About Colorado Orthodontics
Nervous and anxious patients get particular attention here, with technicians and doctors like Dr. David Mershon praised for calm, patient care during treatment.
Colorado Orthodontics sees a steady mix of families, often with several children moving through treatment at once, and reviews point especially to how the staff handles anxious or nervous patients. Braces are the most commonly mentioned treatment, alongside Invisalign and early treatment for younger patients, with several reviews noting that the team walks children through each step and keeps parents updated. Some reviews describe less satisfying outcomes, including lingering gaps or protrusion after treatment, and a handful mention cost or refund disputes.

Greetings, I am very disappointed because I paid a lot of money and I did not get the results I wanted. The doctor informed me that he would not be able to get my teeth the way I wanted, but it was after I committed to have them done. I started wearing the Invisalign's around April or May 2025. The doctor said that my teeth will not move any more, because I have implants, but he still suggested to me to wear them 12 hours a day and at night; until January and then I can wear the retainers only at night. If I had known that I needed to wear the retainers at night for the rest of my life, I would not have agreed to go through this process. So now I'm stuck paying a lot of money for these Invisalign's and I'm not happy with the results. I wish the doctor would have adjusted the price because I still have the gap in my front teeth. Also, since he knew he could not satisfy me with the results I wanted, I should not have been charged the full amount. Very unhappy, Juneau
