About Hughes Orthodontics LLC
Dr. Jay Hughes is known for early phase-1 treatment planning and for personally returning to the office after hours to fix a broken bracket.
Reviews at Hughes Orthodontics describe Dr. Jay Hughes as available well beyond typical office hours, including coming in after closing to repair a bracket and staying reachable years after braces come off. Early treatment for younger kids comes up often, alongside cases involving teens and adults, and several families mention having multiple children treated here over time. One review describes a surgically corrected underbite that Dr. Hughes coordinated with insurance considerations, with results still holding up a year later.

I had an excellent experience at Hughes Orthodontics. I was a little worried before my appointment, but from the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel welcome and comfortable. Everyone was kind, professional, and very organized. The doctor was wonderful — very knowledgeable, patient, and thorough in explaining the treatment plan. I felt confident that I was in good hands. The entire visit was smooth and stress-free. I truly appreciate the care and attention I received. I highly recommend this office to anyone looking for high-quality orthodontic care.
