We are on vacation and my son’s tooth fell out but was still connected by brackets and wires. Hawaii Orthodontist got us right in and took care of us! Staff was friendly and kind and the office was clean and fun. Thank you so much!!

I broke a bracket on my flight visiting from the mainland. Without being an established patient, I called the office and got an appointment the same day. They helped clip my poking wire and gave me a mouth rinse for my cut. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. They helped make a very stressful situation better.

My 8 year old son had his braces pop off at the start of our vacation. I called Hawaii Orthodontist and they took care of him right away. They were so friendly and helpful. I highly recommend them if you’re in need or an Ortho. Thank you so much for your help!!
