About aligned. Orthodontics

Dr. Amanda Vanderstelt tackles complex bite and airway cases, often offering second opinions that avoid unnecessary jaw surgery, with heavy emphasis on early treatment and expanders.

Reviews here often go beyond straightening teeth, describing how Dr. Amanda Vanderstelt factors in airway and bite function when planning treatment, sometimes steering patients away from surgery or extractions recommended elsewhere. Early phase-one treatment, expanders, and jaw surgery come up far more often than at a typical orthodontic office, alongside a steady stream of Invisalign cases. Several reviews mention special accommodations for anxious or sensory-sensitive children, from weighted blankets to an office dog, and note that treatment sometimes finished ahead of the original timeline.

What patients praise

  • Dr. Amanda Vanderstelt is described as evaluating airway and bite function alongside cosmetics, and providing second opinions that have helped patients avoid unnecessary surgery or extractions.
  • The office is set up to accommodate anxious and sensory-sensitive children, with weighted blankets, an office dog, and staff experienced with young or fidgety patients.

Dr. V was great! I had previously made the mistake of doing Invisalign through my general dentist and 8 years later my bite was so off that none of my back teeth touched. Dr. V was thorough and efficient in getting my bite corrected. The rest of the team was also a pleasure to work with. They made scheduling and developing a payment system very easy. They were always quick to respond to any questions I had during the process. I highly recommend Dr. V and her team.

Such a great experience overall. I had an extensive case with jaw surgery included in my orthodontist experience. I never knew my airways and breathing issues were impacting my dental health. So grateful for the team at aligned. Dr. V is amazing and very dedicated to the craft. Seriously life changing experience. Get the consultation!

I’m over the moon happy with my results. For years, I toggled whether I wanted/needed straighter teeth, but eventually I took the plunge and I’m so glad I did. First, I love the office aesthetic; it’s calm, modern, and subtly pink and cream chill vibes with lots of plantlings. Second, the staff feel like long-time friends, they are welcoming, knowledgeable and super accommodating. Third, I’m so happy with the results, personally I thought I’d be wearing my retainers for a year or more, but I abided the rules of retainer wearing and I was complete with my treatment in 8 months and I’m completely astounded by how much more amazing my teeth and smile appear now vs., before when I had braces once before in life - it topped that. Thanks so much and I highly recommend <3 I’d make this decision again in a blink without a doubt!

Incredible experience with aligned for my 9 year old little girl. First off the space is gorgeous, very calming with a dog named Benny to greet you which puts kids right at ease. The team is incredibly professional and knowledgeable, led by Dr V who is not just there to give you a great smile but take it even a step further thinking holistically. I decided to fix my teeth at 42 years old with this team just because of the experience I had here for my daughter.

Dr. V is great and we are so happy with our son's results. The real star of the show was Faye one of the dental assistants! My son has a very hard time due to past facial trauma and Faye was so calm, patient and reassuring. She explained everything step by step. The whole team is so kind, but Faye truly is the best!
