About Gorman & Bunch Orthodontics

Dr. Hickman offers honest comparisons between braces and Invisalign, treating whole families across generations from young children to grandparents.

Reviews at Gorman & Bunch Orthodontics often mention Dr. Hickman's straightforward, non-pushy approach, including honest second opinions weighing braces against Invisalign and individualized plans for each child. Several notes describe adult patients in their 40s and 50s revisiting orthodontic work after teeth drifted from childhood braces, with new 3D scanning technology replacing physical impressions for a smoother experience. Multiple siblings are often treated over the years, and a few reviews describe extra patience shown with anxious or special-needs children during early steps like spacers.

As a person who had orthodontics for the better part of my childhood, I was feeling a bit nervous to take my own child. I remember a lot of discomfort. When I say, this whole experience has been beyond great, I truly mean it. They take things so slowly, with baby steps even for a spacer (1st rubber spacers, then at the next appt metal, then a third appointment the spacer itself). My son hasn’t winced once. And he would absolutely let us know if he was in pain (he’s 9). From the very first appointment with Kelly (who is so great), to meeting Dr. Hickman (recommended by our dentist), to Becca who checks us in every time and has been so amazing!!, to Brittney who inserted his spacer today and answered all of our several questions with such kindness and patience. Everyone is super kind, in a very real, down-to-earth way. I even completely forgot about an appointment, and not only did they call ME, but they let us come in 50 minutes late without any rude stares or anything like that. They feel like our orthodontic family! 🥰 I know there are a lot of orthodontics in the area, but what really took me to this one was our dental hygienist saying all 4 of her kids went there, and then after our first appointment (free consultation) we decided to absolutely go with this group. Oh! And they have the best flexible payment plan I’ve ever seen, with 0% interest. So so so appreciated. I would absolutely recommend this practice.

Miss Kelly was the best first impression of the office when meeting for consultation. From that day forward, I knew this would the best place and fit for my treatment. The entire team is so welcoming and warm! I also love that they make the process fun with their rewards system. 10/10, 100% recommend! Thank you Dr. Hickman and team🩷
