Dr Brady is the BEST orthodontist I have ever met. Atlanta Orthodontic Specialists is LUCKY to have him. My orthodontist in Seattle messed up my teeth and planning for my surgery so I did not have the best experience with orthodontists but Dr Brady has been nothing short of excellent with his planning, his eye for perfection and also his thoroughness when dealing with tough cases. I wish he had been my orthodontist years ago- I hope that AOS treats him well and acknowledges everything he does for patients.
Dr. Brady and the entire office are great to work with. We had some special requests based on some airway concerns, and he accommodated them throughout the process. Very happy with the results. Would highly recommend.
4 of our family members have had a fantastic experience with Dr Brady at AOS. Friendly and helpful staff included. Thank you for beautiful smiles!
Deja consistently provides exceptional service. She is highly personable, efficient, and prompt. I feel at ease in her presence and am confident in her expertise. The entire team performs admirably. I wholeheartedly endorse Atlanta Orthodontic Specialists.
I can’t say enough great things about Atlanta Orthodontic Specialists. From the moment you walk in, the entire team — the dental assistants and the front desk staff — are incredibly friendly, organized, and welcoming. Every visit is prompt, thorough, and handled with such professionalism and care. What really stands out is how well the team works together. There’s a genuine sense of camaraderie and collaboration that makes the whole office feel warm and positive. It’s actually a place I enjoy going to, which isn’t something most people say about orthodontist visits! Dr. Tyler truly cares about his patients — not just about the treatment, but about you as a person. He takes the time to explain things, make sure you’re comfortable, and ensure the best possible results. I’m currently receiving Invisalign treatment and have had a fantastic experience. I would highly recommend Atlanta Orthodontic Specialists to patients of any age looking for high-quality care in a friendly, supportive environment.
