About Advanced Orthodontics
Pricing and financing here are frequently described as lower than other local orthodontists, alongside a practice known for putting anxious and special-needs kids at ease.
Dr. Nielsen is described as taking time to explain treatment plans and handling complex bite and structural issues before moving to cosmetic work. Reviews often point to pricing and financing here as more affordable than other area orthodontists, with flexible payment plans and, in one case, an appliance removed at no charge rather than upsold. The office is noted for working well with anxious children and kids with special needs, including a therapy dog that helps calm nervous young patients during appointments.

Really nice People, the workers here are kind and helpfulmy kid really liked it .
I’ve gone to other offices and switched because of how kind and yet professional all of the staff is. Evelyn was always so sweet to me and answered all my questions and concerns. Also, you get a goodie bag with lots of candy once you’re done with your treatment :) Definitely recommend and they offer flexible payment plans.
Very professional and nice and worked so well with me and explained everything for my invisalign.
Advanced Orthodontics was a wonderful experience for all three of my kids. Dr. Nielsen and the entire team were professional, kind, and great at making each appointment comfortable and straightforward. They explained what was happening, kept everything organized, and helped each child feel confident throughout treatment. We also really appreciated the value—our kids received great results without having to spend nearly as much as other orthodontic providers we compared. The results have been fantastic, and we’d happily recommend Advanced Orthodontics to other families.
Wow - this was the most pleasant experience I've ever had in a dental office - and I wasn't even the patient! My kid needed braces, and from explaining the price and financing options to the care they provided, we received top-tier service. And I could tell that EVERY patient was receiving the same, attentive care. Thank you to the entire staff for making this experience smooth for my kid and me. Much love!
