I had an appointment with Dr. Tyler Rathburn, at the Dunwody location last tuesday and it truly was a wonderful experience. He took the time to explain everything thoroughly, which gave me a sense of confidence that I hadn’t felt in years due to my fears. His care and empathy made a significant difference as we discussed the options for my situation. I really appreciated his kindness and expertise. I am now feeling excited and ready to transform my smile into something amazing. I am deeply grateful for his passion for his work and the genuine support he provides. Thank you Doctor and your amazing team. Sincerely Rocio Sundberg🌸

I can’t recommend this place enough!! From my first appointment to my last, I would look forward to every appointment because I felt SO well taken care of. I came in with severe TMJ issues because of a terrible bite and Dr. Moore and her team were so accommodating and played a huge part in helping me fix my jaw pain and bite. Big shout out to Simone who took such good care of me and who I can now call a friend!! Also my teeth look great after the braces and they offered a payment plan to help me afford the treatment I needed! This place and the whole staff is exceptional, friendly, professional, and a joy to visit. Please visit them if you are in need of great orthodontic care!
