About Buchart + Wachs Orthodontics

Adults avoiding jaw surgery and multi-child families both describe Dr. Buchart and Dr. Wachs finishing complex cases, from crossbites to underbites, without long waits.

Dr. Michael Buchart and Dr. Lucy Wachs see a wide age range here, from young children through teens to adults, with several reviews describing siblings treated over multiple years. Appointments tend to run on time, and a number of reviews mention adult cases such as a crossed underbite corrected with braces or a second opinion that avoided jaw surgery. Results are frequently highlighted, including a difficult crossbite and improved confidence from a straightened smile, though a few notes mention rushed visits or a slow-moving Invisalign case.

Buchart and Wachs is a wonderful practice- from the front desk to the doctors’ themselves! I refer patients to them and they take care of my 3 children. I would highly recommend.

As a local general dentist with 35 years of experience working with different specialists, I have found both Dr Buchart and Dr Wachs to be excellent in every way. They really finish their cases nicely which is one of the most difficult aspects of orthodontics and many times is overlooked. I have sent my family and many of my patients there, always with great results. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Thank you guys!! Dr M. Scott Smith DMD.

I have been a patient of Buchart and Wachs for right at a year! I am older and was nervous about adult orthodontia, I have a difficult bite- a crossed underbite, which I've been told in previous consultations that I'm going to need surgery. I absolutely did not want to pursue that so I got a second opinion from Dr. Wachs, immediately she said "This isn't a bone issue, its a teeth issue and we can fix it with braces." I just looked at her and said, "Where do I sign?" and that was that. Fast forward to a year later and I'm already out of my braces and my teeth are perfect. I never knew it could be this easy, they offer payment plans, they are amazing to work with, I never had to wait longer than about 5 min for my appointments. 10/10 experience that I encourage anyone who wants to fix their smile or get rid of jaw pain to look into.
