About Edina Orthodontics - Centennial Lakes
The orthodontist here is noted for holding off on braces until a child is truly ready, and adults are treated as often as teens.
Edina Orthodontics - Centennial Lakes treats a notable share of adult patients alongside the usual teen and pediatric caseload, and several reviews mention early evaluations where treatment was delayed until a child was actually ready rather than started right away. The orthodontist is repeatedly credited with explaining each step of a plan and sticking with complicated cases, including one where congenitally missing teeth were caught before treatment began. Reviews also mention siblings from the same family going through treatment together over the years, with staff remembered by name at repeat visits.
