About Azar Orthodontics
A conservative, wait-and-see approach to treatment timing means Dr. Nick Azar sometimes recommends waiting rather than starting braces early.
Reviews describe a family-run practice where the current orthodontist, Dr. Nick Azar, is noted for holding off on treatment when it isn't yet needed rather than pushing early intervention. Appointments are frequently described as running on time, with a consistent monthly slot offered for ongoing patients, and several reviews mention late hours that work well for parents juggling schedules. Families with multiple kids in treatment at once and anxious or nervous patients also come up often, with notes on staff easing worry during retainer fittings and adjustments.

Dr. Azar and his staff have patiently treated two of our sons through their high school years. One through traditional braces and one using Invisalign. He clearly saw the needs of each patient and stated the pros and cons of each method. I would recommend this practice ten times over!
