I did my entire Invisalign treatment here and it was the best! The owner, Dr.Maddison is so kind and attentive. They were super prompt with all communication and doing my treatment here was a breeze! If you are at all considering it do it here! They are the best!

I had a wonderful experience at Pura Vida Orthodontics with my Invisalign treatment. I started the treatment before finding out that I was moving abroad (ironically to Costa Rica). The staff were so accommodating and flexible with my travel schedule. The dentists and assistants were so friendly, kind and cheerful. It was a great experience and I have recommended the clinic to my family and friends. Since I live in Costa Rica, I can genuinely say that the “pura vida” mentality is alive and well here at the clinic. Thanks for everything- I love my new smile!!
