About BUSSICK ORTHODONTICS
Dr. Timothy Bussick answers emergency calls personally and has treated some families across decades and multiple kids.
This orthodontic practice sees a large share of families with several children moving through braces or Invisalign at the same time, often with siblings on staggered plans. Reviews note that Dr. Bussick personally fixes broken retainers or brackets the same day and even shares his cell number for emergencies. The office draws attention for kid-focused touches like a punch-card reward system and a slushie machine, alongside a clean, modern space. A smaller number of reviews describe billing confusion, including disputed insurance credits and one account of an unexpectedly large retreatment charge.

I would highly recommend Dr. Bussick for all of your orthodontic needs. I have been a patient for more than 20 years, and even though I live two hours away, I continue to make the drive because of the exceptional care I receive. Throughout the years, Dr. Bussick has helped me navigate numerous health transitions and has consistently provided thoughtful, personalized treatment every step of the way. I have a very complex orthodontic case, and Dr. Bussick has worked diligently to resolve issues that other providers may have found challenging. What sets Dr. Bussick apart is not only expertise and attention to detail, but also the genuine care shown to every patient. Dr. Bussick takes the time to listen carefully to my concerns, explain treatment options, and develop a plan that is tailored to my specific needs and goals. In addition, the entire staff has always been welcoming, professional, and compassionate. They go out of their way to make me feel comfortable during every visit and never make me feel rushed. Their patience, kindness, and commitment to excellent patient care have made a lasting impression on me over the years. Thanks to Dr. Bussick’s dedication and skill, I feel confident in my smile and confident that my orthodontic needs are being managed by someone I trust completely. After more than two decades as a patient, I can say without hesitation that Dr. Bussick and the team consistently provide outstanding care and truly put their patients first. I am incredibly grateful for everything they have done for me and would enthusiastically recommend them to anyone seeking high-quality orthodontic treatment.
Very timely at every appointment, all very pleasant individuals that work there! After and before photos of doing Invisalign with Bussick Orthodontics. Highly recommend them!
They love and care for the kids and adult and doing anything for them I hope the best for you guys
We have used Bussick for all three of our children's orthodontic needs. They do a fantastic job. Dr. Bussick and his staff show you that they really care about each individual patient. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
I am extremely disappointed with my experience at Bussick Orthodontics. I literally had my braces placed only two days ago, and my first follow-up isn’t even until April 9. Despite this, I was told I supposedly owe $1,745.83, even though the office also said they “voided” my full $4,200 treatment plan. This number makes absolutely no sense and does not reflect any work actually done—all I’ve had is the placement appointment. Additionally, I am in significant pain from the braces, and the office has downplayed my discomfort and failed to return my calls in a timely manner. Communication has been extremely poor, and billing has been confusing, aggressive, and misleading. I understand that orthodontic treatment can be costly, but charging someone mid-treatment for work they haven’t received is unacceptable. I hope the office improves their billing transparency and patient care.
