About Bow Tie Orthodontics
Multiple locations mean patients can get seen at any of three offices, and Dr. Jay Williams personally calls families to talk through treatment plans.
Reviews highlight the convenience of three office locations, which many say makes emergency visits and scheduling easier, plus a downstairs pediatric dentist that adds to the flexibility. Families also point to flexible payment plans and pricing that worked within their budget without pressure to commit to a contract. Dr. Jay Williams comes up often for personally calling to discuss plans, reviewing X-rays before recommending treatment, and staying reachable by text or email for after-hours questions. Several reviews describe quick responses when brackets popped or bumpers needed replacing, sometimes squeezing in fixes before a vacation.

The office staff are welcoming and the doctor will take the time to personally call you to discuss your plan. I'm excited I went with them as I vetted several different places around waterford. Love the bow tie theme, and staff is very friendly.

Very happy with this practice so far. My twins both have started their braces journey. They make it very convenient and were the most affordable out of the four practices we checked out.

The best of the best! We have been seeing Dr. Jay for about 3 years - all 3 of my kiddos have seen him. We drive nearly an hour to get to the office because it's worth the drive!

We have had such a wonderful experience with Bow Tie Orthodontics! My son is a patient here, and everyone has been incredibly kind, patient, and wonderful with him. They always take the time to make him feel comfortable, which means so much to us. The office has also been extremely accommodating and flexible when it comes to scheduling appointments. We’ve had nothing but positive experiences and truly appreciate the care they provide. I would absolutely recommend Bow Tie Orthodontics to other families!
