About Orthodontics Only
A spa-like, eco-friendly office with modern technology anchors care led by Dr. Derek Sanders, Dr. Pietri, and Dr. Cabrera for braces and aligner treatment.
Reviews here repeatedly highlight the physical space itself, describing a modern, eco-friendly building that some compare to a spa and note as spotless across visits. Beyond the setting, patients describe detailed treatment planning under Dr. Derek Sanders, Dr. Pietri, and Dr. Cabrera, including one case where an alternative approach helped a patient avoid recommended jaw surgery for impacted canines. Results are frequently described as dramatic, with corrected underbites and multi-year braces cases resolving in straight, well-aligned smiles. Staff and assistants are often praised by name, and several reviews mention children being put at ease with comfort items or a pace suited to toddlers.

From the very first consultation to the day my son got his braces, our experience has been nothing short of amazing. The entire office is welcoming, and every receptionist is so kind, friendly, and helpful. Dr. G and Myra were absolutely wonderful. What impressed me the most was how they spoke directly to my son, making him feel comfortable while explaining every step of the process in a way he could understand. Their patience, professionalism, and genuine care made the whole experience stress-free for both of us. If you’re looking for an orthodontic office that truly cares about its patients and provides exceptional service, this is the place to come. I highly recommend them!
Today was our first visit to Orthodontics Only, but it most definitely won’t be our last. We had such an amazing experience. The dentist and the orthodontist were both amazing. They took their time to explain every step of the process and made us feel so safe and comfortable. I will be recommending them to anyone and everyone who will listen. We can’t wait to be back.
After almost two years of orthodontic treatment, I can confidently say that choosing this office was one of the best decisions I made. From the moment you walk in, you can tell this practice is committed to excellence. The office is beautiful, spotless, environmentally friendly ("green"), and equipped with the latest state-of-the-art technology. Every visit was efficient, organized, and focused on providing the best possible patient experience. What truly sets this practice apart, however, is the incredible staff. Everyone is welcoming, professional, and genuinely cares about their patients. I especially want to recognize Alexa, who became my requested orthodontic technician throughout my treatment. I specifically asked to schedule my appointments with her because she consistently went above and beyond. I had an issue with my braces occasionally coming loose from the brackets, and unlike anyone else, Alexa took the extra time to carefully evaluate the problem, make the necessary adjustments, and ensure everything was secure before I left the office. Her attention to detail, patience, and commitment to doing the job right made an enormous difference in my treatment. Alexa never made me feel rushed. She listened to my concerns, explained what she was doing, and always made sure I was comfortable. That level of dedication is rare and deserves to be recognized. Thank you to the entire team for making what could have been a long and difficult process such a positive experience. I absolutely love my results and am grateful for the exceptional care I received every step of the way. I highly recommend this office to anyone looking for outstanding orthodontic care.
Their exceptional customer service, attention to detail, and genuine concern for their patients make them stand out. What truly sets this practice apart is that they prioritize the overall health and well being of their patients. We feel confident knowing our children are in such caring and capable hands.
We cannot say enough wonderful things about this orthodontic office. From the moment you walk in, the entire team is welcoming, professional, and genuinely caring. The staff always takes the time to make our children feel comfortable and at ease. The doctors are knowledgeable, honest, and take the time to explain every step of the process. We highly recommend this office to any family looking for an orthodontist.
