About Lifetime Orthodontics
Dr. Gerald Wesley's practice draws praise for honest treatment planning, including avoiding unnecessary phases, and for handling transfer patients from failed prior orthodontic attempts.
Reviews frequently highlight Dr. Gerald Wesley's detail-oriented approach and honesty, with several noting he avoids pushing costly phase 2 treatment or unnecessary retainer products when it isn't needed. Results are often described as dramatic, including adult patients achieving straight teeth later in life and transfer patients finding better outcomes after prior SmileDirectClub or other orthodontist experiences. The office is noted for running on time, offering discounts for fire, police, school and military families, and handling emergencies like broken brackets quickly.

Dr.Wesley is absolutely amazing. He was my son’s first orthodontist dr, and has given my son a spacer and now a full set of braces and we couldn’t be happier. He is so kind so gentle and so is the staff at Lifetime. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone
