just telling one of his super staff members…that I wished I could have had him 40 yrs ago! Outstanding dentist and better man, respectful kind and super professional…Best ever in my 70yrs young living!

They very kindly gave me elastics when I unexpectedly ran out and my orthodontist was closed. Lovely service both over the phone and in person.

My permanent retainer popped out while I was in CA for the summer and away from my orthodontist. Tried calling many orthodontists in the Bay Area and they either refused to work on me, were rude, or were going to charge me an egregious amount for a simple fix. Found Montclair and they were able to get me in within a few days, charged me an affordable amount, and were polite.
