About Rowe Michael w DDS
Dr. Michael W. Rowe is noted for correcting underbites with a non-invasive European technique that skips braces and headgear altogether, at prices well below typical treatment costs.
Reviews often point to Dr. Rowe's non-invasive underbite correction method as an alternative to more aggressive treatments like braces or headgear, with several noting it cost hundreds rather than thousands of dollars elsewhere. The practice is also described as quick to respond to emergencies, fitting in same-day wire fixes and unscheduled visits without extra charge. Beyond the doctor's approach, reviews mention no-interest payment plans and a warm, close-knit staff, though one review described a rough enamel issue after Invisalign attachment removal.

Did a horrible job removing invisalign attachments, left too much of the bonding agent on some teeth and removed healthy enamel on other teeth. Very very negligent and careless technicians steer clear of this dentist
