About Thayer Orthodontics
Dr. Thayer's office frequently handles retainer repairs and mid-treatment transfers for patients arriving from other orthodontists, alongside flexible before- and after-school scheduling.
Reviews describe Dr. Thayer as attentive over the long term, remembering details about patients years after treatment and timing steps proactively rather than rushing them. The practice comes up often for retainer adjustments and for picking up care mid-treatment when families move from another orthodontist, and scheduling gets particular mention for same-day emergency slots and hours built around the school day. A smaller number of reviews point to results holding up well years after braces came off, with teeth staying straight and bites intact.

I had braces years ago in another state and needed a new retainer and found Thayer orthodontics. I was extremely impressed by how personable every staff member was. Dr Thayer was very kind and knowledgeable. It was such an easy and pleasant experience, I would recommend this office to anyone!

Very professional office staff. Everyone here was very kind and explained the processes. I’ve never had a good experience with dentists/orthodontists because they typically don’t do patient teaching at all, but this office is the exception. Dr. Thayer was thorough and answered my questions.
