About Jerde Orthodontics
Dr. Jerde and Dr. Dennehy are credited with detailed treatment planning and early intervention that one family says helped avoid jaw surgery.
Jerde Orthodontics treats a lot of families with several children moving through treatment at once, and reviews often mention young kids who look forward to their appointments rather than dread them. Both Dr. Jerde and Dr. Dennehy are described as thorough in diagnosis and treatment planning, with several notes about early intervention avoiding the need for jaw surgery later on. The office itself comes up often too, with a clean, welcoming space and resident dogs mentioned as a nice touch.

Terrible place. When they put on braces it hurts like hell, and they don't do anything about it. It's taken them over 10 years to fix my teeth, and suck every dollar out of you. They keep over correcting my teeth, meaning they move them in, and then that's too much, so that move them out, too much etc. I've had braces for two +years, Terrible experience. They fired the only person in the whole place that I respected. I'm about to rip out my teeth with rusty pliers. Also most of these reviews are parents, who think they're helping their kids, but aren't. And don't ask how it goes. They just see the outside, and the fake smiles.
