About Hook Orthodontics
Broken wires and brackets often get fixed within an hour, even when patients are on vacation, and several families called the pricing the most affordable they found.
Hook Orthodontics draws frequent mention for how fast the team responds to emergencies, fixing a loose wire while a patient was on vacation and getting another child in within an hour for a broken spring. Cost comes up often too, with reviewers describing the office as upfront about finances and, in several cases, more affordable than other practices they compared. Reviews also point to early phase-one treatment and describe cases like an 18-month cross bite correction and braces removed after 16 months with noticeable improvement. Scheduling is generally easy, with short waits and appointment slots that fit around work and school.

I had part of my braces wire come loose while I was on vacation, and it was painfully poking into the inside of my cheek. I came to Hook Orthodontics for help, and I'm so glad I did! River was incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful. My wire was fixed and comfortable again. I really appreciated the excellent care, especially while I was away from home. I highly recommend Hook Orthodontics!
Everyone is friendly and wonderful! They work to work us in whenever needed. They do a great job of explaining things to parents and kids!
Felt scammed. THIS PLACE ONLY FOR BRACES AND INVISALIGN. First time going to a dentist in years because I needed emergency work done. I had called around explaining my situation and landed on this place because they were the only dentist with same day appointment. I went in hope to get a referral for wisdom teeth extraction. Despite my situation they took me in sat me down, took 2 X-rays of me. And then told me they can’t write the referral as they are not general dentists. Then they walk me next door and they couldn’t even open the X-rays that were sent so I had to take 2 more I should’ve done my research. Regardless, really friendly staff. I wish they were upfront and didn’t sit me down when I had told them my situation. I did not need braces or was informed they couldn’t do what I needed and be upfront about it. Felt scammed
My twin daughters had a great experience. Very friendly & professional. Great customer service. Highly recommend this place.
I am extremely disappointed with my experience here. I spent over a year and $5,000 on Invisalign, only to have my teeth look worse than when I started. Not only is the treatment incredibly slow with no guarantee of results, but I actually lost a crown on my front tooth during the process. Now that I am unhappy with the alignment, the office told me my treatment "expired" and is demanding an extra $1,600 just to continue. I expected a transformation I could be proud of, but instead, I am left with a missing tooth and a bill for thousands more in restorative work. I would not recommend this office or Invisalign based on how I’ve been treated.
