About Arrowhead Orthodontics
Braces make up the bulk of treatment here, with teens making up a larger share of patients than typical and multiple office locations easing sibling scheduling.
Arrowhead Orthodontics treats a high volume of braces cases, including LightForce custom braces that reviews say shaved months off treatment time, alongside Invisalign and cases paired with planned jaw surgery. Teens show up in reviews more than at a typical practice, and families with several kids in treatment often mention being able to schedule siblings together across the practice's multiple locations. Reviews also point to a comfortable, low-pressure experience for younger and more anxious patients, with staff described as gentle when applying braces and patient in answering questions before treatment begins.

Every experience we have had has been great! Everyone has been so kind and helpful! We love the reward system they have for the extra motivation for the kids to keep up on their oral hygiene. It helps them take responsibility as well. So thankful for everyone here!
