About Toso Orthodontics
Scheduling built around local school exam calendars makes it easy for families juggling several kids' treatment at once, under longtime doctor Dr. Lydia Toso.
This orthodontic practice has built long-term trust with local families, with reviews noting a multi-decade relationship and an approach that avoids pushing treatment before a child is ready. Scheduling gets particular attention, with staff coordinating around school exam calendars and fitting in appointments for households with several children in braces or aligners at once. Reviews also describe gentle handling of young and anxious patients during visits, though a couple of accounts mention frustration with how treatment concerns were addressed or with results.

Dr. Toso and her staff are truly the best! There is no one else I would trust with my daughters’ smiles. From the moment you walk through the door, you are greeted with a smile and made to feel like family. Everyone is genuinely happy to see you, takes the time to catch up on life’s events, and always makes sure everything is running smoothly. They are incredibly accommodating and always do their best to work us into the schedule whenever we need them. Most importantly, my girls are always happy and comfortable when they’re there. We are so thankful for Dr. Toso and her amazing team!

Outstanding team and experience! You'll meet Blair first; she's the personable and professional office/admin chief. She relates well to children, teens and adults alike, making the process from start to finish easy on you. She even knows exam schedules for all the local schools for easy scheduling. Dr. Jamie and all her crew are top-notch. Highly recommended!

We LOVE the whole team at Toso Orthodontics!! My son has seen Dr. Toso for his orthodontic care since he was 8 years old. I was very concerned about him seeing an orthodontist so young, but Dr. Toso made us feel very comfortable and did not push any treatments until she thought he was absolutely ready for them. Through an expander and braces, our 8 year journey has just recently ended with a perfect smile and two retainers! We are going to miss the team over there, as they have become like family!! Although, my son has vowed to continue going to the office to see Dr. Toso, Blair and the team after he gets his driver’s license! Having a 16 year old wanting to spend time with you should say everything!! Thank you, Toso Orthodontics!!! ❤️

The staff at Toso doesn’t just take care of your orthodontic needs, they become family. They are the warmest, most accommodating professionals I’ve ever worked with, and they care about your family, not just their mouths! I wouldn’t have anyone else put braces on my kids’ teeth, they’re just the best!
