About Heller Orthodontics
Dr. Alan Heller personally squeezes patients in for urgent situations—like jaw pain or a pre-wedding fix—while closely tracking each case's progress.
Dr. Alan Heller is described as a sharp, hands-on diagnostician who checks in regularly on treatment progress and has personally worked patients into the schedule for urgent situations, including a jaw pain emergency and a case that needed fixing before a wedding. Several reviews mention multiple children from the same family being treated here, and the office is noted for gentle, comfortable care with both aligners and braces. Results are described as confident, satisfying smiles across family members, with steps explained along the way.

I had an excellent experience getting Invisalign with Dr. Alan Heller at Heller Orthodontics. From my very first consultation, Dr. Heller and the entire team were professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely attentive. They took the time to explain every step of the process, which made me feel confident and comfortable moving forward. The treatment itself was smooth and much easier than I expected. The aligners were comfortable, and I appreciated how clearly everything was planned from the beginning. Throughout the process, Dr. Heller checked in regularly and made sure everything was progressing perfectly. The staff were always friendly, appointments were efficient, and the office had a welcoming atmosphere. I’m extremely happy with my results and would highly recommend Dr. Heller and Heller Orthodontics to anyone considering Invisalign. Thank you for such a positive experience!

I’ve had a great experience with Heller Orthodontics and their team! They’ve been taking care of my braces, and from day one, the service has been professional, friendly, and very thorough. Every visit is smooth, and they always take the time to explain what’s being done and answer any questions I have.

Dr. Heller and his staff are welcoming, kind and knowledgeable. He definitely goes above and beyond to accommodate each patient. Because of this, the atmosphere in the office is 100% patient centered. My entire family, including my daughter and grandchildren have benefited. Our smiles are brighter and bigger because of Dr. Heller’s impeccable ability!

Dr. Heller has done it again! One week before my wedding day I had a tooth related incident and Dr. Heller was able to fit me in his busy schedule and correct the problem in a expedient manner. Now just 6 days out, I'll be smiling my best. Thank you so much!
