About Creative Orthodontic Associates
Corrected overbites and gaps reported to hold up years later, with families often bringing multiple children to Dr. Guia over time.
Reviews at Creative Orthodontic Associates most often highlight lasting results, including severe overbites and gaps that reviewers say held up years after treatment finished. Dr. Guia is frequently credited with explaining treatment plans and costs clearly, including with anxious teens and young children starting expander or head gear work. Families with several children in treatment mention sibling discounts and a warm front-desk staff, while a smaller number of reviews describe Invisalign completed on schedule for adult patients.
