We’ve been going to Ames Orthodontics for a few years now, and our experience has been nothing short of excellent. Both of our kids have needed different types of orthodontic work, and we’ve been consistently impressed with the clean, welcoming environment and the fun, friendly staff who make every visit enjoyable. Dr. Ames and Dr. Peterson both show a genuine interest in our kids, not only in their treatment plans but also in connecting with them personally. They take the time to explain things in ways that resonate with each child’s personality, which makes the process less intimidating and much more engaging. My kids actually look forward to their appointments. The office itself is spotless and thoughtfully designed, and the free coffee bar is a great perk for parents. Most importantly, the care is professional, thorough, and centered on the patient. We’ve thoroughly enjoyed our time here and highly recommend Ames Orthodontics to anyone looking for outstanding orthodontic care for their children.

I got braces back in June and I was so nervous, but the orthodontists were so nice about it! The staff are so comforting, kind, and caring! The place itself is very welcoming and the free smoothie/coffee bar is the best! So glad I decided to come here for braces, it’s very worth it.

Dr Ames is wonderful! I've had braces previously and recently my permanent retainer was bent and pushing on my teeth. I called around the FM area and was either told they don't do repairs on non-patients or it would be an insane price to even be seen. Here I was able to be seen right away for a very reasonable price, they were very informative on what my different options were, and so considerate. I was quite literally saved by Thor. If I could give them a higher rating, I would.

I went to Ames when I had a tooth shift. They were quick to get me in. The staff were very professional and kind. I was explained all my options and shown multiple reasons my problem could’ve occurred. I was shocked by their prices and how affordable it was to fix my teeth if those steps were necessary. I highly recommend trying them out!! Dr. Ames was very upfront and knowledgeable along with the other Dr. I unfortunately forgot the name of.

I can’t say enough positive things about this orthodontist. There is an obvious vibe of inclusivity which is awesome. The staff is patient, especially with anxious patients. The artwork makes a person feel cozy and comfortable. The coffee shop is very cool. It’s always so clean as well. Always impressed!!!!
