About Ortega Orthodontics
Dr. William Vaughn Holland is repeatedly noted for recommending against treatment when it isn't needed, and for taking on complex cases transferred from other orthodontists.
Reviews at Ortega Orthodontics frequently mention transfers from other providers being welcomed mid-treatment and a willingness to steer patients toward simpler fixes, like a night guard instead of braces, when that's genuinely the better option. Families also describe Dr. Holland walking through x-rays on a monitor and explaining expected weekly tooth movement, which parents say helps both them and their kids follow along. Anxious patients and young children getting early evaluations come up often, with notes about nervous kids and adults being put at ease before treatment begins. Several reviews describe finished cases, including jaw surgery paired with braces and long treatment journeys that ended ahead of schedule.

Cannot say enough good things about Dr.Holland and the entire staff! Everyone is friendly,professional and knowledgeable,the office is clean and always smells so good,appointments were always on time and each process was explained and done gently. I was a little hesitant at 58 years old to get braces but so glad I did and even more grateful for the wonderful experience that,Ortega Orthodontic made possible! It’s never too late for a great smile!

All 3 of my kids have been going here for their vastly different orthodontic needs and we are always 100% taken care of and happy with the care. The office is always clean, the staff is friendly and welcoming, and Dr. Holland is patient and explanatory when explaining processes.

Dr Holland is truly the most caring and thoughtful person I've ever come across in a client/doctor relationship. His staff is second to none. I can't say enough on that front. He has mastered the front office experience. I have never have had a wait and my time is respected. That's huge in my opinion. I'm so glad I chose Ortega orthodontics. I can't wait to see the end result.
