About McNamara Orthodontics
Underbites corrected in under two years and adults returning for a second round of treatment stand alongside Dr. Laurie and Dr. Jim McNamara's work on difficult bite cases.
Reviews here lean heavily on difficult cases: underbites corrected in under two years, gaps closed precisely, and multi-year bite corrections described as thorough rather than rushed. Adults show up often, including some coming back for a second round of orthodontic work as adults, alongside young children starting early phase-one treatment for jaw growth issues. The doctors are frequently credited with taking on complicated cases other offices might not, including emergency fixes on weekends and personal callbacks after hours.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. McNamara and her entire team! From the very beginning of my Invisalign journey, I was incredibly impressed by Dr. McNamara’s knowledge, expertise, and genuine care for her patients. I remember experiencing a little bit of pain when I first started Invisalign, and Dr. McNamara called me back right away to make sure everything was okay. That level of attentiveness and personal care really stood out to me. You can tell that she and her staff truly want everything to be just right—not only during treatment, but especially when it comes to making sure you are happy with the end result. I had a stubborn space between my two front teeth that I really wanted corrected, and Dr. McNamara and her team were so patient and determined to get it perfect. They paid attention to every detail and never made me feel like they were finished until everything looked just right. I am so happy with my results! The entire staff is warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. The front office team always greets you with a smile and is so accommodating if you need to reschedule. Being able to communicate by text was also amazing and made everything so convenient. And on top of all of that, the location is fantastic and the office itself is absolutely adorable! Every visit felt comfortable and positive. If you are considering orthodontic treatment, I highly recommend Dr. McNamara and her team. Their combination of knowledge, competency, attention to detail, and genuine care for their patients is truly exceptional. I am so grateful for the experience and absolutely love my results.
I have loved my time at McNamara Orthodontics. All of the employees made the experience not only feel safe and personalized, but fun! I am always excited to go to an appointment and be greeted by all the smiles. Besides the wonderful people, I am very happy with how my teeth turned out. It was a very smooth process and I was always able to communicate any issues. I am so grateful to have been a patient at such a trustworthy establishment and will be visiting.
Dr. Laurie and her staff are amazing! The attention to detail and prompt service are appreciated by our family. Our kids love coming to McNamara Orthodontics where kindness and expertise are always present.
We love McNamara! Laurie is incredible and the staff is so friendly. Both of our children’s mouths are beautiful, thanks to them!!
Absolutely phenomenal orthodontist office! Laurie and the team are fantastic, caring, inclusive, and knowledgeable! I'd previously been told that I'd need invasive surgeries to fix my issues, while Dr Laurie was able to put together an effective treatment plan that has worked great so far. I can't thank them enough for the great results. Also, the team is extremely LGBT+ considerate, which is not always the case in the medical field, so it's always appreciated when doctors go above and beyond for their patients.
